Mandy Rose was recently fired from the WWE due to the content on her Fantime Page. The former NXT Women’s Champion was posting risqué content, to make more money on the side. However, the WWE did not approve of it and released her from her contract last year. She has since made over a million from her contract and while she has spoken highly of the promotion, she has expressed no desire to return anytime in the future. All in all, this was quite a surprising exit considering she had spent 7 years with the promotion on both the main roster and the NXT developmental. In fact, a day before her release, she was still the NXT Women’s Champion.
