WWE Superstar Mandy Rose did not become a professional dancer like Naomi and Carmella. However, she spent her high school days in the dancing studio. She even quit all sports to focus on dancing.

Rose went to Iona College to study speech-language pathology and graduated with a bachelor’s degree. After graduating, she pursued a career in fitness and modeling before joining WWE in 2015. The Golden Goddess finished second in Tough Enough behind Sara Lee. Despite this, WWE offered her a contract.

God's Greatest Creation made her way to the main roster in two years. She debuted as part of Absolution alongside her best friend Sonya Deville and Paige. Rose is now part of a tag team alongside Dana Brooke on Monday Night Raw. They are determined to win the Women's Tag Team Championships.

Rose's WWE career did not take her away from dancing. She continues to post dancing clips on TikTok and Instagram for her fans.

The 30-year-old spoke about it in an interview with Fox Sports:

"That’s another thing that I’ve just—it’s a lot of fun, it’s a little addicting, I feel like. I danced my whole life, so I feel like it’s just a cool, fun hobby for me, too, to learn these dances. A lot of them are really hard. And I noticed it’s the biggest, hottest thing going on right now, TikTok, so I’ve gotta be involved in it. It’s another platform we can have for our fans, so it’s been a lot of fun."
