Mandy Rose Feels "A Little Bit Erased" From WWE

Why this matters: This situation highlights the ongoing tension between wrestlers' personal branding opportunities outside WWE and company policies. It also raises questions about how WWE acknowledges the history of former stars, especially those who leave under controversial circumstances.

Mandy Rose's WWE departure came swiftly in December 2022. At the time, she was the reigning NXT Women's Champion, having held the title for 413 days. Her final match saw her drop the championship to Roxanne Perez. The release stemmed from WWE discovering her FanTime account, a platform similar to OnlyFans, which she was promoting via her social media.

In recent interviews, notably on *Busted Open Radio*, Rose shared her feelings about the aftermath. She acknowledged the financial windfall her FanTime account provided but also expressed a sense of being sidelined from WWE's history. "I feel like I'm a little bit erased in certain scenarios," she stated, though she noted a recent NXT promo package mentioning the evolution of women's wrestling did offer a "glimmer of hope" by acknowledging the era she was part of.

The debate around the "double champion" status arose when Stephanie Vaquer began defending both the NWA World Women's Championship and the CMLL World Women's Championship in NXT. Rose countered claims that Vaquer was the *first* women's double champion in NXT history by referencing her unification match where she held both the NXT Women's and NXT UK Women's titles. While fans argued the semantics (unification vs. holding two separate, defended titles), Rose maintained, "Call it what you want... I still held two titles at the same time."

Regarding a potential return to the ring, Rose remains open but cautious. "I've never hung up the boots and said I'm done," she confirmed, but added, "I don't know if they would accept me back. I don't know how they feel... Are they really offended with what happened? I don't know." She currently feels she is doing well outside of wrestling and questions if a return makes sense right now, but the possibility remains.

Why was Mandy Rose released from WWE?
