After a 413-day run as NXT women’s champion, Mandy Rose is no longer with WWE. As previously noted, Mandy Rose was reportedly released by WWE one day after dropping the NXT women’s title to Roxanne Perez.
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, the release is due to the content of Mandy Rose’s FanTime page, which featured risqué photos and videos of Rose. “WWE officials felt they were put in a tough position based on the content she was posting on her FanTime page,” explained Sapp. “They felt like it was outside of the parameters of her WWE deal.”
WWE has made it a point to tone down their programming from the Attitude era that made them so widely popular with fans. While the company once collaborated with Playboy and Girls Gone Wild, and not to mention racy storylines, the company has been mostly PG 13 for the past 15 years.
Rose began her WWE career in 2015 after being on the reality show Tough Enough and then made her debut on the main roster in 2017. She would wrestle on both SmackDown and Raw until she switched to the developmental NXT brand in 2021.
In response to her firing, her fiancé Tino Sabbatelli showed support for his fiancée by posting a photo of Rose as NXT champion on Instagram with the caption “The baddest b—h that Game has EVER seen. Period.”
Back in 2020, WWE made it clear to talents that they ran the risk of termination if they participated in third-party business ventures such as Cameo or Twitch. Vince McMahon, who has since stepped down from leading the company, wrote in a letter to talents that they must cease relationships with third-party businesses within 30 days, or be subject to “fines, suspension, or termination at WWE’s discretion.”
The 32-year-old Rose hasn’t stated what her next mode of business will be but she has zero plans of stopping her subscription service where she chares $40 a month.
