"Rehire Mandy Rose" trends on Twitter as angry WWE fans demand justice for the former champion
WWE fans are furious over the company's decision to fire Mandy Rose earlier this week and have taken to Twitter to make their frustrations known.
In a shocking turn of events, Rose was unceremoniously released by the company yesterday. She was the NXT Women's Champion for over 400 days before dropping her gold to Roxanne Perez on Tuesday, which led to many speculating about her potential return to the main roster.
However, the news soon broke that she had been quietly let go due to her other work not being within the parameters of WWE. Company officials were seemingly in a "difficult position" regarding the issue and ultimately decided to fire the former champion.
The news didn't sit well with fans, who thought the company should have handled the situation differently. Soon, "#rehireMandyRose" became a top trend in sports, with viewers noting how hard she worked to "carry NXT 2.0" and reinvent herself on television for a developmental brand.
Below are a few of the most compelling posts demanding one of the most dominant champions in NXT history be rehired:
