Mandy Rose's Return To NXT: Is It Permanent? [Theory]

Publish date: 2024-05-21

To the surprise of many, Mandy Rose made a return to NXT on Tuesday night. There was no indication she was headed back to the black and gold brand and no real reason for her to be there. The obvious questions worth asking are, 'Why is she there?' and 'Is her NXT return permanent?'

Rose took to Twitter following her unexpected re-debut on Tuesday and said, "I’m backkkk." The words seem to suggest she's not just returning for a one-off appearance, but back for some sort of program or on a regular basis.

If so, it seems like odd timing. Rose has formed a tag team with Dana Brooke and has been appearing regularly on Raw, beefing with Natalya and Tamina. She's working a program with the Raw Women's Tag Team Champions and it makes absolutely no sense for WWE to abandon that program; certainly if the reason is to have Rose return to a brand she hasn't been connected to in forever.

Rose was part of an exclusive WWE.com interview and when asked why she made her way back to NXT, all she said was, "You'll see." WWE's caption on the video said, "Mandy Rose teases big plans for NXT." It seems odd they would write that if this was something WWE had no plans to move forward with.

Not only that, but because she was seen scouting Sarray, it feels like there's a storyline in the works here.

Rose Pulling Double Duty?

If Rose is coming back to NXT, does that mean her time on Raw is over? If so, what does that mean for Dana Brooke? It could be that WWE plans to have Rose pull double duty for a while, finish of the feud with the Women's Tag Team champions and then make her way to the USA Network for good. It might also mean that Brooke isn't far behind.

What if WWE has decided to split the team of Brooke and Rose? One would think there has to be a reason.
