Mandy Rose Questions WWE Return: ‘I Don't Know'
Former WWE NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose recently discussed the possibility of returning to the promotion. In 2022, Rose dominated WWE NXT, enjoying one of the best runs of her career as she held the NXT Women's Championship for 413 days.
However, in December of that year, she lost the title to Roxanne Perez on WWE NXT. The next day, WWE released her, reportedly due to her FanTime content, shocking fans. Now, after spending over two years away, Rose has addressed a potential comeback. However, she doubts whether WWE would accept her, feeling as though the promotion has erased her from its history.

Stephanie Vaquer won the NXT Women's Championship by defeating Giulia, making her a double champion. After her win, WWE called her the first woman to hold two titles in NXT. However, fans pointed out that Rose had already done this by unifying the NXT and NXT UK Women's Championships. Rose reacted by challenging WWE's claim.
In an interview on Busted Open Radio, Mandy Rose addressed whether it surprised her that she is no longer referenced on WWE TV. She stated:
'It does. I really don't know what it was. Circumstantial, and there have been a lot of people in the company where things happen and time goes on and they come back. It's a business, at the end of the day, and they look at it like a business. I have no idea what it is. I thought maybe I'd be back too, wrestling in general.
The cards right now for me, I'm doing really well, and does it make sense for me to go back to wrestling? I don't know, and that's something I'm still unsure about. I've never hung up the boots and said I'm done. I'm still young. If it made sense, I would definitely consider it.'
Mandy Rose expresses her feeling about WWE return
In the same interview, Mandy Rose discussed the possibility of appearing in the Women's Royal Rumble match. She admitted she's unsure if WWE would welcome her back. She stated:

'I don't know if they would accept me back. I don't know how they feel. I've never had a conversation. Are they really offended with what happened? I don't know. Maybe they just don't want to be associated with me anymore, in a sense, because I feel like I'm a little bit erased in certain scenarios.
NXT did mention me not too long ago. It was a promo package and they were talking about the women in general evolving, which was cool. That gave me a little glimmer of hope, 'Oh, I got a little recognition there.' I feel like I am a little erased from their Rolodex of superstars. I could be wrong.' [H/T: Fightful]
With Rose open to the possibility of a return if the right opportunity arises, it will be interesting to see if WWE is willing to bring her back. Only time will tell.

Top AEW Superstar Dealing With Serious Injury
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AEW star Will Ospreay has confirmed that he is dealing with a legitimate and serious neck injury. On the July 23rd episode of AEW Dynamite, Ospreay made his first appearance since the All In pay-per-view to deliver a difficult and honest update on his health. In an emotional in-ring promo segment with Tony Schiavone, Ospreay revealed the nature of the injury. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has since confirmed that the injury is legitimate and not part of a storyline. Ospreay told the live crowd that he has been struggling with neck issues for about ten months but has been keeping the pain to himself. After being taken to the emergency room following the attack at All In, an MRI revealed the severity of the damage. He announced that he has two herniated discs (C2 and C6) that are pushing into his spinal cord. Despite the serious nature of the diagnosis, Ospreay offered a glimmer of hope. Ospreay said that doctors have told him the ailments are treatable and that he hopes to be ready to compete at next month's AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event in his home country of England. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Neck injuries are among the most feared in professional wrestling, often altering or ending careers. The news is especially concerning given Ospreay's breathtaking, high-impact in-ring style. Known as the "Aerial Assassin," his matches are a whirlwind of acrobatic, high-risk maneuvers that put immense strain on his neck and spine. For years, fans and critics have marveled at his ability to perform moves like the Stormbreaker and the OsCutter, while also worrying about the long-term physical toll. This injury appears to be the unfortunate result of that punishing style. AEW is using the brutal storyline attack from the All In: Texas pay-per-view as the on-screen explanation for the injury. At the event, after Ospreay had already competed in a grueling tag team match, he got involved in the main event. He was then attacked by the Death Riders faction, with Claudio Castagnoli stomping his head through a steel chair. The violent angle wrote Ospreay off television and now serves as the justification for his real-life injury. After his promo on Dynamite, his All In tag team partner, Swerve Strickland, came out to the stage to embrace him in a sign of support. The wrestling world now wishes one of its best performers a full and speedy recovery. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Mercedes Mone Gives Savage Response To WWE Fans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone has a clear and savage message for any fans who are still hoping she will one day return to WWE. In a recent social media exchange, "The CEO" emphatically shut down the idea of a comeback. The interaction occurred on Mone's Instagram account. When a fan commented on one of her posts telling her to return to WWE, she did not hold back with her response. Mercedes Mone has made it clear that her focus is entirely on her career in All Elite Wrestling. She responded to the fan with a blunt and direct five-word message. "imma need your ugly ass to watch AEW," Mone wrote. This response reinforces the narrative that has defined her post-WWE career. She is a star who is determined to carve out her own path on her own terms. Before she was "The CEO" in AEW, Mercedes Mone was known to the world as Sasha Banks, one of the most decorated and influential female superstars in WWE history. As one of the "Four Horsewomen," she was a cornerstone of the Women's Revolution, helping to elevate women's wrestling to a main event level. SAN JOSE, CA - Oct. 16: AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné has her arms raised after defeating Queen Aminata on AEW Dynamite SAN JOSE, CA - Oct. 16: AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné has her arms raised after defeating Queen Aminata on AEW Dynamite Ricky Havlik/AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A multi-time champion and a Women's Grand Slam winner in WWE, her legendary feud with Bayley produced some of the most acclaimed matches in the company's history. However, her time with the company came to an abrupt and controversial end in May 2022. In May 2022, while they were the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Mone and her partner Naomi walked out of an episode of Monday Night Raw due to creative frustrations. The move sent shockwaves through the industry and led to a long, contentious period where her future was uncertain. After leaving WWE, Mone proved she could be a major star on a global scale. She had a successful run in Japan, winning the prestigious IWGP Women's Championship. In March 2025, she made her highly anticipated debut for AEW at the Big Business special, where she won the TBS Championship in her first match. Mone has been a dominant champion ever since, and while she recently suffered her first singles loss to Toni Storm at All In, she remains a centerpiece of the AEW women's division. Her response to the fan makes it clear that she has no intention of looking back. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
