Mandy Rose was perceived as a mid-card attraction during her stay on the WWE main roster. However, a major resurgence in NXT during 2021 changed everything for her and she recently revealed an interesting fact from that tenure.
Upon her return to WWE’s developmental territory, Mandy Rose was aligned with upcoming stars, Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin as the leader of a new faction, Toxic Attraction.
The trio dominated the NXT landscape and even led Mandy Rose to capture the NXT Women’s title at Halloween Havoc in 2021. During her recent appearance on Threads with McKenzie Mitchell, Mandy spoke about the time with the stable.
She revealed that each of the members brought their own touch and personality to the faction and were not so matchy-matchy. Moreover, Mandy even compared it to her time teaming up with her real-life best friend, current WWE star Sonya Deville.
“Even when Sonya Deville and I tag-teamed. We’re not the same person. We’re both very different, especially Sonya and I. And even with these girls, I didn’t know them that well, but I didn’t want to come in and make them look more like me. Like that was not the vibe. That was not the intention from the get-go. Actually, if anything, if would be me getting a little of the edginess from them. We all created our own little look, but it meshed so well together without being like, ‘Oh, they’re so matchy-matchy.”
Mandy Rose’s clan disbanded sometime after her WWE release in 2022. While Rose is currently excelling in her outside endeavors, Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin continue to pursue their dreams of becoming a top WWE superstar in NXT.
