WWE star Mandy Rose is celebrating her NXT return with a steamy hot photoshoot.
The 32-year-old wrestler, whose real name is Amanda Saccomanno, missed several weeks of shows due to the recent passing of her brother — but she is back and she’s letting the entire world know it.
Mandy Rose Shows Off Curves In Black Bodysuit
The NXT Women’s Champion posted a series of steamy photos to Instagram, showing off her curves in a black, sheer bodysuit and black combat boots, complete with silver chains.
“THE attraction is back 🖤 #wwenxt, ” Rose captioned the photoshoot.
The post, unsurprisingly, caught the eye of many of Rose’s followers, including fellow wrestlers such as Cassie Lee who commented, “Amanda! 😱🔥.”
WWE NXT star Nikkita Lyons wrote, “This fit 🔥🖤,” while pro wrestler Jessica McKay commented, “OH MY OH MY 😍😍😍.”
Mandy Rose will be in action this Saturday at Halloween Havoc — a Halloween-themed show — as she will defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Alba Fyre.
Mandy Rose Issues Statement On Brother’s Passing
Last week, Mandy Rose was set to compete in a six-woman tag team match, however, before the match started, competitor Alba Fyre kidnapped Mandy Rose in her car and left the parking lot.
It was later revealed that this was a stunt as WWE decided to pull Mandy Rose from the show because her brother passed away on October 3.
Mandy Rose has since issued a statement regarding her brother’s tragic death, writing:
“I just wanted to thank everyone who paid their respects for my brother. The last few days weren’t easy but we’re so thankful for all of our family and friends who supported us in this tragic time & celebrated Richie’s life. I know Richie would even be surprised to see how many people cared about him and loved him. Still feels like a bad dream. RIP Richie.. we love you.”
Mandy Rose Gets Engaged
Rose announced her engagement to former WWE Superstar and NFL player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs, Tino Sabbatelli, last month on social media.
“My heart is so full ❤️💍,” Rose wrote alongside several photos of her and her fiancée, showing off her new bling.
Mandy Rose Joins NXT
When Rose was first sent to the NXT, she had no clue what was happening, but despite the confusion, she looked at this next chapter a an opportunity.
“I didn’t even know why I was going to NXT. I’m a firm believer at the end of the day, I looked at it as an opportunity, as a new way to kind of rebrand myself. I think we all need to change as we develop and grow,” she said. “I think for me, it was just a huge opportunity and a blank canvas to use this as something that could be really cool. I didn’t look at any of the negatives. I think that was a big part of it for me. I think a lot of people if they were to get the call to go back to NXT, they would ask a million questions. They’d be like why, and it’s normal, obviously.”
She continued, “But I just literally, I took that call, and I said, ‘Okay, sure.’ I didn’t really ask many questions. Then I had this vision and obviously other things started coming about. I’m like, ‘You know what, I’m going to change up my character a little bit. I want to become a little edgier. It’s all about, can she back it up in the ring? I always have that stigma on me, so I’m going to change it up a little bit.’ Then I had this vision and with the group of a bunch of people, and we kind of made it come to life. So, I think it was honestly the best move for me. I’m super grateful. I just think a positive mindset going into it was the best aspect for me because it also showed. If I had a negative mindset, and if I came out there and looked like I don’t want to be here, it would just show and it wouldn’t work.”
At the end of the day, Mandy Rose stayed positive about the change, and now she is an NXT Women’s Champion. “So, I just stayed really positive, and I’m really happy that I did,” she concluded.
