It is hard for most people to find a job just after getting fired from their previous one. It is even harder to replicate the same numbers on their balance sheet. Not for former WWE star Mandy Rose, though.

Less than a fortnight after being booted out by the pro wrestling giant, the former NXT Women’s champion has reportedly made a decent amount of money.

For the unversed, Rose was earning money from her exclusive FanTime content. However, the red flag was raised after the company deemed Rose’s post violated her contract.

Well, the joke’s on WWE. The “racy” content that the promotion thought was risky for their business has fuelled Rose’s economic growth. According to her agent, Malki Kawa, Mandy Rose has earned $500,000 from FanTime.

The agent told TMZ Sports that she earned that money following her WWE exit. He also predicted a millionaire status for the 32-year-old star by Christmas.

Meanwhile, there have been reports of Rose shutting down her stream if she wasn’t tipped $400.

Former wrestler behind Mandy Rose’s exit

Hours before being removed from the company, Rose dropped her championship belt, which she held onto for 413 days, to Roxanne Perez.

This wasn’t supposed to happen initially. It was a hasty match that WWE Vice President of Talent Development, Shawn Michaels, had to rewrite. However, it was a former superstar who tipped Michaels about the changing nature of Rose’s subscription service.

According to the Wrestling Observer, Matt Bloom, the head of training at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, flagged Rose. Bloom worked under the gimmicks Albert and A-train as an active wrestler in WWE.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter told Wrestling Observer Radio that the WWE “believe that they had absolutely no choice but to get rid of her”.

Rose, while thanking the WWE, has assured her exclusive content fans of keeping the service on. “Hey guys, thank you for all the messages. I am overwhelmed with all the love and support from you guys. And don’t worry the page is still up!” she said in a new FanTime post, according to Inside the Ropes.

The Hall of Famer has also pulled out Rose’s agent for disclosing her income. “You really must have the dumbest agent in the world for him to be reporting how much money you make.” He urged him to state his cut from the reported $500,000.
