Mandy Rose Says Title Match 'Caught Her Off Guard'
For Rose, how she lost the title did not sit well with her, regardless of her issues with the WWE showrunners at the time.
"For me to lose the title on such a whim on a random Tuesday night with zero storytelling and zero promotion leading up to the match was a shocker. I was very caught off guard," Rose told theNew Your Post.
Rose claimed that she had anticipated the championship bout to happen in January. However, she was informed that it had been shifted forward "without notice," which, according to the former wrestler, was a move that "usually doesn't happen in our company."
Regarding a future return to the WWE, Rose shared during her appearance on the Tamron Hall Show earlier in the month that it was still a possibility.
"I would say obviously, never say never… I don't know what the future holds," said Rose on the show.
