Mandy Rose Thinks Some WWE Women Might Be Jealous of Her Post-WWE Success
Mandy Rose isn’t afraid to speak her mind about how her WWE exit impacted her relationships—and why some female wrestlers might not be too happy to see her flourishing outside the ring.
In a candid interview with CardPlayer.com, the former NXT Women’s Champion revealed that while she’s maintained friendships with some WWE stars, others might be feeling a little envious of her success since her departure.
Rose’s impressive 413-day reign as champion came to an abrupt halt in December 2022 following her controversial release. She acknowledged that despite never claiming to be the best in-ring technician, she possessed the undeniable “it factor” that turned heads and drew attention.
“It was upsetting that my 413-day reign ended like that because I knew I would become bigger and eventually be on the main roster,” Rose shared. “I was never the best wrestler in the world—never will be—but when it comes to having that ‘it’ factor and being able to walk into a room and get people’s attention, I had that. People love to hate me.”
Mandy Rose said that she’s still close with Sonya Deville, but with others, she’s uncertain.
“I’m still very close with Sonya Deville, but some of the other girls—I feel like if I saw them today, I don’t know how they feel about the situation. I don’t know if they’re envious or jealous—but I feel like there could be some chitter-chatter back there,” she admitted.
Despite the speculation, Mandy isn’t fazed.
“I’m sure they may make comments about stuff—but I don’t give a s**t, because I’m living my best life, setting myself up for the future, and I don’t have to take bumps anymore.”
While she’s made her peace with WWE, she’s clear that she’s not losing sleep over who might be watching from the sidelines.
