WWE Accused of Urging Mandy Rose to Wrestle Shortly After Her Brother’s Passing

Mandy Rose was fired from WWE last year after she posted a lot of NSFW content behind her premium content paywall. She had a tremendous time in NXT, but her personal life was in shambles last year after her brother passed away. That said, WWE has been accused of pressuring Mandy Rose to wrestle just days after her brother’s passing.

In October last year, the former WWE Superstar lived a tragedy when her older brother Richard passed away aged 40. She would end up missing a few shows due to this. However, Rose would pay tribute to her later brother after NXT Halloween Havoc last year.

While speaking on their newly launched podcast Power Alphas, Mandy Rose and fiance Tino Sabbatelli talked about Rose’s brother passing away. Sabbatelli accused WWE of pressuring Mandy Rose to wrestle just days after her brother’s passing.

“Let’s note that less than 10 days after your brother’s passing, you were a main event star of a big pay-per-view, that WWE kinda put a little bit of pressure on you. Listen, we all have a job at the end of the day, and life goes on. And I really admired that you went out defended your belt, defended your title, won, carried the card. You were the biggest star on the card. And I think that is a symbol, a symbolize of who you are as a woman.”

Mandy Rose also penned a heartbreaking message to her brother on the 1-year anniversary of his death. Rose will forever love and cherish the time she spent with her brother and nothing will ever change that, no matter what.
