Speaking on Too Much Information, Shelly Martinez, a former WWE Diva, revealed why she was banned from taking part in bikini contests. Speaking on her YouTube channel, Martinez was discussing one of her outfits with the show’s host.

During their conversation, the ECW Diva claimed the company banned her from participating in a bikini contest after she won one of the events. The promotion enforced a ban mainly because Martinez was a heel on television, and they didn’t want a traditional heel to win a babyface-esque contest on the weekly product.

“I wore both of these, not together, in WWE. That skirt I wore and then that bikini top. I still have it. I wore it with a bikini when I was in Mexico, and I did the bikini contest, and I won, and they said I can’t do the bikini contest anymore because I’m a heel and I’m not supposed to be winning,” Martinez said.

Ex-WWE Diva wanted to hook up with CM Punk

Dating is the norm backstage across several wrestling promotions as superstars end up spending time together on the road. While some relationships evolve, others don’t get a perfect ending. A while back, Shelly Martinez opened up about her personal life on her YouTube channel.

The former Ariel revealed that she was interested in CM Punk when they both were on ECW. However, circumstances weren’t in her favor, and the two didn’t end up together. Moreover, Martinez was glad she didn’t get physical with The Second City Saint, as she was also close to one of his friends.

The two never got into a relationship, and Martinez was eventually released from WWE. She spent time on the independent circuit for a few years and retired from in-ring competition in 2017.
