Amanda Rose Saccomanno (born July 18, 1990)[6][7] is an American professional wrestler, television personality, and fitness and figure competitor. She is best known for her tenure in WWE, where she performed under the ring name Mandy Rose, and was a former NXT Women's Champion and the leader of Toxic Attraction.

Rose began a professional fitness competition career in 2013 and became a bodybuilding competitor the following year. In 2015, she placed second on the WWE competition Tough Enough, after which she signed a contract with WWE and joined the cast of the reality television show Total Divas. After a brief stint in WWE's developmental territory, NXT, Rose made her main roster debut in November 2017 as part of the short-lived faction Absolution with Paige and Sonya Deville. For approximately three years, Rose competed alongside Deville and they were known as Fire and Desire. The two disbanded in March 2020 at WrestleMania 36 and eventually had their own feud that culminated in a Loser Leaves WWE match, which Rose won. After a brief association with Dana Brooke in 2021, she returned to NXT and formed an alliance with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, dubbed Toxic Attraction. In October at Halloween Havoc, Rose defeated Raquel González to win her first title in her career, the NXT Women's Championship. She was released from the company in December 2022.
