Mandy Rose hints at bikini-contest return 10 years after being world champ
Former WWE world champion Mandy Rose has teased a return to bikini contests by posting a series of raunchy snaps of herself on social media.
The star, 33, posed in a two-piece in her Instagram pictures and wrote alongside them: “Seeing if I still got it… It’s been 10 years since I competed … you guys think I should step back on stage?!”
Mandy – whose full name is Amanda Rose Saccomanno – remains best known for her WWE career, but she’s also made a name for herself as a telly personality and a fitness expert, and back in 2014 she was crowned the World Beauty Fitness & Fashion Bikini Champion.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, Mandy’s fans piled in with their support after she posted her tease.
“Mandy you are always strong women but you are sweet … love you Mandy, my rose,” was one response.
Another poster wrote: “My favorite WWE NXT Women Divas IS Mandy Rose,” while a third reply was simply: “Hell ya you should.”
One of her followers wrote: “Go for it Mandy, I have confidence in you,” although the praise was not universal, with one person replying: “You are getting too thin. You are starting to lose what made you, Mandy!”
It shouldn’t come as huge news that Mandy remains popular. When she started to sell her match-worn gear on eBay last year, some of it went for a fortune.
She was sacked by WWE in 2022 after posting raunchy content on a site behind a paywall, and that material was then leaked online.
But when she started to sell some of her clobber, it showed she still had a big fan base.
One item that did particularly well was the red PVC outfit she wore during a title match when she was NXT Women’s Champion.
“I know one of my greatest fans will take good care of it, so please treasure it and hold it close in remembrance of my amazing 413-day title reign,” she said at the time.
