#3. She signed a five-year contract with WWE
When Sara Lee won the Tough Enough final back in 2015, she signed a one-year developmental deal with WWE that allowed her to train with WWE until her release back in the autumn of 2016.
Despite not winning the competition, WWE offered Mandy Rose a five-year deal which she signed back in 2015. Mandy has since been training at WWE's Performance Centre and has made a number of appearances at NXT Live events before she made her official NXT debut back in September in a losing effort against current NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon.
This was both Mandy's first and last appearance on NXT since she failed to return to the show ahead of her debut on Raw last night.
