Mandy Rose Was Originally Scheduled To Win SmackDown Women’s Championship At WrestleMania 35

At WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair made history by headlining WrestleMania for the first time. Flair and Rousey both put their titles on the line for the match, but Becky Lynch walked away with both belts.

Former WWE writer Dave Schilling was rewatching the show while tweeting and sharing notes as the show went on. Those live tweets certainly entertained fans as he watched along.

In one of his tweets, Dave Schilling revealed that Mandy Rose was supposed to beat Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 35 before WWE nixed this plan.

The SmackDown women’s title was supposed to be won by Mandy Rose at this WrestleMania. Instead, we got this famous main event.

At no point did Nia Jax figure into this title match. Nor did I ever see her again after this night. Hope she’s doing well. pic.twitter.com/5USDUEZaQu

Mandy Rose enjoyed a successful reign as NXT Women’s Champion before she dropped the title to Roxanne Perez. Rose was then released from WWE a few hours later for posting adult content on her Fantime page.
