“People love to hate me” – Major name was upset with WWE upon abrupt release

WWE often releases superstars in the promotion, and names have left the company due to abrupt releases and budget cuts. Recently, former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Sacs, fka Mandy Rose, revealed she was upset due to a major reason.

In 2022, Mandy Rose was abruptly released from the Stamford-based promotion, and it came as a shock to many, as Rose was in her record-setting reign as the NXT Women’s Champion.

In an exclusive interview with Card Player, the third-longest WWE NXT Women’s Champion revealed she was upset with the company upon her abrupt release, which ended Toxic Attraction in the coming months.

“In general, even helping Jayce Jayne and Gigi Dolin and Toxic Attraction. That was the biggest thing that I was upset about was – ‘cause I knew I was gonna be fine financially. I knew when one door closes, another one opens. And I knew there were gonna be opportunities flowing. I really didn’t stress so much about that. It was upsetting that my 413-day reign ended like that because I knew that it could become bigger and bigger, eventually to the main roster,” Sacs explained.

Moreover, the biggest reason for being upset was that her reign was abruptly cut short without any follow-ups.

“People love to hate me. I don’t know what it is. So that part of it, I just always tried to help them with stuff that I knew that I had under my belt and I knew I was confident about. So that was kind of upsetting that I felt like my purpose was kind of shut off like that,” Sacs explained.

Mandy Rose hasn’t returned to wrestling since her WWE release in 2022

In 2022, Mandy Rose dominated the women’s division on the developmental brand alongside Toxic Attraction for over a year. The Golden Goddess was breaking previous records and reaching new heights in the promotion as the champion.

Unfortunately, she was abruptly released from WWE in December 2022. She lost the title to Roxanne Perez and was released from the company, which came as a shock to many.

She was destined for a run on WWE’s main roster in the coming months, but the dream run ended without notice. Since her release, Sacs hasn’t competed for any promotion, and it’ll be interesting to see if she ever returns to wrestling.
