Melanie Pillam, wife of the renowned Brian Pillam, married the former WWF and WCW standout in 1993. Last year, she was also featured in a Dark Side of the Ring episode based on her late spouse.

Melanie has suffered from a number of controversies and tragedies during her life, including drug and alcohol addiction.
With fellow newbie Griff Garrison, Brian Pillman Jr. began participating on AEW Dark.
Before defeating Cezar Bononi and David Ali, Pillman Jr. and Garrison had a string of losses in their early days as a tag team.
Pillman Jr. officially signed a full-time contract with AEW on July 12, 2021, after allying with Julia Hart.
The Varsity Blondes had previously contended for the AEW Tag Team Championships while The Young Bucks were the champions. They were unable to win, unfortunately.
When Pillman Jr. stepped up to Miro in the TNT Championship, he was also vying for a singles crown. The Redeemer, on the other hand, defeated him.
