Milena Roucka

Achieving international recognition in 2004, Milena Roucka became the first North American to win ‘Piel Dorada,’ a major Latin American modeling contest. Roucka subsequently entered the professional wrestling world in the summer of 2006, competing in the WWE Diva Search where she reached the final eight. Despite her elimination, WWE signed her to a developmental contract later that year, marking the beginning of her career under the ring name Rosa Mendes. She quickly made her debut on WWE Raw in November 2008, initially portraying a dedicated fan of WWE Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix.

Her final televised appearance with the company was on Total Divas, marking the culmination of over a decade in professional wrestling entertainment. Following her retirement, Milena Roucka continued to engage with professional wrestling, making a strategic return to the independent circuit in 2018, appearing for promotions such as MCW Pro Wrestling. Beyond her in-ring and entertainment career, Roucka has dedicated herself to community and personal development. She pursued Christian Ministry studies, earning a Bachelor of Science degree, and currently serves as a site director for a youth organization, applying her leadership skills and public presence to empower young individuals and contribute to her community.
