"Double standards at that company are insane" - Wrestling world erupts after WWE surprisingly releases Mandy Rose

The wrestling world has erupted at the news of Mandy Rose reportedly being released by WWE.

Earlier today, the 32-year-old star lost her NXT Women's Championship to Roxanne Perez, bringing her 413-day title reign to an end. Hours later, Fightful reported the shocking news of her release.

The WWE Universe quickly expressed their displeasure in response, as a majority of the fans weren't happy with the news.

Check out the reactions from fans after Mandy Rose's reported release:

I’m so so so so angry. twitter.com/prowfinesse/st…
This is messed up man what the hell twitter.com/WrestleOps/sta…
@ProWFinesse Maybe, it's why Vince McMahon wants to return. https://t.co/UISynuqvLV
@ProWFinesse I’m stunned
yet paige got to keep her job twitter.com/ProWFinesse/st…
Lost her title then loses her job. Wrestling is cruel 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ twitter.com/prowfinesse/st…
The double standards at that company are insane. twitter.com/prowfinesse/st…
@SeanRossSapp Really hate this move. Who cares what she does behind closed doors? If some dudes wanna pay $50-$100 bucks for some Pg-13 stuff, then that’s their prerogative. This move to just cut bait and run is just so insane
@WrestleOps ????? So is Toxic Attraction dead??? https://t.co/R77TYFdk0G
Mandy Rose being released doesn’t feel right at all
You could've suspended Mandy for a month or whatever if it was against your policies but straight up releasing her is just not right.

Ruined my mood this news
Wait so Mandy Rose released for that, but Paige did way worse, And you have Ronda Rousey disrespecting the WWE 😂😂
This some BS‼️ twitter.com/prowfinesse/st…
👀 what happened oh wow twitter.com/prowfinesse/st…
What? twitter.com/ProWFinesse/st…
Shocking stuff here. But makes sense now why they rushed right into her match with Roxanne last night. twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/s…
There has to be more to this story.. right? RIGHT? ??? twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/s…
A slap on the wrist/suspension would’ve been fine but losing her whole job, that’s sad twitter.com/seanrosssapp/s…

Rose was a member of the sixth season of WWE's Tough Enough competition, which began airing back in 2015. The real-life Amanda Rose Saccomanno adopted her in-ring name during the season finale.

Shortly afterwards she joined the NXT brand, before moving up to the main roster as part of the Absolution faction consisting of Sonya Deville and Paige. During her time on the main roster, The Golden Goddess teamed up with Deville and also formed a tag team with Dana Brooke.

In 2021, Rose returned to NXT to form The Toxic Attraction faction with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne. She finally captured her first-ever championship by winning the NXT Women's Title at Halloween Havoc 2021.

Mandy Rose was regarded as one of the greatest NXT Women's Champions of all time

Mandy Rose's reign as the NXT Women's Champion lasted over a year. She held the title for 413 days and successfully defended it against several top stars, including Alba Fyre, Dakota Kai, and Indi Hartwell. She also beat Zoey Stark and Wendy Choo, among other names, to retain her NXT Women's Championship.

At the recent NXT Deadline show, Roxanne Perez, whom Mandy has beaten in the past, won the first-ever Women's Iron Survivor Challenge. That earned her another shot at the NXT Women's Championship.

Rose's second tenure on NXT was arguably the best run of her WWE career. Many believed that her loss to Roxanne Perez would lead to Toxic Attraction moving up to the main roster, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
