Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have had a big few weeks on SmackDown with the friends teaming up to beat Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a tag match this week and Deville only being bested by Asuka in the Battle Royal the week prior to qualify for the TLC Women’s Championship match.
It’s undeniable that the move to the Blue Brand has cultivated more of a fan base and more TV time for both Rose and Deville, who were both contestants on the WWE reality show Tough Enough. They barely got to wrestle on RAW, usually taking a backseat to Paige as part of the Absolution stable before her in-ring career ended due to injury and she became SmackDown General Manager.
On Saturday, some Twitter trolls took shots at Rose after one fan tweeted in her feed that she and Deville should be in the TLC Women’s Championship match. This sparked Rose to clap back with some great responses to the trolls and eventually led to her getting into it with former SmackDown Women’s Champ Naomi. Here’s how all of those tweets shook out on Rose’s feed:

Right, Mandy sucks so bad that she was barely on NXT for a sip of coffee before being called to the main roster, and quickly making a name for herself. That adds up. I have to wonder what this person’s standards for success are. pic.twitter.com/6gQq1IFAdl

It will be interesting to see if any of this gets addressed on WWE TV. This may be a way to set up some storylines between Rose, Deville, Naomi and Asuka down the line. Though it looked like WWE was exploring a heel turn for Rose on Deville after God’s Greatest Creation eliminated her friend in the Evolution Battle Royal, the two friends seem united again and helping each other climb the ranks of the SmackDown women’s division.
