Women's wrestling has changed a lot since the advent of the Women's Revolution. The female performers aren't just used as eye-candy, which was a norm, particularly in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. The characters are more wrestling oriented and it's not just about the glitz and glam anymore. The generation of the Divas is well and truly a thing of the distant past.
Mandy Rose, however, is a throwback to the old days.
Billed as 'God's Greatest Creation', Rose has also grown to be an underrated in-ring worker, but she is predominantly pushed as the attractive lady that men drool over in the realms of the WWE.
Her current storyline with Otis and Dolph Ziggler is one of the hottest angles in the company and Rose's stock has grown as a result of it.
While the WWE Universe is used to seeing Rose light up our TV screens every week, there are many different avatars of the SmackDown Superstar that the fans are still not familiar with.
In this slideshow, we take a look at those rare photos of Mandy Rose that the fans may not have seen.
#6. Mandy Rose and her ex-fiancé
The love triangle on SmackDown has brought up questions about Rose's love life outside WWE.
Rose was in a long-term relationship with Michael Lubic, and the couple was also engaged at one point in time. The SmackDown Superstar posted many photos with Lubic on Instagram long before she became a household name amongst the WWE Universe.
Lubic helped Rose out with her workouts and the relationship was going steady until they split a few years ago, after which, Rose began dating a NXT Superstar.
While Rose has moved on and is focussing on her WWR career, Lubic too is in a good space, which is evident from his Instagram activity.
#5. Mandy Rose before WWE
These days, the social media profiles of the WWE Superstars and other personalities mostly contain well-edited and filtered images. The talents are at their captivating best in the photos that easily get thousands of likes and retweets. However, before the Superstars got a taste of WWE fame, they were all normal people who had photos just like us ordinary folks.
Even God's Greatest Creation has a bunch of photos in which she looks unrecognizable. And we're not exaggerating. She really does look different in these rare clicks.
It's from a time when Mandy Rose was really young and was yet to become a full-time fitness competitor.
As time passed, Rose got into bodybuilding and she also underwent a few cosmetic surgeries along the way and she transformed into the woman she is today.
We also came across a photo of Rose as an adorable child and we must say, she was born with the gift to pose for the cameras. Take a look for yourself and you'd know what we're talking about
#4. A masterclass from Chris Jericho
Mandy Rose was an active fitness and bodybuilding competitor before she shifted her attention to professional wrestling as a viable career.
Rose was one of the contestants of WWE's Tough Enough series in 2015 and she was one of the top prospects on the show. She narrowly missed out on the winning the show as she was a runner-up behind Sara Lee. Despite falling short of the lucrative win, Rose was offered a five-year contract as the WWE saw a lot of potential in her.
During her stint on Tough Enough, Rose got to pick the brains of many seasoned veterans, who showed up on the series as guests. Chris Jericho was one of the hosts of the sixth season and he paid close attention to the development of the contestants on the show.
In the photo above, Jericho can be seen sharing some valuable tips with Rose and eventual winner Sara Lee.
Jericho was a regular fixture on the sixth and final season of the show, which also gave the WWE popular Superstars such as Patrick Clark AKA Velveteen Dream, Daria Berenato AKA Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green.
#3. Trish Stratus 2.0
After an impressive showing on Tough Enough, Mandy Rose was signed up by WWE and she was sent to the Performance Center for further training.
Rose would make her NXT debut in January 2016 at a house show in Venice and she would continue to wrestle at live events before making her TV debut in August that year.
WWE NXT's Instagram handle uploaded a photo of Mandy Rose and Vanessa Borne in September 2017 and the fans were quick to point out the stark similarity between Rose and Trish Stratus.
The WWE Hall of Famer also commented on the photo and admitted that she thought it was her when seeing the image for the first time.
We don't blame her as Rose looks like a legitimate doppelganger in the photo above. Stratus and Rose even posed for a photo when they caught up with each other during an evening.
While there may never be another Trish Stratus in the WWE, Mandy Rose comes closest to being the second coming of the 7-time Women's Champion in terms of looking the part.
#2. Mama's girl
Mandy Rose's Instagram handle has countless posts and unless you spend the time to scroll down until the end, you'd surely miss out on a few gems. There are over 2000 posts on her Instagram and we won't blame you if you haven't seen them all.
Rose put this one up on Mother's day in May 2018 and she shared an old photo of herself in her mother's arms with a very well-thought-out caption.
Rose grew up with three older brothers and her mother naturally had a tough time raising four children, however, Mary Rose did a fine job and she would be proud of her daughter's achievements thus far.
Rose shares a very close bond with her mother and that's unsurprising, to say the least, as you'd find various posts of the mother and daughter on social media.
The Instagram account of Rose's mom mostly has photos of the two and you may fancy following her as well because why the heck not!
#1. Mandy Rose with Tino Sabatelli
Rose confirmed in April 2018 during an appearance on Lillian Garcia's podcast that she was dating NXT Superstar Tino Sabbatelli.
Rose and Sabbatelli met each other while working in NXT and fell for each other while getting a hang of the fine details of being a sports entertainer.
The couple even appeared together at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony during WrestleMania 34 weekend, which solidified their relationship in the eyes of the fans.
It's been a long time since their first public appearance and we don't know whether the couple is still together right now.
Tino Sabbatelli joined WWE around the same time as Mandy Rose in 2015. Despite being in the company for five years, the former NFL player has not been able to break through the ranks in the Black and Gold brand and he is currently on a hiatus recovering from an injury.
While Rose has grabbed all the headlines for her on-screen relationships, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding her love interest outside the company.
