#3 Best/Worst: What is Mandy Rose doing in NXT?

Mandy Rose's return to NXT certainly was a surprise. The WWE RAW Superstar showed up on the ramp during Sarray's match with Gigi Dolin, and was impressed with the performance by the Japanese star.

This seems like a good move for Rose, who was barely going anywhere significant on the red brand. The one criticism over her abrupt move to NXT would be the fact that she was in the middle of a Championship program on RAW.

NXT probably could have waited a week for Rose and Brooke to face Natalya and Tamina for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, before calling her up if that is the case. But it might be understandable, considering the exits from the black-and-gold brand. Anyway, Mandy Rose's appearance has sparked quite some intrigue.

This is the most interesting thing she has done since defeating Sonya Deville at last year's SummerSlam, right at the start of the ThunderDome Era. Proving herself as a strong character on WWE's main roster, Rose has every chance of being a success back on NXT.

However, this only further strengthens the notion that WWE and NXT should share the Women's Tag Team Titles. Both divisions do not have enough teams at all.
