On Talking Smack, The Miz revealed that Mandy Rose was traded from SmackDown to Monday Night RAW, which WWE later confirmed. Over the past few months, fans have seen many changes to Mandy Rose's character. The popular Superstar turned face when she started her relationship with Mr. Money in the Bank, Otis.
Recently, Mandy Rose's lengthy storyline with her former friend Sonya Deville came to a close at SummerSlam. Rose defeated Deville in a No Disqualification, Loser Leaves WWE match.
Since the start of 2020, Deville has been tormenting Rose after The SmackDown Hacker revealed that she was the person who secretly sabotaged Rose and Otis' first date. The rivalry bubbled on over a few months, building to a head when Deville attacked Rose backstage on SmackDown and cut her hair, which set up their match at SummerSlam.
Now that Mandy Rose's move to RAW has been confirmed, here are five Superstars that could be her potential opponents.
#5. Bianca Belair vs. Mandy Rose
Since she moved to RAW in the spring, Bianca Belair has bounced between storylines with the Street Profits and teaming with the Riott Squad. Having Belair and Mandy Rose become involved in a feud could be a great way to establish a new direction for them on RAW.
Fans haven't seen Bianca Belair and Mandy Rose cross paths much in the past. In the Royal Rumble, Rose was one of Belair's many eliminations during the match. Maybe Mandy Rose will want to prove herself against the EST of WWE after this?
Currently, both Belair and Rose are firm favorites amongst WWE fans. Reports suggest that Belair is a Superstar that Vince McMahon is planning to push in the future. Pitting her against The Golden Goddess of WWE would be a perfect way to bring them both to the forefront on Monday Night RAW.
#4. Billie Kay vs. Mandy Rose
On the episode of RAW after Payback, The IIconics split following a stipulation match against the Riott Squad where the losing team would be forced to disband. After The IIconics broke up, Billie Kay appeared on RAW with a new look, a new theme, and a little bit of a different attitude.
Now that Mandy Rose has moved to RAW, establishing a rivalry between her and Kay could have the potential to showcase them both as stars on Monday nights. During their time in tag teams, Mandy Rose and Billie Kay occasionally met in the ring. The stars faced off against each other's teams, participating in matches for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
Kay and Rose have had similar backstories in WWE. Both were established on RAW and SmackDown as one part of a best friendship/tag team that eventually broke up. Could these similarities lead Billie Kay and Mandy Rose to take out their frustrations on one another on Monday Night RAW?
#3. Peyton Royce vs. Mandy Rose
On Monday Night RAW, The IIconics have shockingly split up, leaving Peyton Royce a new singles star. There are rumors that Peyton Royce is a current superstar that Vince McMahon is looking to push. Moving Mandy Rose to RAW to engage in a feud with the star would be a great way to start this run.
Similar to Mandy Rose, Royce has been well-known for being one half of a WWE tag team that was also best friends. Royce and Rose's past teams, The IIconics and Fire & Desire have met previously in the ring to contend for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
Mandy Rose has been working as a face since rejected her partner Sonya Deville, and The IIconics have pretty much always been villains. Peyton Royce has seemed to be a little bit more selfish following the split. She demonstrated when she thew Billie Kay into the action on RAW Underground, allowing her to be knocked out by Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir.
Having Peyton Royce and Mandy Rose come to blows could be a useful way to cement their current characters, and set them up as big stars on the RAW roster.
#2. Mickie James vs. Mandy Rose
Mickie James returned to RAW a month ago and immediately sunk her teeth into a feud with Natalya and Lana. James displayed her strength in the ring when she teamed up with the current RAW Women's Champion, Asuka, to defeat the duo.
There has been a little bit of history between James and Mandy Rose. The pair have previously competed against each other as part of the traditional Five-on-Five Elimination match at Survivor Series where Rose pinned James. In contrast James was the performer who managed to eliminate Rose in the Women's Battle Boyal at WrestleMania 35, scuppering her chances to win the trophy.
At the moment, Mickie James is a part of the title picture on RAW, after earning a shot at Asuka's RAW Women's Championship. There could be potential to establish a rivalry between Mandy Rose and James here. For example, Rose could become involved in the championship match between Mickie James and Asuka and prevent James from winning.
Both Mickie James and Mandy Rose are well-liked among fans in WWE. Bringing them to the forefront of the action on Monday Night RAW could elevate them to both become top stars of the red brand.
#1. Asuka vs. Mandy Rose
At the moment, Asuka is the RAW Women's Champion after she regained her title from Sasha Banks at SummerSlam. Asuka has been regarded as one of the most entertaining stars of the pandemic era of WWE.
Mandy Rose is also a Superstar that has been widely praised for her work in WWE in 2020. Could she be next in line to challenge Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship?
Over the years, Mandy Rose and Asuka have come head-to-head numerous times in their WWE careers. As a part of Fire & Desire on SmackDown, Rose and her partner, Sonya Deville, challenged Asuka to a match for her SmackDown Women's Championship, which they lost. They have also met in the ring in matches for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship when Asuka was one-half of The Kabuki Warriors.
In her previous efforts, Rose has come up short against Asuka, narrowly missing out on her first championship win. These losses against The Empress of Tomorrow could have turned The Golden Goddess' feelings about the Superstar rather sour. Seeing Mandy Rose step up to challenge Asuka on RAW would certainly establish her a big star of the red brand.
