10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Rosa Mendes

6. Her First Pay-Per-View Match Came At WrestleMania XXV

The silver anniversary of WrestleMania was a special show for a number of reasons. It was the biggest event of the calendar year and a celebration of WrestleMania's legacy. The best of the best took to the ring for that night's matches, one of which was the Battle Royal to determine the first-ever Miss WrestleMania. Divas from the past and present met for the opportunity to wear the sash and crown and one of them was Rosa. With such limited time, Divas hit the floor fast and frequently. Having very little connection with the audience and very little experience on the main roster, Rosa was deemed expendable. After just a few short moments in the match, she became one of the first Divas to be eliminated from the contest. Still, there are dozens of women who dreamed of appearing in a WrestleMania match but, for whatever reason, never accomplished their goals. She did and that is something that can never be taken away from her. Even if her ring time at the show was minute and inconsequential.
