Former WWE star Mandy Rose is refusing to rule out the prospect of a jump to AEW in the future. In fact, the ex-NXT Women's Champion told fans on 'Power Alphas' that "there's no reason I'm not there - I just haven't decided on if I'm returning to wrestling right now".

Rose followed that up by saying she adopts a "never say never" attitude when it comes to this sort of thing. She also added that wrestling fans would be the "first to know" her next move. Mandy earned rave reviews for her work on NXT leading the Toxic Attraction group, so there would be some interest to see what she'd be capable of on All Elite's side.

Of course, Tony Khan's roster is bursting at the seams, so Mandy would have to weigh that up too. She presumably wouldn't sign on the dotted line to be a bit-part player, and would need assurances that AEW would use her correctly. That's all conjecture though.

For now, Rose isn't tied to a major company. She hasn't actually wrestled a match since dropping the NXT Women's belt to Roxanne Perez on the brand's 13 December 2022 broadcast. Mandy was fired by WWE shortly after that.

Her next move should be very interesting.
