Female WWE Superstar rejects claims of Nikki Bella homage at recent show

WWE Superstar Mandy Rose has taken to social media to seemingly address comparisons between herself and Nikki Bella.

On the latest edition of WWE's developmental show, Rose retained her NXT Women's Championship over Alba Fyre after interference from the returning Isla Dawn. This victory puts the Toxic Attraction leader at over 384 days as NXT Women's Champion. She is the second-longest reigning champion in NXT history behind Asuka, who held the title for over 500 days.

On last night's NXT, Mandy Rose appeared in an attire similar to Nikki Bella's 'Fearless' ring gear. This led many to make comparisons between the two, and Mandy has now addressed the rumors. Taking to Twitter, she seemed frustrated, noting that she was simply wearing her own merch.

"Damnnn y’all can’t even let a girl wear her own merch hat…" she wrote
