Mandy Rose was released from WWE back in December 2022 after she lost the NXT Women’s Championship to Roxanne Perez. The release was due to some risque content she was sharing on her FanTime website.
While speaking on her “Power Alphas” podcast, Rose commented on her experience at the recent BLP Wrestler’s Combine and whether she’d be interested in a return to in-ring action.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the BLP experience: “I was asked to do a little run in. I was iffy about this. I have yet to make an in-ring appearance. I decided to do it. It was literally two seconds. I was feeling under the weather. As I ran out to give my knee to Shazza, my other leg gave out when I jumped. I still hit the knee, you wouldn’t even be able to tell. I jumped and my leg gave out. The back of my knee has been bothering me. I had a MRI and nothing came up alarming. It’s strange. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s weird movements. It happened in the gym one day, and then it goes away. It’s not this crazy tear or anything scary, but it happened when I went to give my knee for the first time in two years. Mind you, the knee still looks good, because I’m that b*tch. I kind of fall and rolled out of the ring. I don’t know if it’s a testament of ‘your time is done in the ring, maybe you should hang up the boots.’ Not saying that’s what it is, but it scared me a little bit. On the flip side, it did bring me back. obviously, I miss wrestling. I miss the camaraderie, the fans, and the adrenaline rush.”
On fan support: “Whether or not I am going to be getting back (in the ring), I still don’t have an answer right now. Did I get the itch? I do have the itch a little bit. I have a lot of things going on right now. For me, it has to make sense. Not just financial sense. It has to make sense in the aspect of is this really what I want to do? Do I really want to put my body through it all physically? The traveling. I do love my life right now. I love being in New York with my family and going to Florida. I have a wedding coming up. Am I going to have kids right away? There are so many things going through my mind. On the flip side, I’m young, am I totally done yet? I know there is unfinished business for me. I just don’t know if right now is the time to get in there and get back to that unfinished business or do I wait. Are people going to forget about me? I always worry about that.”
