10 Recent Wrestling Moments That Shook The World
6. Mandy Rose Is Fired From WWE
Ending the year with yet another shocking headline, the news of Mandy Rose suddenly being released partway through December left many scratching their heads.
Rose had been reigning as NXT Women's Champion for an age before being bested by Roxanne Perez on the night of December 13, with this booking decision and her release coming in the wake of the company feeling the star's content on her FanTime page had fallen "outside the parameters" of her WWE contract.
Despite WWE seemingly being all too happy to repost images such as Rose posing wearing nothing but her title straps, the company clearly felt that their "independent contractor" had somehow crossed a line with the nature of the content she'd been earning money from via her FanTime page. And this odd call to suddenly fire the Toxic Attraction leader soon resulted in WWE being blasted by both fans and many members of the wrestling business.
Rose appears to have had the last laugh, though.
Less than a week on from her high-profile departure, it was reported that Rose's page had made her a staggering $500,000, with it being said that there was a solid chance she'd be a FanTime millionaire by Christmas.
