Mandy Rose makes first comments since WWE release (2024)

Mandy Rose has broken her silence over her shock release from WWE.

Rose was released by WWE on Wednesday (December 14), just one day after her 413-day reign as NXT Women's Champion was ended by Roxanne Perez.

Writing on her Mandy Sacs FanTime page, she told fans: "Hey guys, thank you for all the messages.

"I am overwhelmed with all the love and support from you guys. And don’t worry the page is still up! ;)"

The news of Rose's release was first reported by FightFul.com, with the outlet revealing: "WWE officials felt they were put in a tough position based on the content she was posting on her FanTime page.

"They felt like it was outside of the parameters of her WWE deal."

While WWE has not released an official statement on Rose, Digital Spy confirmed that she had been released from the company.

Rose was a contestant in the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough in 2015, placing second behind Sara Lee and Josh Bredl. After signing with WWE, Rose appeared on the fifth season of Total Divas which chronicled her first few months in the company.

In 2019, Rose began a romantic storyline with Otis which saw him help her during her matches before he asked her out on a date on Valentine's Day. That was sabotaged by Dolph Ziggler.

At WrestleMania 36, Otis defeated Ziggler and shared a memorable kiss with Rose after his victory. Rose then went on to feud with Sonya Deville, culminating in a Loser Leaves WWE match at SummerSlam 2020 which Rose won.

Rose returned to WWE NXT in July 2021, dying her hair dark and forming the group Toxic Attraction with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne. That October, she captured the NXT Women's Championship at Halloween Havoc.

Rose would go on to hold the NXT Women's Championship for 413 days before she lost the title to Roxanne Perez on December 13, 2022.
