WWE NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose made an appearance on Ryan Satin's "Out of Character" podcast this week. Rose opens up about her character, stating that she's not as arrogant as a real-life wrestling character in NXT.## "That's definitely not me. I'm actually very much the most selfless person. I do a lot for others. I'm very humble. I'm very down to earth. I think that's kind of the biggest takeaway with me when people meet me is that sometimes they look at me as a whole and they see this persona, and the way I present myself, and my looks and all that, and, you know, you can't judge a book by its cover."## She also explained what her thoughts were when she was sent back from the main roster to NXT:## "I didn't even know why I was going to NXT. I'm a firm believer at the end of the day, I looked at it as an opportunity as a new way to kind of rebrand myself. I think we all need to change as we develop and grow. I think for me, it was just a huge opportunity to use this as something that could be really cool. I didn't look at any of the negatives. I think that was a big part of it for me. I think a lot of people if they were to get the call to go back to NXT, they would ask a million questions. They'd be like, why, and it's normal, obviously. But I just literally, I took that call, and I said, 'Okay, sure.' I didn't really ask many questions"## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
