WWE News Roundup: Roman Reigns "touched" by legend's comments, new star reacts to comparison with Brock Lesnar and Hall of Famer (3rd November, 2021)

#3 Mandy Rose reveals how Vince McMahon thought differently of her after a backstage meeting in WWE

Mandy Rose reinvented herself after moving back to WWE NXT and recently won the Women's Championship on the brand. This is also her first title reign in the promotion. She opened up about her backstage interactions with Vince McMahon and revealed why the WWE boss might have gained respect for her after their talks.

"There were a few interactions I had with Vince for sure. There was one right at the beginning when I first got to RAW. Then the one with the Otis storyline, I actually went in there and pitched that whole thing. I think that's when, coming from the reaction I got from Vince, is when I think that's when he finally was like, 'Wow, that's an amazing idea.'"

"I think he really gained a lot more respect for me because he loved the idea, but he also thought it was really cool that I took the initiative to come in because he likes that. That was a really cool moment I had with him," said Mandy Rose.

Mandy Rose was part of several promising angles on the main roster. However, her most memorable storyline was still the one when she played Otis' love interest and subsequently feuded with a jealous Sonya Deville. Rose is happy with her current run on NXT, and the leader of Toxic Attraction is looking forward to a dominant championship reign on the brand.
