"Why is it such a big deal?" – Hall of Famer defends Mandy Rose for choosing FanTime over WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Madusa defended Mandy Rose following her abrupt release from the promotion in a recent interview.

Rose was the reigning NXT Women's Champion before she lost the title after an impressive 413-day reign. The next day, she was released from the company.

It was later revealed that Mandy Rose's explicit pictures on FanTime raised concerns backstage. WWE higher-ups were reportedly left with no choice but to fire Rose. The latter thanked fans for their support and said that the decision surprised her. Many in the WWE Universe felt it was unfair to let her go because of her content on FanTime.

Madusa (aka Alundra Blayze) discussed the topic at length in her interview with RAW Cognizance's Alyx and said:

"Mandy is a full-grown woman. Her doing what she did, and she knew going in. So, if it was in her contract and it was okay for her to do it, then who gives a crap, right? Or if it wasn't, then she knew that the repercussions were coming. Why is it such a big deal? I mean, the woman seems happy, and isn't that what's important?"

Madusa further argued that if her contract prohibited her from sharing explicit content online, she would plan accordingly. She also suggested that if posting such content is important, then it should be negotiated into the contract. Madusa urged everyone to refrain from being judgmental, saying:

"Well, that was her choice. And you know, if her fans support her, then they should support her. To each their own, man. Why do we care what other people are doing in their own time and criticize them? I am sorry, but are we all perfect? I sure am the hell not. No, but I am not gonna sit here and ridicule somebody for their choices. I just know what I am able to do in my contract, so I know I am not gonna do nudes right? But if I wanted to do them, I would negotiate them into my contract. Then there wouldn't be a problem."
