Report: WWE Traded Mandy Rose & Aliyah Between Raw & NXT

Mandy Rose made a shock return to WWE NXT on Tuesday evening and looks set to make her new home on the black-and-gold brand.

Rose had been a member of the Raw roster in the past few months, teaming with Dana Brooke, but it appears WWE have decided to give her a new platform on NXT.

It appears that Rose's move to the Capitol Wrestling Center was not just a one-way switch however, with WrestleVotes reporting that WWE decided to conduct a trade between the two brands.

With Rose moving from Raw to NXT, the report indicates that Raw acquired Aliyah from NXT in exchange.

It appears Rose's move to NXT caught more than a few people off-guard, with Fightful Select reporting that NXT talent they had spoken to had said they were 'surprised' to see Rose at Tuesday's show.

Aliyah's switch to the WWE main roster is less surprising, however. Fightful's report indicates that she has been tipped for a move to either Raw or SmackDown for the last month after making a good impression on WWE officials during a recent scouting trip to the Performance Center.
