10 Wrestlers Who Could Debut (Or Return) On AEW Collision
4. Mandy Rose
Mandy Rose doesn't need to actively pursue a return to professional wrestling.
Refusing to rule out a WWE comeback has been a rigid statement reassured by Rose in the wake of her 14 December release, telling AEW's Renee Paquette via her Sessions podcast that it wasn't her "main focus". Why should it be? The former WWE star made $1 million in December via FanTime alone! She needn't ever make a return to the squared circle, but it's evident she wants to. Mandy refused to divulge any disgruntlement aimed at WWE to Tamron Hall. Instead, she expressed gratitude and thankfulness to the sports entertainment brand.
A WWE comeback indeed may be in Rose's mind moving forward, although she'd be foolish not to envisage what her future would look like elsewhere. She's the sort of WWE release who'd work deftly in IMPACT Wrestling, as Trinity Fatu seemingly already has, but AEW would benefit most from her.
AEW's women's division, in essence, is entirely contradictory to what Mandy Rose's aura is based on. She's a modernised take on the Diva adage unwillingly forced upon any female WWE talent pre-2015 - which is precisely why she'd thrive in AEW. A solid hand between the ropes and on the microphone, a two-for-one concept scarce to AEW-contracted talent, Rose is the missing piece of the puzzle for a complete AEW women's roster.
