Mandy Rose recently spoke with WWE.com about her career and more. Here are the highlights.
WWE.COM: You made your NXT TV debut in August, and it seems you’ve wasted no time expressing how highly you think of yourself. What sets you apart from the other women in NXT?
ROSE: Clearly, NXT has been blessed with amazing, one-of-a-kind athletes. Our talent have great figures, they’re charismatic and beautiful in their own way. However, I am the total package. I have the body, the face, the athleticism, the strength, the personality and the star quality. I have it all. No one in NXT looks and performs the way that I do. And, to top it off, I’m just getting started!
WWE.COM: Let’s talk about some of those accomplishments. Many fans will remember your initial WWE debut last year on the reality show WWE Tough Enough, followed by joining the cast of Total Divas. What have those experiences been like for you?
ROSE: I’ve been blessed with these opportunities and will cherish them for the rest of my life. Clearly, WWE knows talent when they see it. Two reality shows in one year set me up for the rest of my career in WWE. In just a short time, I was exposed to in-ring training, working with WWE Hall of Famers and forming relationships that will carry me throughout my career here. It sounds simple, but at the end of the day, everyone grows up wanting to be on TV. Well, I have been, and I am extremely grateful to have that experience.
WWE.COM: What was it like for you to go from reality television to a full-fledged NXT Superstar?
ROSE: Reality TV has its perks and has given me a ton of exposure, not only in WWE, but also in mainstream media. However, training and performing in NXT has captured my heart and soul. I know that, someday, I’ll look back and cherish every moment I spent with NXT. The camaraderie amongst the athletes and training staff is invaluable. Performing for live audiences and seeing the fans’ faces is a thrill like no other. In short, I’m hooked, and I’m not stopping until I become the greatest female Superstar the NXT Universe has ever seen.
WWE.COM: What can the NXT Universe expect from Mandy Rose in the future?
ROSE: The best. Nothing but the best. I’ve been blessed with everything I need to turn the NXT Women’s division upside down. I’m going straight to the top. The NXT Universe is blessed to have The Golden Goddess of WWE, Mandy Rose.
