Milena's first appearance in the WWE was participating in the 2006 Diva Search. Despite finishing fourth WWE decided to hire her along with several eliminated contestants. She was assigned to train in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).[1]

Early life and modeling career

Roucka grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where she was mostly raised by a single father and her sister, Chantal. Since, she was without a mother, Milena grew up being a tomboy. Roucka studied Business at the University of British Columbia, but dropped out to pursue a career in modeling.[2] In 2004, she won the "Piel Dorada", one of the biggest Latin American based modelling contests, becoming the first North American to win.[2] She also acted in commercials for "Trident" and "Lux soap".[2]
