I saw recently that TNA released Rosita (Thea Trinidad). Like AJ, she is a tiny Hispanic woman who can also wrestle. Do you think they should bring her in as a 'sister' or 'cousin' as a sane counterpart? Or would that be too much of the same thing?

I wouldn't mind seeing her brought to the WWE, but not as a counterpart. Apart from being both small and Hispanic, they're nothing alike. There's no reason to group them together.

They'd think we would confuse them so I doubt they would hire them.

Hold on hold on hold on. Let's not get too caught up about the "Hispanic" thing. AJ and Rosita don't look even remotely similar to one another. Playing them off as cousins wouldn't make hardly any sense to the average fan.
AJ is technically Hispanic, yes, although most people don't know that's what she is, she doesn't have a Spanish accent, and she's decidedly much more "Spanish" than anything else. That is, AJ's about as "white" as the average Anglo-Saxon person. Whereas you look at Rosita, her appearance gives away her heritage pretty easily. Skin tone, facial features, etc. Someone who knows nothing about Rosita can look at her and guess that she's Latina.
Although that would serve Rosita really well. Her appearance would help working-class Spanish-speaking audiences connect to her much more easily, and that would probably help her get over. I think that'd be the best route to go with her anyway. Let her be herself and get her over as this average girl who doesn't fit in with anyone on the roster but is a way different story in terms of connecting with the crowd.

I didn't care for her matches in TNA and I can't remember how her promos are. So if she can't bring it in the ring then they'd hire her on her looks and to be quite honest she'd be on the lower end of the spectrum compared to the other Divas. Plus she's short. People complain about AJ being short, she's even shorter than AJ. But she's young so she can develop more in the ring and work to perfect promos. So maybe bring her in and let her spend some time on NXT.

Maybe, but have her in NXT for a while.

Should they bring her in? Absolutely. Good in the ring, solid on the mic and, even if she doesn't want to tell her story, she can play the PR game quite easily thanks to it.
Just off the top of my head, I'd pair her with Sin Cara after Rey turns to dust or they split them between SD and RAW. I'm thinking something along the lines of Lita and Essa Rios where she can do the talking for him and show off a bit before moving in to real matches and stuff.

Yes and ditch Rosa for Rosita and put her with Primo and Epico maybe they will get some attention and she doesn't botch standing up or slapping, or breathing

Yeah, they definitely should bring her in but not as AJ's relative. If you'd want to pick a diva to do that, Davina Rose looks a lot more like AJ than Rosita does (while Rosita looks more like Trish). With her size, back story, looks,and the progress she's already made as a performer, WWE would be quite frankly stupid not to consider her.

Sure, she'd be a good addition wrestling-wise and she's good looking enough for WWE to be interested.
I like the idea of her being a valet ala Lita/Essa Rios.

Just put her in Rosas spot. No-one will notice. I bet she knows actual Spanish unlike Rosa too. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
