5 superstars who had a modeling career before WWE

#4 Mandy Rose modeled before she joined WWE

Before Mandy Rose entered WWE Tough Enough in 2015, God's Greatest Creation was a very successful fitness model. She was crowned the 2014 World Beauty Fitness & Fashion Bikini Champion. The now-NXT 2.0 star has also featured on many magazine covers.

Rose spoke with Entrepreneur about how modeling helped her get noticed by WWE:

"When I was crowned the 2014 WBFF Bikini World Champion, that helped in getting some attention. I had a small supplement sponsorship and a decent social media following, which I ran all myself. It was soon after that I received a call from a WWE recruiter, who asked if I would be interested in trying out for their reality show, Tough Enough. At that moment, I knew I could become a WWE superstar, but I was a little skeptical about getting there through a reality competition. After I was picked for the show, we filmed for about 10 weeks and I made it to the finals, but I came up short. However, that same night I was offered a WWE contract and a spot on their really series, Total Divas, on E! which was such an amazing opportunity for me," Mandy Rose said. (h/t Entrepreneur)

Mandy's career has continued to skyrocket, and she even has her own fitness app and donut shop. She can be seen regularly posting about her ventures on her social media channels.
