Mandy Rose Didn’t Think WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles Would Actually Happen

In an interview with Fightful, Mandy Rose spoke about the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles, something that she wasn’t sure would actually happen in WWE. Here are highlights:

On trying out for Tough Enough: “The craziest, training I have ever been involved in and I’ve been training for a while now, in body building and fitness stuff. It was just something I’ve never ever experienced before, but it was great ‘cause it taught me a lot. It pushed me to my absolute limit and I’m actually grateful for it because it’s like, if I got through that, I can get through anything.”

On if her and Sonya Deville pushed for their team to remain together: “No, we didn’t go to anyone. I think everyone knew we wanted to stay together. I think it just happened that way. And it was just in the plans of “we’re still a tag team, with or without Paige.” She was a big part of it, but we can work on our own now. And build our characters as individual characters but also as a tag team.”

On the WWE Women’s tag team titles: “It was one of those things that we just didn’t know if it was really going to happen. It was a rumor, you hear things, and then I was like “I think it’s really gonna happen.” I mean, look at the women trailblazing and pushing down those barriers and raising the bars. I feel like, why wouldn’t it happen? So, we were really excited when that was announced.”
