According to the British media "Daily Star" reported on January 10, on the same day, former WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) women's champion Mandy Rose (Mandy Rose) first talked about her experience of being forced to leave WWE on "The Tamron Hall Show" and revealed the lessons she learned from it.
Originally known as Amanda Rose Saccomanno, Ross finished second in the WWE in 2015, trailing only co-champions Sarah Lee and Josh Bredell. In 2016, the wrestler made his NXT (American Wrestling Tournament) debut and defeated Raquel Gonzalez in Halloween Destruction in 2021, followed by Meiko Satomura and Blair Davenport in the World Collision in September of that year, winning two titles at the NXT Women's Championship and the NXT UK Championship.
Professional Wrestling Illustrated recently ranked Ross 21st in the top 150 women's singles players, a testament to her influence. Outside of the ring, Ross was the 2013 World Bodybuilding & Fashion Boston Championship and the 2014 World Bodybuilding & Fashion Pro World Champion.
However, on December 14 last year, Ross was fired by WWE for taking playful photos on a platform, even though she had already held the NXT Women's Championship title for 413 days and was the third reigning champion of the NXT Women's Championship.
Having lost the championship belt that he had held for more than a year, Ross was certainly unwilling. The beauty told host Hall, "I'm so sad that no one wants to get a call saying you've been fired. What makes me even more disappointed is what I've given to the industry in the last year and a half. Ross said that while professional wrestling has a script, that doesn't mean the physical movements in the ring are fake, and she puts all her effort into it.
The former wrestler continued, "To be honest, losing the title was a blow to me. I lost my goal, I felt lost, I felt confused. But at the same time, Rose also said that she could not say that she was wronged, because she was very grateful for everything WWE gave her. She added, "I love everything I do at WWE and I love what this platform gives me, so I'm forever grateful for it." ”
According to a source, WWE ultimately decided to fire Rose because they believed that Ross's actions went beyond the scope of her agreement with WWE. Before being fired by WWE, Ross had also confidently created the "toxic attraction" combination with two young wrestlers, Jess Jayne and Gigi Dolin, which was very important and meaningful to her.
But today, Rose can't continue to realize her dream. She had also planned to defend her belt on the 2023 New Year's themed show, but already lost to Roxanne Perez on the NXT show on December 13 last year. When asked by Hall if he would return to WWE, Ross said he would not rule out this possibility, but only if he negotiated with WWE. She explained, "That's my past, but never say never. I don't know what the future holds. I don't look forward and I don't look back. ”
Having said that, Ross earns £1 million (about 8.2 million yuan) a month by taking playful photos, which is much more than she earns in a month in wrestling, and even Hall said she would definitely not give up such a high income.
Ross agreed, saying that if she wanted to wrestle again, she would have to negotiate. However, Ross's popularity is inseparable from the fame she has accumulated in WWE, but without WWE's support in the future, it is difficult to say whether she can continue to maintain her influence, and it will take time to prove.
