WWE Star Believes Mandy Rose Made The ‘Wrong Decision’

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer and NXT commentator Booker T has spoken about the huge FanTime earnings Mandy Rose has made since leaving the company.

Mandy Rose was abruptly released by WWE on December 14, soon after the company found out about the type of content she was posting on her page.

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

As previously reported, there was a rush to get the NXT Women’s Championship off of her on December 13, with Rose released the following morning.

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.

It has since been revealed that Rose has made more than $1 million on FanTime since committing herself fully to her account.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T offered his two cents about Rose’s recent career move:

“A million dollars ain’t gonna take care of you for a solid year if you’re living large.

“I think [Rose launching a FanTime account] was the wrong decision, and I stand by that because I feel that Mandy Rose’s talent was so much more than her beauty.”

Booker also said that he believes Rose could have made more money if she stayed with WWE, and allowed the company to market her.
