WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently drew comparison between former WWE star Mandy Rose’s release from the company and Vince McMahon’s retirement. Rose had been one of NXT’s most crucial parts of the women’s division. She had won the NXT Women’s Championship last year and went on to have a reign of 413 days and defended it ten times. It was reported that Mandy Rose was released from her WWE contract due to content she posted behind her premium content paywall as first reported by Fightful. Prior to that, Rose dropped the title to Roxanne Perez on this week’s NXT, which certainly shocked fans.
Meanwhile, Vince McMahon abruptly retired due to sexual assault allegations and others that have piled up or resurfaced ever since his resignation.
Kevin Nash opens up on the matter
Nash had a comparison to make when it came to both departures — especially now that murmurs of McMahon thinking about a return have surfaced.
“It comes down to the absolute loss on a daily basis of more and more freedoms,” Nash said on Kliq This.
It’s known that WWE contracts include a morality clause, something Rose may have violated, but her promoting her personal site was nothing new to WWE. They couldn’t look past her more recent content, thus the abrupt title change and firing. Nash compared Mandy Rose’s exit to Vince McMahon leaving WWE.
“It wasn’t like he was filming the sex acts he was having,” Nash continued.
“That was between consenting adults. I think it’s apples and oranges. If she’s her, and I guarantee you the check that gets paid to that person is not to the wrestling name.”
“I think that’s the thing. You’re either an independent contractor or you’re not,” Nash declared.
