Some wrestlers try their best to remain active as long as they can, while others decide to hang up their boots when the time is right. A few years ago former WWE Superstar Rosa Mendes retired from in-ring competition to focus on being a mother, but she’s not done yet.
Mendes recently appeared on the Pancakes and Powerslams podcast, and she opened up about her retirement saying that she has some regrets when it comes to her career.
Rosa recently started training again, and she went into detail about what motivated her to return to the ring.
“I feel like when I retired, I had a little bit of regret that I wasn’t in the ring enough. Actually, a lot of regret. My father was in the ICU recently, and on his death bed and he was on life support. And, at the same time, Bobby [Schubenski] had a separation. So, it was one of those moments in my life where I looked at my father, and he was dying, and I thought to myself, I don’t ever want to have any regrets. I don’t ever want to be in a position where I’m laying here just like my dad, and that I never fulfilled my dream of having a five-star match in the ring. And I’ve never felt that. And I have a daughter now, and I never want her to have any regrets.”
“So, I’m looking at her and raising her, and how could I tell her to do something that I didn’t do? How could I tell her, ‘Follow your dreams, do everything you’ve ever wanted and have no fear,’ when I didn’t do that in my life. So basically… that kind of snapped in my head, and I was like, I have to go back in the ring. I have to.”
Stay tuned for updates regarding Rosa’s return to the ring.
