Mandy Rose Criticizes WWE for Ignoring Her Dual Championship Status

Mandy Rose's Legacy in WWE NXT

Mandy Rose made a significant mark during her time in WWE NXT, particularly with a notable title reign. She was recognized as a key figure in boosting ratings during the NXT 2.0 era and achieved the status of a dual champion, a feat that WWE has seemingly overlooked.

Currently, WWE is attributing the title of the first-ever NXT Women’s double champion to Stephanie Vaquer, which is inaccurate. A viral post highlighted Mandy Rose's achievement of holding two titles simultaneously in NXT, yet WWE has chosen to promote Vaquer as the record-holder instead.

In response, Mandy Rose expressed her disappointment on social media, labeling WWE as 'pretty pathetic' for failing to acknowledge their own history. This reaction was sparked by a meme showcasing her with both the NXT Women’s and NXT UK Women’s Championships, while Vaquer was being celebrated as the first double champion.

“Haha yea it’s pretty pathetic isn’t it!! Thanks for the recognition tho! Appreciate you!!” Mandy Rose commented on the meme, showing gratitude to her fans for their support.

Clarifying Mandy Rose's Championship Status

Despite the controversy, it's important to clarify that Mandy Rose did win the NXT UK Women’s Title in a unification match, which combined it with the NXT Women’s Title, effectively retiring the former UK championship. This means she was not technically a dual champion at that moment, as she held a unified title.

On the other hand, Stephanie Vaquer, the current Women’s North American Champion, defeated Giulia, the NXT Women’s Champion, to become a double champion during the NXT Roadblock 2025 event, where both titles remained active. In the March 25 episode of WWE NXT, Vaquer defended both titles successfully.

While Mandy Rose's unification win is a significant part of WWE history, it is essential to note that she did not have a dual title defense during her tenure and left WWE as the third-longest-reigning NXT Women’s Champion ever.
