Mandy Rose Questions WWE Return: ‘I Don’t Know’

Former WWE NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose recently discussed the possibility of returning to the promotion. In 2022, Rose dominated WWE NXT, enjoying one of the best runs of her career as she held the NXT Women’s Championship for 413 days.

However, in December of that year, she lost the title to Roxanne Perez on WWE NXT. The next day, WWE released her, reportedly due to her FanTime content, shocking fans. Now, after spending over two years away, Rose has addressed a potential comeback. However, she doubts whether WWE would accept her, feeling as though the promotion has erased her from its history.

Stephanie Vaquer won the NXT Women’s Championship by defeating Giulia, making her a double champion. After her win, WWE called her the first woman to hold two titles in NXT. However, fans pointed out that Rose had already done this by unifying the NXT and NXT UK Women’s Championships. Rose reacted by challenging WWE’s claim.

In an interview on Busted Open Radio, Mandy Rose addressed whether it surprised her that she is no longer referenced on WWE TV. She stated:

“It does. I really don’t know what it was. Circumstantial, and there have been a lot of people in the company where things happen and time goes on and they come back. It’s a business, at the end of the day, and they look at it like a business. I have no idea what it is. I thought maybe I’d be back too, wrestling in general.

The cards right now for me, I’m doing really well, and does it make sense for me to go back to wrestling? I don’t know, and that’s something I’m still unsure about. I’ve never hung up the boots and said I’m done. I’m still young. If it made sense, I would definitely consider it.”

Mandy Rose expresses her feeling about WWE return

In the same interview, Mandy Rose discussed the possibility of appearing in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. She admitted she’s unsure if WWE would welcome her back. She stated:

“I don’t know if they would accept me back. I don’t know how they feel. I’ve never had a conversation. Are they really offended with what happened? I don’t know. Maybe they just don’t want to be associated with me anymore, in a sense, because I feel like I’m a little bit erased in certain scenarios.

NXT did mention me not too long ago. It was a promo package and they were talking about the women in general evolving, which was cool. That gave me a little glimmer of hope, ‘Oh, I got a little recognition there.’ I feel like I am a little erased from their Rolodex of superstars. I could be wrong.” [H/T: Fightful]

With Rose open to the possibility of a return if the right opportunity arises, it will be interesting to see if WWE is willing to bring her back. Only time will tell.
