Saccomano explained why the WBFF means so much to her, having welcomed her back “with open arms.”
“The WBFF is where it all began for me. After becoming Bikini World Champion in 2014, so many opportunities came my way, including WWE’s Tough Enough and becoming a WWE Superstar, which I never thought I would become,” Mandy explained.
“That’s why I always tell people to take risks and get out of their comfort zone, because you never know where it’s going to take you or what doors it’s going to open.”
Although she didn’t win the Miss WBFF Bikini World title (she placed second in the bikini division and third in the wellness division!), the former NXT Women’s Champion is happy that she was able to challenge herself by participating in the event.
“It takes a lot of willpower and discipline to compete at that level, so I’m very proud of myself and happy to be back on stage!”
It’s unclear if she plans to take part in 2025, but based on how things went on Sunday, don’t be surprised to see Mandy back on stage once again!
