Rosa Mendes Reportedly Entered Rehab During Her Time Off

According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE Diva Rosa Mendes, who returned to WWE TV on Raw this Monday following an absence from the company since April, entered a rehab facility during her time off WWE TV.

WrestleZone was the first to exclusively report back on April 21st of this year that Mendes was sent home from WWE's European tour for excessive partying, and WWE officials had decided it was enough.

The Observer report also notes many people within WWE believe that Mendes made up a story last year where her then-fiancé, former WWE talent Jackson Andrews, real name Steven Slocum, had physically abused her. This story coupled with her overseas partying ordeal, left her WWE employment status on very thin ice.
