Nearly three years after her surprising WWE release, former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose’s WWE return remains a hot topic, with current NXT standout Jacy Jayne expressing strong belief that the former Toxic Attraction leader will eventually step back into the ring with WWE[2]. Jayne recently shared her thoughts during an interview with Steve Fall on Ten Count Media, stating, “Yeah, probably. I feel like…everybody eventually makes their way back here. I know Mandy. If the opportunity was right, the story was right, all the stars aligned, yes. For sure”[2].

Mandy Rose’s WWE Departure and Wrestling Hiatus

Mandy Rose, born Amanda Rose Saccomanno, had a decorated WWE run that included a 413-day reign as NXT Women’s Champion and leadership of the popular faction Toxic Attraction[4]. However, her WWE tenure abruptly ended in December 2022, reportedly due to controversy surrounding adult-themed content she posted on her personal FanTime subscription account—a platform where she reportedly earned over a million dollars in a single month[1][3].

Since then, Rose has largely stepped away from active wrestling but remains a prominent figure in both fitness and media circles. When asked in early 2025 about her in-ring return, she gave a candid, open-ended response admitting she wasn’t sure when or if she’d wrestle again but hinted at possible unfinished business in the ring[1].

“I feel like there may be some unfinished business in the ring of Mandy Rose and especially how things ended. However, I don’t also know… I’m really enjoying my life right now and all the opportunities I have and everything that I’m doing outside of wrestling”[1].

Jacy Jayne’s Perspective: A Potential Teacher vs. Student Showdown?

Jacy Jayne, a rising star in WWE’s NXT brand and current TNA Knockouts Champion, furthered the intrigue by suggesting that a future showdown between her and Mandy Rose could be compelling. Responding to interviewer Steve Fall’s idea of a “teacher versus student” storyline, Jayne confidently remarked, “I’ve grown a lot since she left so let’s see if she can keep up now”[2].

Jayne’s belief not only underscores Rose’s continuing influence in WWE circles despite her absence but also highlights the dynamic evolution taking place among women’s wrestlers in NXT[2].

Fans and Industry Reaction

Mandy Rose’s absence has not gone unnoticed by fans, especially around major WWE events. In July 2025, she posted a tongue-in-cheek video commenting on her lack of invitation to WWE’s all-women’s event, Evolution 2, emphasizing with humor that WWE “can’t afford me anyway” while expressing support for the show[3]. This post reflected ongoing speculation about her WWE status, adding fuel to conversations about if—and when—she might return to the company.

Industry insiders echo Jacy Jayne’s belief in a possible comeback. Fightful’s report notes the general consensus that “everybody eventually makes their way back” to WWE and views Rose as one of those talents likely to return if circumstances align properly[2].

What’s Next for Mandy Rose?

While Mandy Rose remains non-committal publicly about her wrestling future, the combination of fan interest, peer confidence, and her undeniable talent leaves her WWE return a genuine possibility. WWE continues to build momentum around NXT and its women’s division; bringing back a familiar and popular star such as Rose could be a strategic move to boost storylines and viewership further.

In the meantime, Jayne is focused on her own championship defenses, including an upcoming match at NXT Heatwave, but she appears mentally prepared for the day Rose walks back through WWE’s doors[2].

Summary of Key Points:

• Mandy Rose was released from WWE in December 2022 due to controversy over her FanTime content but remains a figure of interest in pro wrestling[1][3][4].
• Rose herself has described her future in wrestling as open-ended but acknowledges a sense of unfinished business[1].
• Jacy Jayne, WWE NXT Women’s Champion, strongly believes Mandy Rose will return to WWE if the timing and opportunity are right, stating, “Everybody eventually makes their way back here”[2].
• The possibility of a compelling “teacher vs. student” storyline between Jayne and Rose adds further excitement around Mandy’s potential comeback[2].
• Fans continue to engage with Rose’s public persona, with recent social media posts keeping hopes alive for her WWE return[3].

According to sources close to WWE and interviews with current roster members, Mandy Rose’s eventual WWE return is viewed as a viable and impactful prospect, contingent on both storyline suitability and Rose’s personal readiness. As Jacy Jayne aptly puts it, the stage is set, and only time will tell if the stars align for one of WWE’s most talented female stars to make her triumphant return.
