Mandy Rose Doesn’t Have the Itch to Return to Wrestling Right Now

Amanda Saccomanno, aka former WWE star Mandy Rose, appeared on Busted Open Radio this week to talk about her time in WWE and what she’s doing now.

Saccomanno on if she has the itch to return to the ring:

“So to be honest, I haven’t really got the itch yet. I’m actually a little surprised. I thought that I would get it as we just said coming up on almost a year, but I really haven’t. I do miss certain things. Don’t get me wrong. I miss the camaraderie. I miss my friends over there. I speak to them a lot. I missed that adrenaline rush, of course, but the itch to get out there and wrestle right now, I don’t have it right now. I have to be honest.”

On what she was feeling going into her last match at NXT:

“A lot of mixed feelings. It was a crazy day. I just had so many mixed feelings. I was kind of making jokes about it to be honest. I think that’s my sense of humor. I got that from my dad like, you know, if it’s an uncomfortable situation or there’s just a lot of media and press going on that day which there was, I just kind of kept making jokes with the girls. ‘Like, this is it girls. We’ve had fun’, and they just didn’t believe me and all that, but I just had that feeling.”

“There were a lot of mixed emotions. I was really happy to pass the torch to Roxanne Perez who I’m good friends with and became good friends with. I was really excited for her and to watch her grow, and obviously all the other women that I’ve been working with so much, but it was really bittersweet. I mean, I think, finally when that match was over, you know, I had a standing ovation and I think the crowd felt that as well with what was going on. I really felt it at that moment. I felt, okay, I know I belong here. I know I’ve put my hard work into it, but I think just along my journey of like the whole, like, you know, putting respect on my name and I feel like it took me a while and it took the fans a while to kind of get that feeling like I belong here, and I just feel like finally, that was the moment where I was like, wow. I put the work in regardless of the outcome right now with what’s going on. I think it’s been a hell of a run.”
