Mandy Rose Sparks ‘Hubba Hubba’ Reactions With Cheeky Mirror Pic

Mandy Rose may not have been on the field for the Super Bowl, but she definitely scored big online. The former WWE star lit up Instagram with a bold game day mirror selfie that had fans flooding the comments, and one phrase stood out: "hubba hubba." In the snap, Rose poses in front of a mirror wearing an oversized red football jersey paired with high-waisted black bottoms, striped athletic socks, and white sneakers. She snapped the photo mid-pose with the camera flash lighting up the frame, keeping the caption simple with just a football emoji.

"Great assets!" one follower wrote. Another chimed in with, "Wow, hubba hubba, happy Super Bowl day." Others filled the comments with heart and fire emojis, clearly impressed with her game day outfit.

While her latest game day snap had fans shouting "hubba hubba," Rose's life has looked very different behind the scenes over the past few years.

Rose's career took a dramatic turn in December 2022 when WWE released her, reportedly due to explicit content shared on her FanTime page. At the time, the decision sparked widespread conversation among fans, especially given that she was in the middle of a dominant championship run in NXT.

Since her departure, Rose has largely stepped away from in-ring competition. While she has appeared at wrestling conventions and fan signings, she has not made a full-time return to the squared circle. In September 2024, however, she participated in the BLP Wrestler's Combine, briefly reigniting speculation about a potential comeback.

On her "Power Alphas Podcast," Rose has been candid about what life as a WWE Superstar truly entails, particularly when it comes to finances and sacrifice. "I think people think WWE money in general is crazy, right?" she said. "I've talked to a lot of people in the past, like, 'You've gotta be doing really well at WWE,' questioning maybe what I do now or whatever it may be. Yeah, I was doing well, and I thought I was making great money."

She explained that while the exposure and fan loyalty were invaluable, the financial reality wasn't always as glamorous as people assume. "But when you actually break it down, as independent contractors, you're paying for your own hotels, you're paying for your own cars, paying for your own gas, paying for your own food, you're paying for your own clothes that you need to be wearing."

She added, "Not only that, we have to look a certain part… spend a lot of money on ring gear, all those things."

Rose also highlighted the challenges of being classified as a 1099 contractor.

She said, "There's a lot of things that go into play when you are a WWE superstar, and how much money you have to put out there, and as a 1099, don't get really any benefits for the long run. After it's all said and done and Uncle Sam comes, and it's time to pay for your taxes…"

Rose also noted that nothing in WWE is guaranteed and that your time there can end without warning. After the bombshell was dropped, she explained that WWE had long positioned her as a sex symbol, and she ultimately recognized she could monetize that image on her own terms, with full control over the branding and revenue, and that's exactly what she did.

"My life changed," Rose added. "I went from grinding 300-plus days out of the year, falling on my back, to basically 10-xing my money in one year. I wake up when I want, do what I want, and I don't have to take bumps or be on the road for 300-plus days."

She then revealed, "I basically make ten times the amount of money that I made in WWE in one year. That's crazy."
