Mandy Rose has experienced a whirlwind journey since her abrupt departure from WWE back in December 2022. She hasn’t stepped foot inside a pro wrestling ring ever since and she has now admitted that she misses professional wrestling.
Mandy Rose saw her departure from WWE not as a setback, but as an opportunity to explore new paths. Now focusing on premium content creation, she is clearly making bank and happy with her progress in general.
Mandy Rose is making a return to pro wrestling at Black Label Pro: Crowning Glory in Chicago. The event, set for September 4 and sponsored by Draft King, will include the “Wrestling Combine,” featuring various stars from TNA, AEW, and former WWE wrestlers.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Mandy Rose admitted that she misses wrestling, acknowledging it was a significant part of her life for over eight years. While she’s excited about the adrenaline rush of wrestling, she’s unsure how her body will handle it if she takes a bump.
“I can’t tell you too much. I want it to be a little surprise,” Mandy said of her involvement at the event. “I might make a little special appearance there. So, you’ll have to wait and see.
I definitely miss it. I can’t sit here and say I don’t miss it. Obviously it was a big part of my life for eight plus years. I for sure miss it. I don’t know if I’m gonna miss that first bump I take, if I do take a bump, I don’t know. We’ll see how my body feels. I‘m very proud and grateful and blessed of everything that I’ve accomplished, the last couple years especially. But certain things really give you that adrenaline rush… Maybe that’s the little feeling that I may be missing a little bit lately. We shall see. Maybe it might bring me to a comeback.”
The “Wrestling Combine” will showcase eight athletes, including Mandy Rose, Jake Hager, Ash by Elegance, Riddick Moss, Jordynne Grace, Parker Boudreaux, Xia Li, and Moose, competing in various athletic contests to determine the top overall athlete. She also addressed a potential debut in AEW, so we’ll have to see what Rose will do in the end.
