Former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose appeared on Tuesday’s episode the Tamron Hall show.
Rose was released following what is being tagged as controversial adult photos on her FanTime account.
Rose told Hall that she could have made the $1 million that she made from her FanTime account in WWE long term. However, she’s made more on FanTime than she could have made in WWE right now. Rose made the $1 million just in December 2022 alone from her FanTime account.
Below are additional highlights from the interview, courtesy of F4WOnline.
She was “very hurt” and “very disappointed” by her release.
It’s been really crazy the last few months. However, she is incredibly grateful and blessed for everything that has happened to her.
She said she did not know the reason she was dropping the NXT Women’s Championship when her match against Perez happened. The match was originally supposed to take place at January’s NXT New Year’s Evil event. However it was moved but was moved up. She then said she was shocked about losing the title when she did, but she also had “some inclination” about the situation.
She said she was never told that her FanTime page was why she was released from WWE. When asked about rumors that she was warned about the adult-content, she said there was one warning and that she complied with it.
She said there is “some confidentiality” associated with her release.
She expressed gratitude for her time in WWE and for the support she received from her fans.
She learned that her name, image, and likeness is extremely valuable, and now she can self-monetize, have complete brand control, and have a direct relationship with her fans.
She went on to say that she is learning that was a moment of empowerment for her.
