Mandy Rose says that her release from theWWEhas left her feeling, “very hurt,” after the wrestling conglomerate severed ties with her over her private activities on her FanTime page. The move comes after the very public return of Vince McMahon following a string of scandals (which was accompanied by a boost to the company’s stock).
Dexerto got the details on Mandy Rose’s exit, including her feelings on the whole affair and how things may have come about—with Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful.com commenting on what caused it in the first place.

According toSean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, “WWEofficials felt they were put in a tough position based on the content she was posting on her FanTime page. They felt like it was outside of the parameters of her WWE deal.” Such a claim leaves room for speculation on if it was what Rose was doing during her private time outside of the ring that bothered theWWEso much, or the fact that she was making money doing it, being celebrated by FanTime in December of 2022 for making over $1 million that month—consequently the same month she lost herNXT Women’sbout with Roxanne Perez and was given her walking papers. Such an income would have given her way more leverage with theWWEthan they originally had if they weren’t her sole method of breadwinning.
Mandy Rose had this to say: “I am hurt. 100%. I am very hurt,” clarifying that it was the firing that hurt more than anything. As for her time with theWWEshe was more positive, praising the experience for helping her start a career and advancing as far as she did: “Everything happens for a reason. I can’t even say I was wronged, because I am so forever grateful for everythingWWEhas presented me with.” It’s a very charitable attitudetowards a group that gave her the boot with little fanfarearound the whole deal. Still, if Mandy Rose is happy with her time at theWWE, nobody can say differently.
Wrestling is a fickle game where the division between executives and the wrestlers themselves can be vast. Stars can maybe spread their time between wrestling organizations likeAEWand theWWEas Manny Lemons recently did—if they’re lucky. Spread their time in other venues, however, and like Mandy Rose did on her private FanTime account, and they can be ousted from their contract altogether.
