WWE seemingly erases 413-day reign from major championship's history

Modified Apr 17, 2024 03:13 GMT

WWE seemingly doesn't want to acknowledge a massive championship reign, judging by what happened on tonight's edition of NXT.

On WWE NXT tonight, Tatum Paxley cut a sinister promo targeting Lyra Valkyria. The promo saw her mentioning some of the most notable past NXT Women's Champions.

Interestingly, Paxley didn't mention what many fans consider one of the greatest NXT Women's Title reigns in history. Mandy Rose held the prestigious belt for a whopping 413 days during 2021-22 and revived her waning career in the process. She was let go by WWE immediately after she lost the belt to Roxanne Perez in late 2022.

Mandy Rose didn't do much of note on the main roster during her multiple-year long run. Her most notable storyline on the main roster was her love triangle with Otis and Dolph Ziggler on The Road to WrestleMania 36 in 2020. The angle saw Otis defeating Ziggler at 'Mania and kicking off a romantic angle with Mandy.

Mandy later went back to NXT and formed a faction with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne. The trio terrorized the NXT women's locker room and Mandy went on to win the women's title.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
