Mandy Rose’s Playful Jab at WWE Evolution 2025 Exclusion
Wrestling fans got a spicy social media moment when Mandy Rose, former NXT Women’s Champion, poked fun at being left off WWE’s 2025 Evolution card. The all-women’s pay-per-view event was hyped up as a pivotal milestone for female wrestlers—so her absence sparked a wave of online chatter. Rose, who held the NXT Women's belt for an impressive 413 days and was a focal point of Toxic Attraction, is no stranger to the Evolution stage. She was featured in the original 2018 show, so being snubbed for this year’s much-anticipated second edition did not go unnoticed.
On her social platforms, Rose leaned into humor. She posted a cheeky video, glass of wine in hand, pretending to wait for a call from WWE’s office. Her caption read: “It's okay, it never came but they can't afford me anyway. I'll just watch and support from here.” It was a witty, confident response—showing she’s more amused than bitter about missing out. In the video, her nonchalance sold the vibe. Fans clearly loved the self-aware and empowered tone.
Life Beyond WWE: Social Media Fame and a New Direction
Mandy Rose’s journey since her 2022 WWE release has been a whirlwind. Her departure followed a company crackdown on her FanTime content, which clashed with internal policies around online presence and third-party ventures. But the setback didn’t stall her ambitions—it launched a new chapter. Rose doubled down on her persona as a model and digital creator, quickly carving out a lucrative spot on platforms like OnlyFans and FanTime. Her following exploded, with subscriptions and custom content turning into a full-time, successful career.
Her appeal only grew as she kept ties with the wrestling community. A recent collaboration with Cora Jade—now using her real name, Elayna Black—showed that Rose isn’t stepping away from the ring entirely, just rewriting her script. She pops up for podcasts, influencer collabs, and wrestling-related content, proving she’s still plugged into the business.
Fans have mixed feelings about her being left out of Evolution. Some hope she’ll step back in the squared circle, while others are cheering her newfound freedom as a businesswomen and entertainer. Through it all, Rose’s message has stayed clear: even if WWE isn’t calling, she’s thriving—both in front of the camera and behind her personal brand. For a generation of wrestlers weighing risk, reward, and self-determination, Mandy Rose just became a blueprint on how to handle a public snub like a pro.
