After Sonya Deville conspired against Mandy Rose with Dolph Ziggler, Fire & Desire reached its messy end, and the two women are now feuding with each other on Friday nights. However, Rose is also paired with Otis as a manager/girlfriend, and when we had the opportunity to catch up with the Golden Goddess, we asked what her hopes are for a career as a singles star in WWE.
"I've always seen myself as a singles Superstar," she started. "Of course, you can get into a tag team and be both, but I can hold my own, I've had that "X" factor from the very beginning and, you know, to be honest, now that Sonya is out of the picture, I see that SmackDown Women's Championship in my reach and I'm going straight for that."
While she may now be eyeing a run with the SmackDown Women's Championship, we also wondered whether she regrets not having a run with the Women's Tag Team Championships after being part of a tag team for so long.
"I think we'd always hoped to have a run, of course. You always do, but maybe it just wasn't in our cards and wasn't meant to be. As you can see, Sonya and I aren't in a tag team for a reason. She clearly couldn't take the idea of being in my shadow. We were best friends, so I don't know what she's mad at, but the fact that maybe some people saw more of a star in me, that's not my problem. Don't hate the player, hate the game. You just never know."
"Championships really aren't everything," Rose concluded. "A title around your waist doesn't make you...of course, it's nice to have, and it's something we all want to have, but it really doesn't have much to do with the success of your career."
Do you see championship gold in the Golden Goddess' future?
