How She Turned a Side Hustle Into a Global Empire
Summary
– Mandy Rose shares behind-the-scenes details of WWE pay and life as a Superstar
– Reveals how she built her brand beyond wrestling and found financial freedom
– Discusses WWE’s reaction to her outside business ventures
Mandy Rose sets the record straight on life after WWE, revealing how she turned a side hustle into a multi-million-dollar empire. Speaking on the Power Alphas Podcast, Mandy reflected on the financial realities of being a WWE Superstar, the lack of long-term security, and why she took control of her brand.
As an independent contractor, she covered her travel, gear, and expenses while performing over 300 days a year. Despite her success in NXT, her pay didn’t reflect the revenue she was bringing in. That realization led her to explore other ventures, including an exclusive content platform that changed her life.
When WWE abruptly released her in 2022, Mandy said she was shocked but quickly saw it as a blessing. In just 12 days, she made more money than an entire year in WWE. Now, she controls her schedule, brand, and future—something WWE never allowed her to do.
