Mandy Rose has stayed off the wrestling radar since getting released from WWE in December 2022. However, the former NXT Women's Champion maintains a close relationship with many of her former colleagues and was recently spotted with Sonya Deville and Liv Morgan.
Rose was a part of the Stamford-based promotion for nearly seven years. Her best run with the company came in 2021 when she returned to NXT after a dismal run on the main roster. Mandy formed the Toxic Attraction stable on WWE's third brand and even won the NXT Women's Championship, holding it for 413 days. However, she was released from her contract in December 2022.
The 33-year-old still shares a close relationship with many of her former co-workers, especially Sonya Deville, as the two were a tag team for a long time. The duo was recently spotted together at an event where Liv Morgan and Deville's girlfriend, Toni Cassano, were also present.
Both Sonya Deville and Liv Morgan are currently out of action. While the former is expected to be sidelined for a long time due to an ACL injury, Liv is expected to be back soon and could reportedly be one of the surprise entrants in the Women's Royal Rumble match.
Mandy Rose has no itch to get back into wrestling after WWE release
Mandy Rose has been doing well with her outside-the-ring ventures since getting released from WWE.
It seems like the former NXT Women's Championship is not longing for a return to the squared circle, as she revealed during a recent interview that while she misses certain aspects of pro wrestling, she does not have the itch to return there.
"I'm actually a little surprised. I thought that I would get [the itch]... coming up on almost a year. But I really haven't," Rose said. But I do miss certain things — don't get me wrong. I miss the camaraderie. I miss my friends over there. I speak to them a lot. I miss that adrenaline rush, of course, but the itch to get out there and wrestle right now? I don't have it right now, I have to be honest." [H/T WrestlingInc]
Mandy Rose started her pro wrestling career with Tough Enough 2015, after which she signed a contract with WWE. While the star did not enjoy much success on the main roster, she flourished during her second stint on NXT and held the NXT Women's Championship for 413 days.
