Mandy Rose Recalls WWE Telling Her To Be 'Less Sexy' Following First Main Roster Call Up

Former WWE star Mandy Rose has revealed that the company asked her to tone down the sexiness when she was first called up from NXT to the main roster in 2017.

On her Mandy Sacs channel, the former NXT Women's Champion recalled:

"When I first got to the main roster I was like the golden goddess and the sexy one from Tough Enough and whatever, and I was told to take it down a notch, 'You're too sexy'. So, now I'm going, 'To be honest, I'm not even trying to be sexy', I just am, I wasn't trying. But then what do you think happened when they told me to take it down a notch or I'm being too sexy?".

Rose then recalled pulling back on her in response to the guidance, which WWE took as her attempting to be seductive. She noted that the feedback was coming form the "big dog" at the time, referring to Vince McMahon.

Continuing, Mandy said:

"I wanna be sexy but I don't wanna put on sexy, I just wanna be me, and then I think it was my 'NXT' days was when I finally felt this is me. I went a little darker, I was a little edgier, but that is me. Yes, I'm a blonde bombshell sometimes and all that, but I just feel like I was able to be my cool self... I think when you're given the confidence in that aspect too, when you're put on a little bit of a pedestal, it helps a lot with your confidence".

Rose was fired by WWE in December 2022, due to what the company considered explicit content on her FanTime page.

The 34-year-old recently claimed she is now making ten times as much as her WWE salary.

She isn't planning a return to pro wrestling.
