Mandy Rose Contemplates A Return To Bodybuilding After A Decade Away
Mandy Rose could be returning to bodybuilding in the near future.
The former NXT Women’s Champion was released from the WWE in late 2022. She was let due to the adult nature of her online content, on the FanTime website. This has been compared to OnlyFans, and did not line up with the WWE’s child-friendly image.
She had just come off a 413-day reign as the NXT Women’s Champion, so it came as a huge shock to the fans. This was the last time she has appeared in a wrestling ring, although she could be competing in a different sport soon enough.
Mandy Rose is considering moving back to bodybuilding, according to social media. She posted a series of bikini snaps on Instagram, to see if she “still got it”.
The former Tough Enough competitor asked in the caption if she should “step back on the stage”, noting it was ten years since she last competed in bodybuilding competitions.
Mandy Rose Is Honored With Tiffany Stratton Comparisons
Mandy Rose spoke to the Power Alphas Podcast (via Fightful), where she talked about people comparing her with Tiffany Stratton. She said she was honored to be compared to the WWE star. Mandy Rose also noted that she was blown away when she first saw Stratton in the ring.
“I’ve seen a lot of Mandy vs. Tiffany Stratton. People like to compare Tiffany Stratton to me, she gets that a lot. She just got asked how she feels about those comparisons. I thought it was really sweet. She said nice things about me and that it’s an honor to be compared to someone like me, which is cool. I’m very honored as well.”
“I retweeted something that was ‘real recognizes real.’ I’m always about putting other people over when they deserve it. I think she’s an incredible talent and has a really bright future. I’ve always said that, from he first match at NXT. I was really blown away. I was like, ‘Damn.’ She knew what she was doing, which is crazy because at that time, when I was in NXT, I don’t know if I could have a match like that.”
