While the door is reportedly open for a future return, Mandy Rose and WWE seem to have parted ways for now, with speculation that Rose has decided she's making too much money with her third-party revenue sources like FanTime to keep going in WWE. A WWE Hall of Famer and opinionated performer in Booker T suggests Rose is getting some terrible advice in making this career shift and in sharing his financial success.
Booker T spoke about Rose's departure from WWE during his "Hall Of Fame" Podcast with Brad Gilmore. He suggested that Rose is making the wrong decision when it comes to prioritizing her FanTime account over her WWE career. Suggesting that the risque content she's putting on her platform has only a short shelf life in which to make her money, and she'll likely come to regret the decision. More than that, Booker thinks it's a huge strategic mistake for her agent to be publicly talking about how much Rose is making off of the platform.
According to her agent, Malki Kawa, Rose is projected to make $1 million dollars by Christmas. Booker says, "You've got to have the dumbest agent in the world for him to be reporting how much money you've been making." He added, "That makes no sense. Why don't he put how much 'Uncle Sam' is taking out of it as well? You know what I mean? As well as what his cut is?" Not to mention, Booker is a bit suspicious that those financial numbers are accurate. He notes, "She's gonna have to do a whole lot of naked photos, okay? I'm just being right straight up, okay?"

Booker Thinks It's A Bad Career Strategy
He says, "'Fast' money goes fast." While he acknowledges that times are changing and money can be made on these platforms, how long will that money continue to roll in once fans have seen what they want and then don't need to see anything else? He explains, "I don't get the allure or what's the bait here other than it's a naked woman and it's a certain person. It's a lot of fixation in the world and again, this world we're living in today. It's a lot of followers, maybe that's it."
