One of the most interesting angles heading into this year’s WrestleMania was the love story featuring Otis and Mandy Rose.
Dolph Ziggler and Sonya Deville also got involved in it bringing certain twists and turns. It had a happy ending by the end where the boy got the girl and supposed to live happily ever after.
Mandy Rose spoke with TV Series Hub about how the ongoing storyline with Otis and how it originally came together. The interesting thing revealed during the conversation was that she was the one to approach Vince McMahon about the idea. So we guess Otis was not the one to have a one-sided affection for his ‘peach’.

“Otis always was around in NXT and posting pics of me and talking about how much he liked me,” Mandy Rose recalled. “In a cute way, not a creepy way. This continued on and I thought it would be great if this became a storyline, especially once Otis entered WrestleMania. I actually went to Vince McMahon myself and pitched the idea and he loved it.”
In a separate conversation with Comicbook.com, Mandy Rose revealed that she was enthralled about the overwhelming reactions she received from the WrestleMania 36 storyline,
“We didn’t really know that it was going to be this huge, and it’s really awesome and I’m really grateful and happy about it,” Rose said. “But I really didn’t expect it to be this crazy and such a positive story. And I think in these times too, it’s nice to see such a happy ending for our fans and be able to perform and be able to demonstrate that. So yes, it’s just really cool.”

Mandy Rose also spoke about WWE taping shows during this coronavirus pandemic. Speaking with Comicbook.com, she opined on WWE running shows without a live audience for several weeks including WrestleMania 36, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Rose had some issues adjusting things, at first. But, ultimately she was glad that she could be a part of something to entertain the fans, on a regular basis,
“I think it was definitely a little upsetting at first, but then we realized that we’re just grateful and we’re blessed to be able to even perform still in it,” Rose said. “We’re all about performing and giving our audience and our fans the best entertainment we can. So if I think we’re still able to do that … We don’t want to take this for granted and we just had to do it what we have to do.” (quotes courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
