Mandy Rose recently appeared on Episode 39 of Prince St. Pizza and talked about her WWE release. She confirmed that her wrestling career officially came to an end when WWE let her go in 2022.
It was the end of my career, which is kind of like, you know, I kind of like went out on top, which I always wanted to, but I didn’t suspect that my career was ending.
It was just something that happened, and it ended, but like I said, I was grateful that I had that run because it really increased my equity in the company like 10 fold. (From 12:12)
Mandy stated that she is thankful for her time in WWE, and she was very much shocked by her abrupt release. However, she also felt that the situation had a silver lining, as she did not want to continue wrestling until she was 50 years old.
