![]() I wanted to switch it up with my character. I'm going to keep it this way for a little while. Then I went back and kept it blonde and then now brunette, so I feel like I've had a lot of changes with hair. I got my hair cut on national television by my former best friend and former tag team partner (Sonya Deville). I laugh because the last couple of years, I went from blonde, long hair to short. I'm always working on my in-ring skills and everything else that comes along with it.ĭAZN: What made you want to switch the hair color from blonde to brunette? Was it more of a personal decision or a professional decision? I didn't have a bunch of years of experience. But I think it also lit a fire under my ass just to keep working on myself. My whole confusion was, why can’t I look this good and fight this good as well? So many women in the past had like Trish Stratus, a perfect example of someone being hot as hell but can kick ass in the room. I was very determined to show them because I knew that I could do this. I felt like it was always an uphill battle. MR: I don't think it bothered me in the beginning so much because, like you just said, trying to prove them wrong. I’m actually loving the dark hair, and I think I even look hotter.ĭAZN: Did that stigma bother you that you were just you're viewed through one lens and not viewed with a wider scope, or do you just take it with a grain of salt with the premise of just going out there and proving people wrong? I want it to be made clearer to people and let them show them that, and it sounds kind of silly because it's like, ‘Oh, it's just a hair color change,’ which I'm still beautiful, and I still look hot. I want people to recognize and respect the work I've put in inside and outside the ring. I'm tired of everyone saying she's just a hot blonde. ![]() Coming off Tough Enough, it was all about my looks, but I don't want it to just always be about my looks. But sometimes finding new avenues and new ways to present yourself is because I've always been known as the “Golden Goddess and God's Greatest Creation”, and if you think about it, those names are based off of my looks. It's just the beginning.ĭAZN: I noticed when you cut the promo last week that it seems like you have newfound confidence being back in NXT. The whole new brand of NXT 2.0 and Mandy 2.0, it's all coincides. I have a little bit more creative say as well, which is really cool. So I wanted to switch things up a little bit. It’s rebranding my character a little bit. So I feel like why not come and help some of these women, whether it's anything related to WWE, or whether it's the way they dress, the way they look, the way they present themselves, the way they are perceived, the way they speak in interviews, and the list goes on and on. But when it comes to mainstream qualities, I have a lot of those. I don't have the most experience in wrestling compared to some of the women and a lot of the women in all of WWE. Like I said in my promo last week, they needed a mainstream superstar to be able to help some of the women evolve. MR: Sometimes switching it up is always good. A lot of fans were perplexed and like, ‘What's going on here’? What led to the process of you going from Raw to back to NXT? I'm not going to lie.ĭAZN: You went from Raw where you were really gaining some steam, and then you ended up back in NXT. I feel like I need to pick up golf because I feel like I'm a little bit of a natural. I picked up some little pointers real quick, and I got two birdies. I had a crash course when I got there by Tom Henderson. I’m not going to lie, but actually, I'm not that bad of a golfer. Long story short, I made it there and played in the Celebrity Cup. Then they came back, and they were like, ‘Well, it's okay’. So it was through a connection a friend had asked me if I golf. A lot funner than I really anticipated only because I never golfed before in my life. Mandy Rose: Honestly, it was the most amazing experience ever. How did you get involved in being involved with the Celebrity Ryder Cup? (Editor's note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.)ĭAZN: You got to be involved in a once-in-a-lifetime event last week. #WeAreNXT /OJO9lgt8Mm- WWE NXT September 28, 2021Before the title match, Rose sat down with DAZN to talk about her experience at this past weekend's Ryder Cup, the stigma she's had to overcome in WWE, and the confidence she's gained her return to NXT.
