Rosa Mendes Says She Wants To Win The Divas Title, NXT Diva Returns From Injury, Brock Lesnar

- While speaking to AfterBuzz to promote the upcoming season of Total Divas on E!, Rosa admitted that she has never won a match on television (by pinfall to secure a victory).

"I haven't won a match on TV, ever," Rosa said.

"Ever?!" the interviewer responds.

"Ever!" Rosa confirms. "I won by disqualification once and I haven't won a match."

Since being cast on Total Divas, Rosa has been gaining more ring time and is now hopeful that she can get a run with the Divas Championship.

She continues, "I've always been a valet and a manager, so now that I'm in the ring more, I'm practicing more and getting better. People are going to be able to see that side of me where I'm working really hard to fulfill my goals and hopefully have a run with the Divas title."

Rosa's lone televised victory took place on the February 25, 2011 edition of SmackDown when she defeated Layla via disqualification. Layla's then partner-in-crime, Michelle McCool, attacked Rosa after Layla shoved her into The Undertaker's wife. Rosa did pin Cameron last year at the Survivor Series in a Divas Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match, but did not secure the victory. She has been on the winning side of multiple tag team matches over the course of six-year career, but has never secured a pinfall victory.

Elsewhere in the interview, Rosa discusses her training regime and what fans can expect on the upcoming season of Total Divas, premiering Sunday, Sept. 7 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on E!.

- WWE developmental wrestler Kendall Skye returned to action at Thursday's NXT live event in Largo, Florida, after being sidelined since June due to a broken wrist. Teaming with Carmella, the two lost to Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch via disqualification.

For those unfamiliar with Skye, she was a former Hollywood stuntwoman before joining WWE early last year. The official WWE website brands her as both a wrestler and ring announcer on WWE NXT. She has appeared on a few WWE NXT broadcasts as a ring announcer, but has yet to debut as a wrestler – her matches have been limited to non-televised events.

- Brock Lesnar briefly trended as the No. 1 topic on Yahoo.com today.
