• WHO? — Batista, Royal Rumble Winner and World Heavyweight Champion.
• WHEN? – Late 2005
• WHERE? – WWE
• THE LOWDOWN – MNM faced Batista and Eddie Guerrero twice before Melina instigated a full-on feud between her and the Heavyweight Champ.

• THE ENCOUNTERS – After a plan by Melina went awry, she sought revenge:
••• SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2005 - MNM VS. BATISTA & EDDIE GUERRERO – MNM took on the team of Eddie Guerrero and Batista. Eddie seemed to be turning a new leaf in becoming friends with Batista, but claimed that he was too sick to compete in the match. Batista took on Nitro and Mercury by himself, and seemed to have things under control when Eddie made his way from the back, grimacing in pain. He was well enough, however, to tag himself in when Batista had the match won, frog splashing on Mercury and getting the pin. [PHOTOS]
••• NOVEMBER 4TH, 2005 - MNM VS. BATISTA & EDDIE GUERRERO — One week after winning back their Tag Team Championships, MNM were confronted by GM Teddy Long, who announced that they would be defending their new Titles against Batista & Guerrero. Things looked grim for MNM until Melina got involved, stealing a bell ringer from Guerrero and pulling out a pair of brass knuckles. In attempting to hand them to Mercury, Melina was frog splashed by Eddie. Melina rolled out of the ring in pain, but Joey had the brass knuckles, and clocked Eddie in the head with them, rolling him up for the win. [PHOTOS]
••• DECEMBER 16TH, 2005 – MNM were again forced into a Tag Title defense - this time against Batista and Rey Mysterio. Melina looked to put a stop to this, and tried to “convince” Batista to reconsider the match. Her tactics did not help, and MNM lost the match and their titles. [PHOTOS]
••• DECEMBER 30TH, 2005 – Early in the night, Melina announced that she will be suing Batista for sexual harassment for last week’s events. Later, MNM get a rematch for their Tag Titles. Melina seemed much more subdued than usual, running away from Batista when he came near her. When it seemed as though Batista had the match won, Mark Henry attacked him and left him lying, allowing Mercury to get the pin and the Tag Titles. Melina smiled, raising Henry’s hand in a show that she may have had a plan. [PHOTOS]
••• JANUARY 6TH, 2006 - MNM VS. BATISTA & REY MYSTERIO – Batista and Rey Mysterio looked to regain the Tag Titles in a Steel Cage match against MNM. Mysterio and Batista dominated most of the match until Mark Henry appeared, tearing the door off the steel cage and decimating Mysterio and Batista, aiding MNM in a victory two weeks in a row. [PHOTOS]

• NOW? – Batista was soon injured by Mark Henry, putting an abrupt end to the feud. Today, Batista continues his dominance over the SmackDown brand.
