It seems that the photo shoots and cover spots just keep on coming for WWE’s Mandy Rose. And now, the SmackDown Live talent is to appear on the cover of the October issue of Australia’s Maxim magazine.

Rose took to Twitter to reveal the news and a look at the cover, while adding that this was a bucket list moment for her.

The 28-year-old – currently one half of the Fire & Desire tag-team with Sonya Deville – is no stranger to gracing magazine covers, of course, for her background in fitness modelling and fitness competition has seen a Mandy Rose cover spot become almost commonplace nowadays.

Under her real name of Amanda Saccomanno, the New York native competed in the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough back in 2015. It was during the season finale of that show where Saccomanno took on the moniker of Mandy Rose as she ending up finishing behind eventual winners Sara Lee and Josh Bredl.

Shortly after said finale, Rose signed a five-year contract with WWE and began competing for the NXT brand in early 2016. It didn’t take long for the ever-improving star to find a place on one of WWE’s main roster shows, with Rose debuting as one third of Absolution in November 2017.
