Patrick Clark, a 19-year-old wrestling coach from Washington, D.C., was a competitor on WWE Tough Enough, a reality show competition for a shot as a WWE pro wrestler. Clark pursued a career in sports-entertainment after the death of his father. Clark's drive led him through 10 years of JROTC and to amateur competition wrestling for Forestville Military Academy from 2011 to 2013. Clark is currently a competitor and a coach in the Mid Atlantic Wrestling Association.

Melina Perez is one of WWE's most decorated Divas in their history! She's also considered to be one of the most unique women to ever set foot in a WWE ring. Her infamous splits entrance has captivated the WWE Universe for over 6 years, and has made her a stand out Diva. Melina moved to WWE's flagship show, becoming a Diva over the course of time, and in 2007, her hard work was rewarded with a win over Mickie James for the coveted Women's Title. Melina would go on to win the title two more times. With the demise of the Women's Title, Melina started to pursue the Divas Championship. After being drafted back to RAW, Melina defeated Jillian to win the belt. However, her reign was cut short due to a torn ACL. After eight months out of action, Melina returned and quickly regained the belt she never lost.
