A recent episode of TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast featured former WWE talent Mandy Rose, real name Amanda Saccomanno, as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rose’s thoughts about her release from WWE in 2022 and her abscense from the ring since then.
“I feel like I embrace it and I’m always, the main, the big question people ask is, ‘Will you ever go back?’ and I always just say, ‘Never say never’. And I’m never bitter. I’m never upset about what had happened and what had gone down and the whole situation because I just look at it like I love my life right now. I’m married. I’m a mom. I’m able to have the financial freedom and independence and just be able to do what I want when I want and I don’t need to do anything which is really amazing.
They made their decision and I made mine pay off. And I just feel like it’s important to have that positive mindset because I don’t like to even talk bad about it, right? Because I’m super grateful for everything that the company gave me and the platform it presented itself with and the following that I got from WWE. I wouldn’t be here today and I wouldn’t be able to self-monetize as much with this incredible fan base that I have. So, I’m super grateful and it is what it is. But no, I don’t really disassociate myself from what I’ve done and that chapter of my life.”
Rose also gave her thoughts about her interest in potentially joining AEW, TNA, or any other promotion or a potential return to WWE in the future.
“I would take any call, whether it was AEW, WWE,, TNA, it doesn’t matter where it’s from. I would always take the call. What would be different would be the conversation I have with whichever company it would be because it would be about the Mandy Rose today and it wouldn’t be about the Mandy Rose 5 years ago. And I think that’s what’s so important because I’ve grown. I’ve been very successful these past few years especially being out of WWE. And I think I’m in a different headspace and I’m in a different mindset of what I want to do and how I want to portray the rest of my career and also what I want to do to my body.
We all know that you can get beat up and work a managerial position or anything like that. I would totally not be opposed to either as well. I wouldn’t be opposed to maybe getting back in the ring one day. I always just say never say never because I feel like you never know how you’re going to feel a certain time frame. Like maybe there is a day that I’m like, ‘You know what, I really feel like getting back in the ring. Like why not, right?’ I’m still young. I still take care of myself really well. And that’s why I always say never say never.”
