On her new podcast, “Power Alphas,” Rose delved deeper into her feelings during her main roster days. She said, “I wasn’t very happy with what I was doing then. So, in my head, I looked at it as a positive reinforcement… this could be something really big and really new and innovative for me.”
Interestingly, after her significant NXT stint, Rose clarified her stance on her wrestling future, indicating she won’t return to the ring anytime soon. The wrestling community now watches with bated breath to see what the next chapter holds for Mandy Rose.
