In an interview with FOX News, Mandy Rose revealed the names of her favorite icons outside of WWE and the pro wrestling industry, in general.

"I would say, Serena Williams, I've always looked up to [her]. She's just bad-- and I mean, she just speaks volumes, obviously. And I mean, there's just a lot of women out there that, you know, even like JLo [...] she just, you know, looks better and better with age. And she's just a huge influence to young girls that want to be out there in whatever industry it is. Music, entertainment, movies. So it’s just a great time."

The Mandy Rose character is often regarded as a great example of a mash between beauty and athleticism, so it makes sense why she would pick Serena Williams - one of the most inspirational female athletes - and Jennifer Lopez as her favorite role models.

On WWE RAW, Mandy Rose also paid tribute to Trish Stratus, who paved the way for the current generation of female pro wrestlers.

In Sportskeeda's exclusive interview with Mandy Rose, The Golden Goddess called Bayley a big role model for her in WWE.

Rose mentioned that Bayley helped her a lot back in WWE NXT, and the longest combined reigning SmackDown Women's Champion was actually one of Mandy's first matches in NXT at a live event.
