Former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose was one of the most decorated champions in NXT history. But she too had a few embarrassing moments while being a WWE Superstar.
While speaking on a recent episode of the Power Alphas Podcast, the former WWE Superstar opened up about the time when she was struggling to set up a table during her match at WrestleMania.
“That’s really great that you brought that up. You know why? Because there are so many people out there that love to just post that randomly cuz, there’s a video. So, it’s all my fans out there. No, it’s all my fans out there. I’m glad you brought that because I want to tell the story of how it hapened. Well… If we’re going, most embarrassing moments that was definitely one.
“So let me just explain something to you. I practiced. Cuz people don’t realize those tables are heavy. They’re heavy, they’re hard, you’re in the middle of the moment, you’re blown, all these things, that was the worst match of my life. Daria and I both, we both say that was the worst match it was so many things going on in our life, it was very bad. Very bad match.
“But we practiced that match, I practiced that so many times that I was like, ‘Oh I got this.’ And for some reason, I went the wrong way cuz I tried to lift it like that and you just can’t. And then I’m trying to kick it up and I can’t get it up and it’s like moving with me. Danillo the ref who we’re good friends with was trying to help me so bad that he’s like, ‘The other way, the other side,’ He’s trying to tell me, and then he’s telling me it’s getting so bad that it’s taking so long that he’s like, ‘Forget it. F*** the table. Forget it.’ Cuz we weren’t even using it. We were teasing it… It was so freaking embarrassing.”
Mandy Rose on the time she slipped and fell during her WrestleMania entrance
Another embarrassing moment of Mandy Rose was the time she fell during her entrance at WrestleMania 37.
“That was actually worse than me slipping, I think at WrestleMania. Those are top two. But I think that might have been one of the most embarrassing moments of my career. Because people still haunt me with it. They go, ‘Mandy Rose versus the table. WrestleMania 38.’ I think it was trending. ‘Mandy Rose versus the table.’
“When I came back behind the curtain Daria [Sonya Deville] was like, felt bad laughing but she was like, ‘Friend, I hate to say this.’ She’s like, ‘But you’re the worst when people fall. I think that was karma.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah. Karma’s f***** real.’”
“The best was, I was supposed to do something right when I got in but it was basically, it was going to go off of how slippery it was cuz guys, let’s remember, it was pouring raining. It was very slippery, AJ Styles slipped that night. Someone else slipped. I had the best one. But it was an open… No. He [Titus O’Neil] for sure takes the cake with that one. And that was probably another karma reason. I was crying on the floor, Titus fell. Obviously, finding out that he was fine after cuz he was in the ring. I couldn’t… I called so many people, I’m like, ‘Oh my god! Guys, you won’t even believe what it…’ I was just, hysterical,’” Mandy Rose said.
Do you think Mandy Rose failing to set up the table was worse than her slipping on the grandest stage of them all?
