It may be extremely difficult to bounce back from a major setback in one’s career, particularly in the professional wrestling industry, where competing for the WWE is the ultimate goal. Being fired as a result of bad choices can be a huge blow for a celebrity.
Mandy Rose is a well-known example of a successful comeback. She is currently living a happy life following the split. The former 33-year-old WWE Star has been living in a surreal world and cherishing every moment since leaving WWE in 2022. Shortly after Roxanne Perez won the NXT Women’s Title in 2022, she was let go by the company.
Soon after her meteoric rise in the company, Mandy Rose was released after she started making money from an adult website. Fans were surprised after Mandy’s sudden release, but it proved to be beneficial for the former NXT Women’s champion. Rose gave an in-depth analysis of her final days in the company and her relationship with Vince McMahon during the Busted Open Podcast.
Mandy talked about how Vince wanted her to be herself on camera and feel free. Rose stated, “There was a meeting with Vince, I remember, I will say. There was a meeting, and he had told me that he loves my character and what I’m doing and all, but just be more me”.

She continued, “I remember that was like the one thing. I felt like there was a part of me where I was maybe trying too hard to be that sexy character in a way”.
Rose was one of the most influential characters throughout her time in NXT as the World Champion. She truly loved her character and had a stable under her name, making her last run relevant to the company.
Mandy Rose’s controversial WWE Exit
Without a doubt, Rose’s financial status has improved since her days at WWE. She worked for the corporation for over seven years before being let go in December 2022. She was paid well while she was employed by WWE, taking home a salary of around $500,000. Through her adult fan site, Rose made a comparable amount of money in just one week.
Rose also made around $1 million in one month after her WWE exit. She was released after she sold her private photos on an adult website. This violated the community guidelines of WWE, leading to her eventual release.
When will Mandy Rose return to WWE?
After seven years in the company, Rose developed a dedicated bond with the fans and company officials. She surely went all out during her last run and showed everyone what she could do. Talking about her possible comeback, she has no plans of getting inside the ring anytime soon. She wants to earn a ton of money and live her luxurious life as of now, and she is happy with it.
