5 Startling Signs That Prove Mandy Rose Is Set For A Huge Push on SmackDown Live

It's no secret that longtime model and fitness fanatic Amanda Saccomanno aka SmackDown Live Superstar, Mandy Rose, is one of the most polarizing figures in the WWE today.

Despite failing to capture a world title in the WWE, Rose happens to be one of the most popular personalities on the company's reality shows, and with that in mind, it has been somewhat surprising that the WWE hasn't capitalized on the buzz that this 27-year-old has been generating in the world of sports and entertainment.

Well, that was until this week's episode of SmackDown Live (November 6th, 2018) -- as Rose came down to the ring, and proceeded to cut what many are calling the most savage promo of her entire career.

Rose took shots at her former Absolution teammates Paige and Sonya Deville, besides also trashing Asuka, Carmella and Naomi. However, the fact that the company finally allowed Rose a decent amount of promo time on live television, is one of the many signs of what the future holds for The Golden Goddess.

And in the aftermath of the aforementioned episode of SmackDown Live, today, we look at a few incredibly startling signs that prove Mandy Rose is all set for a huge push on the blue brand!

#5 Mandy Rose gets decent promo time, with a well-written promo

Mandy Rose legitimately surprised a lot of her detractors with her promo on SmackDown Live

As a longtime fan of "The Irish Lass Kicker" Becky Lynch, I have always been of the view that none of the current female Superstars on SmackDown Live, except maybe Carmella, can compete with Lynch in the promo department. Well, I have to confess that Mandy Rose proved me wrong this past Tuesday night!

Let's be honest, guys, did any of us really know that the Superstar referred to by WWE color commentator Corey Graves as "God's Greatest Creation" -- a woman who has for several months acted mainly as a manager for her friend Sonya Deville -- could cut such a fiery promo?

I'd like to add a very important point here, that SmackDown Live, despite being called "The B Show" by Stephanie McMahon and everyone else on RAW, is still a very important, long-running series on TV!

And considering that, the fact that the WWE had Rose come out and cut a long promo (which was well-written!) against several other female Superstars, just goes to show that the WWE has finally pulled the trigger with her character, and have big plans for her in the days to come...

#4 SmackDown Live is giving Mandy Rose the spotlight ahead of Survivor Series

Mandy Rose's lengthy promo segment on SmackDown Live foreshadowed her upcoming success

For those new to professional wrestling and the WWE, I'd like to note how important Survivor Series season is in the WWE Universe. The Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series pay-per-views are considered to be the "Big 4" PPVs in the company, which take place every year.

Furthermore, this year's Survivor Series PPV is set to take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on November 18th -- less than a couple of weeks away! Now, getting back to SmackDown Live, this week's episode featured a notable women's match between the blue brand's reigning "Champ" Becky Lynch and "NXT's Twisted Sister" Nikki Cross.

While Lynch vs. Cross was an awesome match, the other top female talent on the blue brand i.e. Charlotte Flair was absent from the show. And instead of Charlotte, it was Mandy Rose who was the main attraction of the other women's segment on this week's episode of SmackDown Live.

The fact that WWE is affording Rose such a great amount of time in the spotlight, especially when we are this close to Survivor Series, is a significant hint that The Golden Goddess' future truly is golden (pun intended!)...

#3 Mandy Rose's slow-burning rivalry with her former Absolution teammates

Thick as thieves before WrestleMania 34, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have had several on-screen differences after 'Mania

Frankly speaking, out of every point we've discussed until now, this one may be the most underappreciated aspect of Mandy Rose's booking on SmackDown Live. The problem is that most of us, the hardcore fans, have been so busy criticizing Rose's wrestling skills, that we failed to see what the WWE has been doing with her character since her Absolution team broke up.

It was on the 20th of November, 2017, that Paige returned from her lengthy injury hiatus and announced herself, Rose and Sonya Deville as the newest team on RAW -- Absolution. Well, Absolution came to an end in April of this year, after Paige announced her retirement from in-ring competition due to an unfortunate career-ending neck injury.

It was also in the same month that Paige told Rose and Deville in a backstage segment on SmackDown Live that "Absolution is dead". Since then, Rose went to on win her first official match on SmackDown Live (May 8th, 2018) against none other than current SmackDown Women's Champion, Becky Lynch!

Besides, Rose eliminated her longtime friend Sonya Deville from the Women's Battle Royal at WWE Evolution on October 28th; and although Deville and Paige seem to be positive with Rose, The Golden Goddess has time and again engaged in villainous attacks -- both verbally and physically -- against Paige and Deville...That brings me to...

#2 Babyface Carmella takes a backseat, and Mandy Rose becomes the top 'cowardly heel' on SmackDown Live

Carmella has taken a backseat on SmackDown Live, going from champion to a dance break connoisseur

Alright, this may be one of the most important things to understand in Mandy Rose's push on SmackDown Live. Mark my words, although Rose will be pushed as a top female heel on the blue brand, she will be booked as a cowardly heel and not a reckless, fighting heel like Becky Lynch currently is!

Before Rose's current push -- before Lynch turned heel at SummerSlam -- the top female heel on SmackDown Live was undoubtedly Carmella. That said, Carmella was a way different villain than Lynch now is -- as The Princess of Staten Island would run away from fights, whereas The Irish Lass Kicker gets in her opponent's face, destroys them and just like her countryman MMA megastar, Conor McGregor, Lynch apologizes "to absolutely nobody".

Now, since Rose is being pushed as a heel, fans can expect the WWE to present her more like a Carmella-esque cowardly heel, rather than an in-your-face-type Becky Lynch heel on SmackDown Live...

#1 WWE has been highlighting the fact that Mandy Rose is indeed an absolute beast in the gym

Blessed with incredibly strong legs, Mandy Rose is one of the most explosive athletes in the WWE Women's Division today

Firstly, I'd like to assert that, having been a WWE fan since childhood, I happen to follow a wide variety of WWE-related programming including Total Divas, WWE Ride Along and of course the usual suspects namely Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live.

Mandy Rose, apart from possessing the looks of a bona fide Superstar, is also a qualified bodybuilder and highly-experienced fitness competitor. In case you are yet to discover her on social media, I'd strongly suggest that you follow her official social media profiles since she regularly posts her insanely-challenging workout routines for the WWE Universe to see.

With regard to the same, the WWE initially presented Rose as a ho-hum in-ring wrestler on RAW last year, and it wasn't until she was drafted to SmackDown Live this April, that Rose's wrestling skills truly started to shine through.

I have been privileged to watch each and every one of Rose's SmackDown Live appearance as well as PPV matches on the WWE Network, and have to say that the WWE has lately been booking Rose in a manner that makes her on-screen character appear incredibly strong despite her recent losses.

Mandy Rose is an absolute beast in the gym, and with her amazing promo skills now having been revealed to the world on SmackDown Live, the sky is the limit for God's Greatest Creation.
