Several weeks ago on WWE NXT, Mandy Rose appeared to have been dressed up as Nikki Bella. The look came on the November 15th episode of NXT, where she defended her title against Alba Fyre.
During a recent appearance on the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast, the reigning WWE NXT Women’s Champion said her choice of ring gear wasn’t intentional.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her look being similar to Nikki’s: “Oh gosh I knew. Can’t even wear my own merch hat, and it’s a big thing. But no, I definitely — I mean, when I had the whole outfit on, backstage obviously, we were all saying it. And then I was like, ‘Okay, do I look way too much like Nikki right now? Like, I’m definitely going to get ripped on the internet. But everyone was like, ‘Yeah, who cares? You’re owning to her legacy, right?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, why not?’ So, yeah, and that’s what happened. We knew the internet was going to go there.”
On a possible match with Nikki: “Right? That’s what I said. And then afterwards I mean, I don’t know. I’m just saying, she did say she wants one more match so, I don’t know! And I feel like also, even my promo the other night, her legacy and just like everything I’ve done. We have a little bit of similar backgrounds in a sense. Because she’s obviously paved the way for us, definitely during the Divas time and the Women’s Revolution and all that.
“So it’s like, I feel like there’s some kind of similarity with the both of us. Because she was always one to be like, she wants to have people respect her more, and she she did gain that respect over the years. But in the beginning it wasn’t maybe so much like that. So I feel like there is a little story there.”
