Rosa Mendes is a retired professional wrestler and manager best known fo rcompeting in WWE, where she portrayed a villainess.
Rosa made her main roster debut on the day after Survivor Series in 2008 as an audience member who was an obsessed fan of Beth Phoenix. Her obsession eventually reached a point where she jumped from the crowd and attacked Melina to "protect" Beth. Rosa eventually became an in-ring Diva and mainly served as Beth's evil protégé/tag team partner in several matches. In 2009, Rosa was moved to the ECW brand, where she served as the girlfriend/valet for Zack Ryder.
In 2011, Rosa would become a villainess again and align with Alicia Fox and Tamina Snuka for months as they feuded with Natalya, AJ Lee, and Kaitlyn. Rosa later became the villainous manager for Primo and Epico Colon, who became WWE Tag Team Champions with her in their corner. During her role as a manager, Rosa also engaged in feuds with Divas such as Natalya, Naomi, and Cameron. She continues to feud with the aforementioned Divas, along with the rest of the cast of Total Divas.
After a brief hiatus, the evil Rosa returned to Raw in October 2013 and continued feuding with the Total Divas cast. She joined the villainous "True Divas" group led by AJ Lee, and was on the losing end of a pair of elimination matches against the Total Divas at Survivor Series and on the following evening's Raw. Rosa became part of the cast of Total Divas in 2014, but she continued acting as a villainess by serving as Fandango's dance partner and manager. After Fandango dumped her, a scorned Rosa turned her affections to Adam Rose.
Rosa announced her retirement from WWE on February 13, 2017.
