"I wanna have kids" - Mandy Rose addresses retirement from WWE
NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose recently addressed retirement from WWE and professional wrestling.
After participating in the 2015 Tough Enough competition, Rose signed a contract with the Stamford-based company. About two years later, she made her main roster debut.
After a four-year run on Monday Night RAW and SmackDown, God's Greatest Creation returned to NXT in mid-2021. She has since dominated the NXT women's division alongside her Toxic Attraction partners, Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin.
Despite arguably being in the best time of her career, Rose disclosed in a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight that she thinks about retirement because she wants to have kids with her fiance, former NXT star Tino Sabbatelli.
"I do [think about life after wrestling]. Yeah, I always do. I mean, I'm 32, I'm not young, I mean I'm young but, you know, I wanna have kids one day, so it's not like I'm gonna do this for, you know. And I would love to do it for however long I can do it, even after kids, you know, maybe. But I do try to think about that," she said. (32:52 - 33-13)
