WWE NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose recently appeared on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet to talk about a number of topics such as not knowing exactly what the initial plans were when she first won the title and how she felt like her title reign is going to be a good and long run because the company is going to really make it mean something. Mandy Rose also talked about how it's a good story of her returning to NXT and helping some of the younger talents.
Mandy Rose said:
“I didn’t know exactly when I first won, but when I started getting in the groove with this whole character change and stuff, I felt like this is going to be a good run and a long run because I think we're going to really make it mean something. I think it’s a good story, me coming back here and helping some of the younger girls, even the whole transition of NXT to NXT 2.0. There’s so many young people and young, great talent that is up and coming. I feel like it just made the most sense, and now, I mean, over a year now. I didn’t know it would be this long, but hey, I ain’t complaining.”
Mandy Rose also talked about adding a little edge to her previous character, but it is still her deep inside.
Mandy Rose said:
“I would just say it’s still me. I didn’t change that much. It’s still me. I think it’s more just like adding a little edge to Mandy Rose. I think it’s more about, yea, I can still look good, beat b*tches up, but also, I have this edge to me. I think the whole idea was, as well as with Gigi and Jacy when he all teamed up, like, I think everyone kind of thought I was going to make them be more like Mandy, but instead, we’ve all taken a little bit from each other. So I feel like I have learned from them a lot.”
Mandy Rose then talked about possibly facing WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella in a match down the line.
Mandy Rose said:
“We have a little bit of similar backgrounds in the sense because she obviously had paved the way for us, definitely during the Divas time, the Women’s Revolution, and all that. So, I feel like there’s some kind of similarity with the both of us because she wants to have people respect her more and she did gain that respect over the years, but in the beginning, it wasn’t maybe so much like that. So, there is a little story there.”
