WWE Hall Of Famer Weighs In On Mandy Rose Situation

WWE

Mandy Rose was reportedly fired from WWE because she “way, way, way crossed the line” in regard to her contract and her exclusive content.

It was a move that surprised many and generated, to say the least, a generous amount of online discussion.

WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze recently spoke about the Mandy Rose situation, saying to Callum MacInnes of Ringsiders podcast:

“To each their own.

“Power to her. Whatever she wants to do she should be able to do.”

Madusa would go on to weigh up the issue of external activities and company contracts by explaining:

“However, if it’s in your contract, then you should know better now to do other things.

“Power to women who want to carry on and do their own stuff, but I feel when you’re going into a contract you should know and your lawyer should know what the contract is.

“So, that’s understandable, I would definitely side with WWE on that.

“If she can’t do it, she can’t do it.

“If you shouldn’t be doing it, you wouldn’t be fired.”

Madusa did end on a more upbeat note for Mandy Rose, concluding:

“But, I’m also a Mandy fan.

“She’s so damned gorgeous, I hate her.

“I don’t hate her.”

WWE believed they had “absolutely no choice” but to release her and she “way, way, way crossed the line” of what was acceptable.

She dropped the NXT Women’s Championship to Roxanne Perez on December 13 – after reigning dominantly for 413 days – and was let go by the company the following morning.

As previously reported by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the title change was a rushed decision made by Shawn Michaels as soon as he found out earlier that day about the type of content Mandy Rose had been posting on her exclusive content page.

It’s worth reiterating a misconception – WWE didn’t fire Rose just because of the fact she had a subscription service, but reportedly more so because of the nature of what she was posting on there, which, per Meltzer, the company thought ‘way, way, way crossed the line’.

Fightful Select previously reported that Rose had indicated to people in recent months that she did realize what she was posting could get her in trouble with WWE management.

Rose’s reign with the NXT Women’s Title clocked in at 413 days, so it was just four days off being the second-longest NXT Women’s Title reign of all time behind Asuka’s.

Had the title change taken place on either January 10 or February 4 as originally planned, Rose’s reign would have overtaken Shayna Baszler to hit that second place milestone.

Jacy Jayne recently spoke about the loss of Mandy Rose to Toxic Attraction.
