Mandy Rose was released from her WWE contract. She 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. However, she was released and it was also reported that the company attempted to spread a narrative about Rose. It has come to light that Triple H never reached out to her.
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.
TMZ Sports reported that the former NXT champion has made $500k off her racy videos in just one week. Her agent, Malki Kawa, informed the outlet that the 32-year-old has made a stunning $500,000 from her FanTime page since the axing. Mandy Rose, according to Kawa, will be the newest self-made millionaire by Christmas, just 6 days away. Mandy was dismissed on Wednesday when she posted sexual photos on the subscription-based portal FanTime, a platform similar to OnlyFans, which is prohibited by WWE. Rose reportedly made one million dollars from her Fantime platform in the month of December. Mandy recently posted for a New York Post pool photoshoot.
During an appearance on Renee Paquette’s podcast, Mandy Rose discussed her firing from WWE in December of 2022 due to content from her FanTime account:
“The next day [after losing NXT Women’s Championship], which I was anticipating with how everything went down, I was making jokes about it the night before. It’s the only way (to get through it). The girls were like, ‘Oh my God, stop, you’re crazy.’ ‘No, it’s not crazy.’ I got a call around 11 something, you know that 203 number [laughs]. When it comes in, you know it’s going to be bad. I got that call, they said what they said, they had to release me because of the situation, but I didn’t really get much info. That was kind of it. I was actually staying at Indi Hartwell’s house, we had become close. She was upstairs getting ready for TV, we had a double taping that day. ‘Indi, I just got fired.’ ‘What? Shut the fuck up. No way.’ ‘No, I’m serious.’ At first, you kind of laugh a little because you don’t know whether you want to laugh or cry. It was a gut punch, but then I was like, ‘I need to really think about this, handle this, whatever.’”
“No one brought it to my attention besides the night before I lost the title, and it was from my lawyer, and it was just saying, ‘take this link down.’ It came from WWE legal. It just said ‘take the link down.’ I complied, obviously, it came from work. Took the link down right away, that night. The next day is when I lost the title and got fired the following day. I never had a warning. I know there is news out there that says I was warned, I never did. It could have been different.”
She also discussed Shawn Michaels telling her about dropping the title, “I was never like kept out of the loop either, being the champion for 413 days. I didn’t really have many surprises like that. So, it’s very like, ‘woo, did I do something? what’s going on?’ Obviously, I had some inclination ‘coz of what was going on social media and what was going on the night before. It came from Shawn Michaels himself. So, I knew it was coming from the Head of Creative. So I knew that was it. I didn’t really have to go and seek other answers even though I wanted other answers but at that moment I had to do my job and get planning our match and everything else we had to do that night.”
