* BaseBreakingCharacter: During her time, she was disliked by a good portion of wrestling fans for being considered extremely weak in the ring, and showing no visible improvement in spite of her longevity with the company. There was also annoyance that she was added to ''Series/TotalDivas'' and featured in a wrestling role because of it, in favour of other Divas who weren't getting TV time. However, there are fans who felt that Rosa wasn't meant to be a wrestler but still had the charisma and microphone skills to be an effective manager and that WWE should have utilised her in that role (similar to Maryse, whose ring skills suffered after her injury and was then made a valet to play to her strengths). This portion points to some particularly strong parts of her career, such as managing Beth Phoenix, Zack Ryder or Primo and Epico.

** She debuted as Beth Phoenix's LoonyFan, going out of her way to attack Melina multiple times. As Melina was challenging Beth for the title at the 2009 ''Royal Rumble'', it looked very odd that Rosa wasn't involved in the match or subsequent storyline at all. She and Melina never even had a match.
** The 'storyline' of Rosa being seen with a skipping rope never actually went anywhere. Although it sold her as a jobber who needed to improve, it looked like it was either leading to Rosa joining [=LayCool=] or having a face turn to feud with them. The latter seemed to happen, but was never paid off in any meaningful way.
** She spent the middle of 2011 in a stable with Tamina and Alicia Fox, bullying AJ Lee and Kaitlyn (who were being mentored by Natalya). After a series of tag matches, it was abruptly dropped when the Divas of Doom storyline started.

She was always the first one out during battle royals too.
