Mandy Rose relates to Mercedes Mone.
Mercedes Mone walked out of WWE in 2022 and later signed with AEW, where she now holds the TBS Championship. Rose had a lengthy run in WWE as well, but she was released in December 2022, reportedly due to risque content on her FanTime page.
Speaking on her Power Alphas podcast, former WWE star Mandy Rose brought up Mercedes Mone's comments about having creative control in AEW and being happy. She noted that she could relate to enjoying the freedom that Mercedes had in her post-WWE journey.
“Mercedes Mone recently did an interview, and she talked about having complete creative control in AEW, which I kind of knew about, I had heard previously. Someone asked her about returning to WWE, and she just said, ‘I have everything I love right now, so I’m happy.’ So, good for her for doing what she did, and now she’s able to have complete creative control, which, she was always big with that. I remember in WWE, if she wasn’t happy with something, it was hard for her to be able to speak out about it because [of] certain circumstances and people weren’t gonna change it, then it was useless to even speak out because you’re just wasting your breath. So I think that’s cool, that she does have all of that creative control. I can definitely relate to her right now in a sense of, yeah I’m not wrestling right now, but it is a sense of really great freedom to be able to do whatever you want and have that creative control, and if something comes your way, you’re able to do it and you don’t have to go through this line of people to get permission or whatever it is. That is a great feeling, especially [for] people that have been in WWE for quite some time and kind of felt like they were restricted. I hope they’re changing a little bit, which they might be. But I think that’s relatable in my aspect. Even though I’m not wrestling, I do think that it is a very freeing feeling to be able to do whatever you want and create whatever you want. The world is your oyster, and it’s cool," Rose said.
