"The best in the business right now" - WWE Hall of Famer praises NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently praised NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose, dubbing her "the best in the business right now."

Rose joined WWE after participating in the 2015 Tough Enough competition. Nearly two years later, she made her main roster debut. God's Greatest Creation competed for about four years on Monday Night RAW and SmackDown before transitioning to NXT in July 2021. She has since become the leader of Toxic Attraction and won the NXT Women's Championship.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T praised Rose for stepping up her game since joining WWE's third brand. He also highlighted how her work ethic and presentation are top-notch.

"Mandy Rose man, she stepped up. She stepped up. She's definitely a player man. And when I say she's like the best in the business right now, that wasn't just cliche or anything like that. She's come up. And just the looks on her face, her mannerisms, her work ethic, everything is literally on point and you can see her confidence level in ring is like way over the top," he said.
