WWE News: WWE Diva Considered Laughing Stock, So How Has She Kept Her Job?


WWE has had several women come and go in their WWE Diva Division. The problem is that most who kept their job for some time always seemed to earn the right to stay, and they were never just there to be there. WWE is known for cutting the fat, if you will. If there isn’t a need to keep a person around, WWE will release them. So how has a certain diva kept her job?

Rosa Mendes has been with WWE since 2006, and debuted on WWE’s main roster as a Beth Phoenix intern in 2008. Rosa has since had small roles and even managed the Colon cousins Primo and Epico. When the two cousins were repackaged, Rosa was put out of a place. WWE has never really used her over the years. Before she managed Primo and Epico, the 34-year-old was barely seen on TV at all.

WWE now has figured something out with her by adding her to the 3rd season of Total Divas. The hope is that it will keep her relevant. Due to the mass filming of the show and women being together talking, rumors have swirled from the divas locker room regarding Mendes. It is said, according to Ewrestlingnews that she is a laughing stock. It is said that none of her co-workers feel she can wrestle much at all. For a girl who has been with WWE for around 8 years, you’d imagine she would have picked something up.

On top of this, she has not shown much promise with her promo ability. Really, she is the definition of “just a pretty face”. Rosa is beautiful, but when you only have this going for you it can make people wonder how you kept a job for so long.

Two things have saved her a bit in the eyes of the people backstage. Due to the fact that she has no major qualities that threaten other girls, they tolerate her because of the fact she is no real threat to their position. Everyone knows that Rosa won’t be winning the WWE Diva’s Championship any time soon.

It was reported before as well that she kept her job during the many talent cuts because of Freebird Michael Hayes who has pull within the company. According to the Wrestling Observer, Hayes “can’t get enough of her”. This led to accusations that she “did stuff” to keep her job. These rumors became more rampant when Taryn Terrell said that Hayes offered her some way to keep her job and she refused, but she did know someone else who did so.

Rosa has had issues outside the ring as well, as she was sent home from WWE’s European Tour in 2013. She was said to be drunk most of the trip, so since WWE had no use of her at that point she was put on the next plane home. Her WWE future was said to be in doubt at this point, but again nothing actually ended up happening to her.

There have been times the WWE had no use of a Diva or a Diva took time off and due to these situations they were off TV for a bit. However, no one has had the type of case Rosa Mendes has had. Now that she is on Total Divas, her WWE career is at least safe until 2015 most feel. Whether it is or not truly is up in the air but with the success of the show it is doubtful anyone from that show would be let go unless something major came up with one of them.

Although a rumor thus far, there is lot of factual information to go with it. WWE has always been a political type of organization. If played right, you could be there for a long time.
