On December 14th, WWE released Mandy Rose from her contract due to some risque FanTime content.

WWE found themselves in a tough position based on the adult content Rose was posting on her FanTime page as it was outside of the parameters of her deal with the company.

On the latest episode of his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, Freddie Prinze Jr. claimed that Rose’s unceremonious WWE exit might be the first blunder under Triple H’s regime. He said,

“In what I think might be the first fumble that Triple H has had, they released Mandy Rose, the NXT Champion. And if you aren’t familiar with her, she rules. She’s awesome, she’s been the champ for over a year. She’s drop-dead gorgeous, she can talk on the mic a bit… and NXT, the crowd there welcomed her with open arms when — I don’t wanna say it’s a demotion to go from the main roster to NXT, because I think most of the time these wrestlers now are trying to help out the NXT roster. Because a lot of them came from the NXT roster.”

“So I don’t know if the people you’re hiring who you define, the company defines, as subcontractors — meaning they are not employees of the WWE. That’s how they get away with not paying for insurance for these wrestlers. That’s why all professional wrestlers have to carry their own insurance before WWE will even look at them. Like, there’s some crazy stuff there that is not cool.”

Rose dropped the NXT Women’s Championship to Roxanne Perez the night before her release.

It was reported that although WWE had caught her off guard with the release, Rose was in good spirits at the NXT show and immediately following her departure from the company.

Prinze acknowledged that Rose’s FanTime earnings eclipsed her WWE paycheck. He said,

“They let her go, and I’m sure that’s the reasoning why. And it was rumored she was making over $200K a month on that, which is way more than WWE is paying her. So while I’m sure she is disappointed, and was probably — well, maybe shocked, maybe not. Maybe she knew what she was posting could cost her her job. But when the money’s that good, it’s like, ‘What am I gonna do. I mean, I have to have a life after wrestling.’ And fitness is one of her big things. I’m telling y’all, leg day, every day.”

Rose’s representative, Malki Kawa noted that her client has made over $500,000 from her FanTime page following her WWE release on December 14.

Kawa also predicted that Mandy would be a “self-made millionaire” by Christmas.

Following her WWE release, Rose raised the price of her FanTime subscription from $25 to $40.

Prinze touched on Mandy’s potential future in the pro wrestling business before signing off. He said,

“So they let her go, and she — I guess in 90 days, will be a free agent and able to wrestle wherever she wants. Although I’m sure they said, ‘We’ll keep the door open.’ But that just means, ‘Yeah, if you give us our cut. If we get 10 or 20% of whatever you pull in a month, because we made you, then yeah come on back.’ And I’m sure they asked that, and I’m sure she said, ‘Go to hell, I’m not giving you a dime of this money.’ We wish you well, Mandy Rose. I’m sure you’re gonna be picked up on Day 91, as soon as your no-compete clause is released.”
