Rosemary Looks Back On WWE NXT Debut, Says She Was Worried People Wouldn’t Know Who She Was

Rosemary was concerned before her music hit.

In August 2024, former TNA Knockouts Champion Rosemary made her WWE debut on the weekly NXT show. She squared off against Kelani Jordan in singles competition.

While appearing on Counted Out, Rosemary looked back on that experience. She shared that she was worried people wouldn’t know who she was.

“Yes, it was fascinating. That’s like the exact point we were going to touch on too because you never know how far your influence spreads; your reach is beyond the realm that you’ve set yourself up in. We’ve been in TNA for 10 years now, as you mentioned and you’re never really sure if people are aware of you outside of that, outside of that bubble, outside of that scope. It might just be people who only watch TNA so to walk out at NXT as a surprise, and no lead-up, no prep work, no nothing that people could go and do research on, and perhaps look up to see who’s coming over, and walked out as a surprise and have that kind of reception, there was a moment backstage — much like we talked about with The Bunny thinking people maybe forgot her — we were standing backstage right before we were about to reveal ourselves and wondering what if nobody knows who we are? Wouldn’t that be a bit embarrassing? And then the music hit and all of the humans erupted and it was very — do you know this doesn’t happen very often? But it was very humbling.”

Present day, Rosemary is in the midst of a storyline in TNA during which she is collecting the seven sins. The latest on that can be read here.
