Former WWE superstar and NXT Woman’s Champion Mandy Rose had once revealed her crush in a podcast. During former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast in December 2020, Mandy revealed that she had a crush on an international celebrity. It was 32-year-old Italian actor, singer and model Michele Morrone.
She said, “Michele Morrone, the one from 365 DNI, the Italian guy. Nobody knows him? He’s really sexy… He’s from Italy, like pure Italian, like he’s a bada** too,”.

Mandy Rose, real name Amanda Rose Saccomanno, is of Irish-Italian descent and was a fitness model earlier.
Rose is engaged to former NXT superstar Tino Sabatelli, and they were dating since 2018. They met each other at the WWE Performance Centre and finally engaged each other in September 2022. Before Sabatelli, she was engaged to a Michael Lubic in 2016, who helped her pursue wrestling as a career. They broke it off later. She was also in a WWE storyline relationship with Otis, which made for many hilarious moments on TV.
Her crush Morrone married Lebanese stylist Rouba Saadeh in 2014 and they separated in 2018.
Why did Mandy Rose leave WWE?
WWE released Mandy last year after she released some videos on a website, FanTime, as a side gig. She was with WWE for seven years since participating in Tough Enough 2015 where she was a finalist. Rose made it to the record books as the longest reigning NXT Women’s champion at 413 days. WWE wove her release into a storyline where she lost the title to Roxanne Perez on an NXT episode. They released her soon after.
Since her release, she has hiked up her subscription charges for her content and has reportedly made over $500,000. It’s more than 3 times of what she was making in WWE. Another former superstar Lana is also a full-time content creator and makes a decent amount off it.
