WWE has released its line up for the company’s return to Madison Square Garden next month and there seems to be a silver lining in Tiffany’s recent legal woes for one Diva.
Rosa Mendes, in an apparent babyface turn, is coming off the bench and will team up with Kelly Kelly to take on Lay-Cool at MSG on September 26th.
I’m assuming that this is an updated line-up and the original spot was for Tiffany. I can’t see Rosa and Kelly teaming up randomly otherwise.
We’ll see if this also means a push for Rosa on TV when SmackDown tapes tonight in LA.

I love Tiffany, don’t get me wrong, but a Rosa push is amazing!

I’d rather just see her jump rope.

i hope those matches get a longer time, Rosa can’t do really fast paced matches, she’ll botch
in FCW she always used a lot of submission moves

I don’t know If I should take this as good or bad news.

“i hope those matches get a longer time, Rosa can’t do really fast paced matches, she’ll botch”
i agree, she was far better in fcw where everything isn’t rushed to the max.
i like rosa, admittedly more as a character than a wrestler, so it’ll be nice to see them finally using her.

I’m sure she’ll do fine in tag matches, as long as they keep it simple because Rosa does botch often. I’m just a little worried that this is another nail in the coffin of Tiffany’s career.

Can’t wait….. though I wouldn’t really want her as a FACE… but it’s ok…. just hope she now is better in the ring.. after more than a month of exercising backstage

So much for the theory that Gail Kim would be moved to SD to replace Tiffany.

To be honest, I don’t think Rosa is all that bad. She has incredible charisma. There’s something about her look that isn’t ‘conventional’, but a lot of people don’t care. And she’s dedicated to her job.
I know a lot of people last year put Mickie on a 10ft high pedestal last year whenever someone talked bad about the former Richmond Diva. But really? Mickie had a bad match with every one she faced on Raw. And unfortunately for Rosa, she only had singles matches with Mickie on Raw. =/

Honestly, I don’t even remember how Rosa is in the ring. The last match I remember seeing of her was against Kelly and that match wasn’t too hot from what I remember. I…oh I don’t even know. It’s sad that this would only be happening because Tiffany isn’t there, like they have no other choice…If it works out, good for her.

Kaledrina who knows, maybe in her absence she has been doing more in ring training

Ummmmmmm…..
Well good for Rosa….
Bad for us….

I have to be honest here but Rosa is the worst diva in WWE as a wrestler though and was part of the first generation of the FCW diva’s including alicia, brie, penny, nikki, natalya, savannah and tiffany, and is the worst of the bunch. If rosa dreams of being a wrestler then sure should be able to live it but she has to train if she ever wants to make a name for herself.
Im not looking forward to this unless rosa can be as agressive as tiffany because to me tiffany has already made a name for herself on Smackdown by showing that you can still be really girly and an amazing wrestler and that is the eye candy i wish WWE would hire.

Also to me rosa reminds me of the small version of melina in the beginning of her heel career, with the colored hair, girly outfits, and the sweet bitch, but they turned her face a bit to early i would of waited at least a year more just so she can build her character like melina did and maybe just maybe in 2 years rosa will have a divas championship on her waist.

I’m sorry I think every diva in the WWE has something to offer but I don’t think Rosa does. I had high hopes for as I wanted her to win the Diva search her year but I have been disappointed in her performance. I think she should stay out of the ring like LayCool said. I’m so mean lol
at 3:19 am
I love Rosa! I think she’s gorgeous and will do fine as long as Michelle helps guide her in the ring. She’s got potential. Perhaps she should gain a little more muscle. I wouldn’t mind seeing her as a Womens Champion if she improves the way Candice did.
at 3:25 am
Nice segment
at 3:26 am
@ozzyv rosa mendes will never win anything in her wwe career including the womens championship she will be future endeavored by the end of next year
at 3:27 am
So where does this leave AJ? Is she going to come to SD as a heel? Or is she going to raw as a heel because Melina already has the spot of top face and she’s already in the middle of a fued with Lay-Cool. So I gues we will be seeing her on NXT? I hope Rosa only wrestles with Kelly untill Tffany comes back or they could fued about kelly replacing her.
at 4:21 am
I love rosa mendes and she needs more TV time! She aint that bad in the ring too.
at 4:44 am
I hope that was actually training in the past few months. She has to prove everyone wrong, but I highly doubt that she can.
at 4:45 am
@Layglamacool – Says you. Stranger things have happened. And if Maryse can win a Title, then so can Rosa. And u don’t know that she’s going to be released. If they push her and she does well, who knows? We have atleast give her a chance.
at 5:02 am
yeah i agree with ozzyy we cant say how she would do with a push until they give her the chance u never know she might take the chance and run with it kinda like how madison did in TNA
at 6:03 am
Uhhhh best news ever!!
I can see her having decent matches with Layla and Michelle McCool is really good at making people look good – i.e Maria, Kelly
at 6:12 am
I prefer rosa to be in the soap aperas at channel 52.
