Former WWE star Mandy Rose has disclosed why she feels the promotion is being hypocritical when it comes to her situation. The former NXT Women's Champion was released by the promotion in December 2022.
Mandy Rose was released by WWE after she started posting on a premium service for fans. She was defeated by Roxanne Perez on the December 13, 2022 edition of NXT to end her reign as NXT Women's Champion. The following day, she was released due to the content she was publishing on her FanTime account.
Speaking on her Power Alphas podcast, Rose stated she was disappointed that the company did not include her while celebrating women's wrestling. She was critical of the company for not mentioning her name on television but still making a profit from selling merchandise related to her.
"I also think it's kind of funny and hypocritical where like you can't get recognized on TV. Let's say, you know, including my name in that long list of superstars but yet you can still sell my merch and action figures for the rest of my life. That part really gets me a little bit in a sense. Like, you're gonna be able to sell my stuff for the rest of my life but yet you can't even showcase, like, or say my name?" she said.
