Milena Leticia Roucka, a talented and multifaceted individual, is professionally recognized as Rosa Mendes, a highly accomplished Canadian professional wrestler, valet, and former model, who has established a remarkable presence within the WWE organization.
Before embarking on her illustrious wrestling career, Roucka pursued higher education at the esteemed University of British Columbia, where she enrolled in the business program. However, she eventually decided to leave academia to pursue a career in modeling, which would ultimately prove to be a pivotal decision.
Roucka's modeling endeavors yielded a remarkable array of successes, including the coveted 2004 Piel Dorada competition, a prestigious title that serves as a testament to her exceptional skill and dedication. In addition to her modeling accomplishments, Roucka has also ventured into the world of commercial acting, further diversifying her impressive repertoire of talents.
In the middle of 2006, Christina Roucka embarked on a journey that would ultimately shape her professional wrestling career, participating in the WWE Diva Search competition, where she finished in fourth place, despite her impressive performance. Interestingly, her participation in the competition caught the attention of WWE officials, who were impressed by her skills and charisma, and subsequently offered her a contract to join the WWE roster.
Under the ring name 'Roucka', she began training in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW),a renowned developmental territory, honing her craft and refining her in-ring abilities. Her dedication and hard work eventually paid off, as she went on to win the OVW Women's Championship on September 19, 2007, marking a significant milestone in her career.
Christina Roucka's impressive reign as OVW Women's Champion lasted for a remarkable five months, until February 20, 2008, during which time she consistently demonstrated her wrestling prowess and captivated audiences with her performances.
As the calendar flipped to the next month, Roucka made the significant transition to Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's newly established developmental territory, marking a crucial step in her professional journey.
In the midst of this new chapter, Roucka's presence began to be felt on the Raw stage, as she started to make appearances alongside the formidable Beth Phoenix and the charismatic Santino Marella, forging a connection that would have a lasting impact on her character.
As the year drew to a close, Roucka's role on Raw continued to evolve, and in the autumn of 2009, she found herself being reassigned to the ECW brand, a move that would pave the way for a fresh narrative thread to unfold.
It was within this new context that Roucka's on-screen relationship with the charismatic Zack Ryder began to take shape, as she assumed the role of his manager, guiding him through the twists and turns of the ECW landscape.
The duo made their way back to the Raw brand in February 2010, marking a significant milestone in their professional journey. Shortly after, Mendes was drafted to the SmackDown brand in April, a move that would ultimately shape the course of her wrestling career.
As the months went by, Mendes went on to achieve a major accomplishment in November, when she won the prestigious Queen of FCW title in Florida Championship Wrestling. This impressive feat cemented her status as a formidable force in the world of professional wrestling.
However, her reign as Queen of FCW came to an end in February 2011, as she relinquished the title. But Mendes was far from finished, as she began to pursue a new path in late 2011.
Rosa, in particular, started to make a name for herself as a manager, taking on the role of guiding the duo of Primo & Epico. Her efforts paid off, as she successfully managed the team to a WWE Tag Team Championship reign, a testament to her skills and dedication.
Throughout her journey, Rosa has proven herself to be a shrewd and calculating manager, always looking for ways to advance the careers of her clients. Her partnership with Primo & Epico has been a defining feature of her time in the WWE, and she continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling.
