Former WWE superstar Mandy Rose has plenty of people's attention this Friday, that's for sure.
Amanda Rose Saccomanno, who performed under the ring name of Mandy Rose, was signed to the WWE from 2015-2022. Although she was considered a fan favorite, she was released by the company in December 2022 for posting content on FanTime. She later revealed that she actually makes more money posting social media content than she did competing in the ring.
“I wake up when I want, do what I want, and I don’t have to take bumps or be on the road for 300-plus days, and I make basically 10-times the amount of money that I made in WWE in one year,” Rose said. “Like, that’s crazy.”
While there are plenty of fans who miss seeing Rose wrestle for the WWE, it doesn't sound like a return is imminent.
If anything, Rose has made the full-time shift to being an Instagram influencer.
On Thursday, the former NXT Women's Champion shared a swimsuit photo on Instagram that legitimately left her fans speechless.

Mandy Rose opens up about intense career
Despite leaving pro wrestling behind, Rose has strongly defended those who still represent the WWE. She knows how much work is put in by those at the performance center.
“You can’t sit and say there was a specific reason or make up a reason of being ‘someone didn’t put in enough work.’ There is no time to be lazy at the PC. You’re training all week, you’re putting in the work, some of these girls have been there a couple of years now,” Rose said. “You’re going to live events and traveling all around Florida. You have one day off, like Sunday, to regroup and all that. You’re hustling. To say that is so stupid.”
Hopefully, Rose and the WWE can settle their differences in the coming months. Until that happens, she'll be going viral on social media.
