Mandy Rose certainly reached WWE's main roster in one of the most unconventional ways possible. As mentioned in the previous slide, Mandy Rose wasn't a huge wrestling fan, but she signed a developmental contract with WWE despite finishing in second place during the 2015 edition of Tough Enough.

Perhaps the officials were so impressed by her, that they decided she was ready for the main roster only after wrestling twice on NXT TV in a live capacity.

Rose made her first televised appearance on WWE NXT when she competed in a six-woman tag team match along with Sonya Deville, and Alexa Bliss, in which they were defeated by Carmella, Liv Morgan, and Nikki Cross.

In her second and last televised appearance on NXT, Mandy Rose was defeated by Ember Moon during September 2017.

Two months later, Mandy Rose would join Sonya Deville and Paige in forming a trio on WWE RAW called 'Absolution'. In the long run, Sonya and Mandy remained tag team stars until their infamous breakup in 2020.
