Could Mandy Rose repeat the same level of success she achieved during her WWE NXT run, which included an impressive record-setting title reign as NXT Women's Champion, outside of the promotion?
Deonna Purrazzo thinks she can.
"The Virtuosa" recently spoke with Alistair McGeorge of Metro U.K. for an in-depth interview, during which, she sounded off with her thoughts on how Mandy Rose would fare in a place like IMPACT Wrestling.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where the women's wrestling star explains why the former Toxic Attraction leader would "thrive" in IMPACT Wrestling working under the likes of Scott D'Amore and other behind-the-scenes executives in the company.
On how she’s keen to see Mandy Rose thrive in a new environment if she chooses to continue with her pro wrestling career elsewhere following her recent WWE departure: "“Oh, I’m gonna open the door and welcome her in! I think that the Mandy Rose that came to NXT a year and a half, almost two years ago, to the Mandy Rose we see today has been a complete evolution of Mandy Rose. To see her in a different light and on a different platform, and see what else she can do without the WWE confines, is going to reinvent her again. Obviously we can’t speculate what she’s gonna do, or what her mindset is, if she wants to wrestle, if it she doesn’t want to wrestle – it wouldn’t be fair to. But if she chooses to wrestle, I want to wrestle her.”
On how she thinks Mandy Rose would thrive working in an environment like IMPACT Wrestling under the company's Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore: “Our paths have never crossed in wrestling, we just know of each other and things like that but I think she’s a frickin’ star. Impact has become such a landing zone for people post-WWE to continue to grow their brand and evolve as a professional wrestler, and I think she would thrive in this environment that we have at Impact. We should break down the door for her and welcome her with open arms.”
