Rosa Mendes recently spoke with Harry Kettle and sportskeeda.com, here are the highlights…

On Life After Wrestling: It’s been so different. Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience that I have ever had, watching my daughter grow into this little intelligent, wonderful, and caring human being has made me feel like I’m doing a really good job as a mom, Totally Fit Mama has been doing so well, we are launching our recipe book very soon. I miss the Travel, can you believe that? I never thought I would ever say that, but most of all I miss the fans.

On Being on Total Divas: I know this sounds weird, but I love being in the public eye, and I don’t mind the fans knowing my innermost personal feelings. They have watched me evolve and grow on tv. I get emails from people, telling me how much I have inspired them, especially from Moms. That’s what motivated me to start my lifestyle brand. I have helped so many Moms learn about healthy eating and my at home workout app has helped so many women get back into shape. I wouldn’t have had that platform without Total Divas and WWE.

On How She’s Changed Since Becoming a Mother: I don’t take sh*t from anyone, sorry I had to swear. If people are rude and disrespectful, I call them out on the spot. Whether it’s a public place or at a dinner party. I work too hard and have learned that voicing my opinion in the classiest way possible, with a smile, teaches people how you expect to be treated. I would have let things slide in the past, but now that I’m a mother, I’d like Jordan to be strong enough to defend herself if people mistreat her or disrespect her in any way.

On Having a Plan B For After Wrestling: I’ll be honest with you, there’s not much time in the life of a WWE superstar to have a plan B, but we all have hobbies, mine was cooking so I ran with it. All of the wrestlers I know have some sort of interesting hobby or talent outside the ring, so I would say make your hobby into a brand and make it your plan B.
