MNM was a stable in World Wrestling Entertainment that consisted of Joey Mercury (previously Joey Matthews), Johnny Nitro, and manager/valet Melina Perez.[1] Though they broke up and reunited on one occasion, while together Mercury and Nitro were three time WWE Tag Team Champions[2] and Melina was a one time WWE Women's Champion.[3] They have, at certain points been joined by other members, Mark Henry, Mick Foley and Jillian Hall, however Nitro, Mercury and Melina remained the only constant members.
Their gimmick was that of a trio of Hollywood celebrities, complete with a red carpet ring entrance, that had them accompanied by "paparazzi".[4] Their group name was derived from the first letter of Mercury and Nitro's last names, along with the first letter of Melina's first.
