Mandy Rose was just surprisingly released from WWE, so we’ll get into that entire
story.
We’ll also check out what’s being rumored for Dominik, Rey Mysterio, and more
Let’s start things off with the biggest news, which is of course the release of Mandy
Rose
Mandy Rose became a household name and mega star for WWE over the last few years
She started off as a participant for in WWE’s Tough Enough competition show, and even though
she didn’t win that competition, she was still offered a contract from WWE
She had her first run in NXT, then made her debut on the main roster as a part of Absolution,
followed up by her tag team with Sonya Deville, and then she was moved back to NXT
Everyone was in agreement that the best run of Mandy Rose’s WWE career was her second
run in NXT
She went though a massive character change, led one of the most dominant women’s factions
in NXT history, and went onto hold the NXT women’s championship for well over four
hundred days
Now prior to these recent events, everyone assumed that Mandy would eventually drop the
title to a young star and return to the main roster with Toxic Attraction by her side
And everyone assumed that Mandy Rose would be presented as a big star and credible threat
on the main roster since she’s coming off this four hundred day long title reign
So what went wrong and what went down?
Well on the December 13th edition of NXT, Mandy Rose ended up losing her title that
she held for 413 days to Roxanne
Now in that very moment, fans did correctly point out that something felt off about the
entire situation
Right behind Roman and The Usos, Mandy had one of the longest active title reigns in
WWE
So everyone rightfully expected the moment of Mandy Rose being dethroned to be this massive
passing of the touch moment
And it still definitely was, Roxanne is a young and deserving star to take that torch
as champion, but fans just had a suspicion that this wasn’t the original planned ending
for Mandy’s reign and how something must’ve forced their hand
Well last than 24 hours after dropping the title, Mandy Rose was released by WWE, a massive
curve ball that no one saw coming, but at the same time, the release confirms the fan’s
suspicions that this was a last second change to Mandy’s title reign
So what caused Mandy Rose to basically be stripped of the title and immediately released
from the company?
Well the story is definitely out there
Mandy Rose had been selling content behind a paywall on a subscription website for the
last few months
Mandy didn’t really advertise the subscription page and plaster it all over social medias,
it was all kept very low-key, but it was still out there
Mandy’s paid content page was said to even have over ten thousand subscribers at one
point
So there was a price for the subscription and then separate prices for the pieces of
content, so it was generating a lot of income and the buzz around it continued to grow
What made everyone take notice of what Mandy was doing even more was when one Twitter user
posted a tweet with a screenshot of one of Mandy’s premium pieces of paid content from
paywall
This really brought even more eyes and attention to what Mandy Rose was doing with the paid
content page and it absolutely blew up and went viral amongst the wrestling community
on Twitter
Then a few days later, Mandy Rose gets released because of that situation with the paid content
Reports claim it’s more specifically a breach of contract with Mattel
Mattel has been handling all of WWE’s action figures for several years now and reports
claim that what Mandy did is a breach of contract between the agreement that’s reached between
Mattel, WWE, and the talent themselves
Putting out that tape of content is a breach of contract for that Mattel and WWE agreement
So a lot of fans are confused and trying to figure out what happened
Mandy Rose had been doing the paid content for a long time and perfectly getting away
with it, this didn’t just start recently
But it looks like the extra added spotlight that the Twitter user and the rest of the
community put on Mandy’s paid content is what finally caught Mattel’s attention and
forced WWE’s hand
A lot of fans are also confused with the content itself.
Some people are referring to it as “leaked content”
There’s been plenty of superstars that have dealt with leaks and they didn’t lose their
job, why’s that?
Well in those specific cases, those were legitimate leaks and stolen personal pictures and videos
But this case is a little different, it’s not fully leaked images and videos that were
stolen from Mandy Rose without her knowledge
She was fully aware and was actively publishing the content herself and putting it up for
sale to anyone that bought it
So you can see how those two situations differ.
One side is legitimate stolen leaks, while the other side is paywall subscription content
that the content creator is fully aware of and was purposely putting out there as a product
to purchase
There’s conflicting reports on if WWE had warned Mandy Rose or not
Some reports claim that Mandy was warned and knew she could face some trouble if all that
paywall content continued to make buzz
But fans feel like it was still a strong reaction to insanely cut ties with Mandy Rose and fully
fire her
Fans were discussing how a temporary suspension and warning might’ve been enough, but that’s
not what they decided to do
Fans are also comparing the situation to how other superstars can fail multiple drug tests,
get multiple D.U.I.’s, run into all these other issues yet their jobs are still perfectly
intact
So it’s a really tough situation.
All the details aren’t fully out yet, but it’s still very unfortunate
Mandy’s historic NXT title reign ends in a very anticlimactic way due to this controversy
and WWE loses a major star in the process as well
And instead of everyone talking about the historic title reign, everyone is talking
about Mandy Rose’s release
However, It was also being reported that the door is always open for Mandy Rose’s return,
so that makes everything even make confusing
But we’ll have to see how this situation continues to unfold and what ends up happening
———————
Wrestlemania 39 has a lot of huge rumored matches for the show and another one that’s
now being rumored is Rey Mysterio vs Dominik Mysterio
A lot of fans like to joke about long-term storylines, and well this situation between
Dominik and Rey is one of those extremely long-term stories
Rey Mysterio was bringing Dominik to WWE shows and putting him on WWE television ever since
Dom was in elementary school
And like we started seeing in 2019, WWE began teasing the idea of Dominik permanently tagging
along and joining his father on WWE television
And in 2020, that’s exactly what we saw
Dominik made his WWE debut to defend his father from Seth Rollins
Although Seth did tempt Dominik and told him that he had to get out of his father’s shadow,
Dominik still stayed by his father’s side
They went onto become the first ever father and son duo to win the tag team titles
But as Rey Mysterio continued to push Dominik to the side for Edge, this eventually led
to Dominik snapping on his father and joining the judgment day
And that brings us to current day where Dominik slanders his father with ever opportunity
that he gets
Rey and Dominik are being kept apart by the two of them being on separate brands, but
there’s a rumor out there that these two could finally come together for a match at
Wrestlemania 39
A lot fans expect this match to be a high stakes match with either Rey’s mask or career
being on the line against his son
So that’s another rumored match to really be on the lookout for
But what are your thoughts on today’s stories with the release of Mandy Rose and Dominik
versus Rey Mysterio?
