#2 Mandy Rose becomes a new authority figure in NXT
Moving Mandy Rose to NXT was definitely a shocking decision. However, it could be leading to something even more surprising. Samoa Joe was attacked by Karrion Kross on NXT this week, leading fans to believe the Samoan Submission Machine is cleared and ready for war.
If that's the case, and Joe might be moving away from the authority role he has with NXT GM William Regal, it leaves somewhat of an opening. I'm not saying Rose will be the enforcer that Joe has been in recent weeks. That being said, she could work with Regal the way her former best friend Sonya Deville does with Adam Pearce.
That's...actually an interesting parallel that could even lead to something special at an event like Survivor Series where Rose wants to prove something against Deville with their rosters.
#1 Mandy Rose joins the Robert Stone Brand
The easiest way to handle Mandy Rose's transition to NXT would be to place her in the slot that Aliyah left this past week. Aliyah walked away from Robert Stone after attacking him, claiming that she'd done more for him than he'd ever done for her.
On that same show, we saw Mandy Rose run into a new version of the Robert Stone Brand that, apparently, had Franky Monet in charge. With Monet and Jessie Kamea looking to revamp the stable, adding an established star like Mandy Rose would do wonders for them.
Mandy Rose and Franky Monet shared a glance that seemed to imply they were interested in working together, and they would work incredibly well off of each other. Their characters revolve around their looks. They're both blonde bombshells, and they're both incredibly dangerous.
Seriously, if you haven't seen much of Franky Monet's work outside of NXT you're in for a treat. And if you're downplaying Mandy Rose's in-ring ability, you're just fooling yourself. Add in Jessie Kamea...and probably eliminate Robert Stone, and you've got a deadly trio right there.
