Mandy Rose recently opened up about comparing her past storyline with Otis and the current angle involving Maxxine Dupri. In early 2020, Rose and Otis were part of a romantic storyline culminating in a memorable on-screen kiss at WrestleMania 36. Fast forward to today, and Otis is now a member of Alpha Academy alongside Maxxine Dupri under the leadership of Chad Gable and Akira Tozawa.

On her “Power Alphas” podcast, Rose shared her thoughts on these comparisons, saying, “At Clash at the Castle, Otis picked up Maxxine just like he picked me up. It’s drawing a lot of comparisons.”
Reflecting on her storyline with Otis, Rose expressed her fondness for it, regretting that their big moments, like their kiss, didn’t happen in front of a live WrestleMania audience. “That big kiss in the Performance Center, we wished that was in front of thousands of people because that crowd would have erupted,” she said.
Rose also commented on the current Alpha Academy storyline, acknowledging its entertainment value and praising Chad Gable’s evolution as a heel character. “I understand what they’re doing with the Maxxine storyline right now. I think it’s actually a really entertaining group. Chad Gable has really grown into his role as a heel,” Rose added.
