WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT commentator Booker T believes that Mandy Rose's return to NXT saved her career.
Rose spent about two years in developmental before moving to the main roster in 2017 as part of Absolution alongside Sonya Deville and Paige. The 32-year-old had a four-year run on SmackDown and Monday Night Raw. However, Rose returned to NXT in July 2021, where she has been holding the NXT Women's Championship for over 400 days.
In the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T pointed out how Rose's return to NXT saved her career. He said that she needed more preparation to be on the main roster.
"I think this time in NXT, she needed that more than anything because she would have failed, she would have failed on the main roster just because she wasn't prepared for the thing. This prep work over these last 400 days has put her in a position like, you know, she never could imagine, you know, the difference in the way she's gonna feel now opposed to, you know, so yeah," he explained.
