Former WWE Superstars Mandy Rose (Amanda Rose Saccomanno) and Tino Sabbatelli (Sabatino "Sabby" Piscitelli) were married on Saturday in front of guests that included Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Rashad Evans and a host of wrestlers including NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez, Sonya Deville and Cora Jade.

Erin Clack and Emily Strohm of People Magazine delivered the exclusive on the wedding at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens in East Brunswick, New Jersey, which welcomed 215 guests.

Saccomanno wrestled for WWE from 2015-2022, first emerging on the scene after finishing second on Tough Enough in 2015. Saccomanno wrestled for NXT for two years before being called up to the main roster in 2017.

She stayed there for five years before heading back to NXT, where she won the Women's Championship and held it for 413 days before dropping the belt to Perez on December 14. Rose was released the next day after WWE believed content she posted on her FanTime page was "outside of the parameters" of her contract, per Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp. However, Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live (h/t Subhojeet Mukherjee of Ringside News) reported in December 2022 there was a "possibility down the road" she could be welcomed back to WWE.

Ultimately, Saccomanno was clearly one of the most successful Tough Enough contests in the show's history, authoring a seven-year run with the promotion and winning a major title.

Piscitelli played safety in the NFL for five seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs (2007-2011). He landed with Tampa Bay after a great career with Oregon State, earning first-team All-Pac-10 honors in 2006. The Bucs took him with a second-round pick in 2007.

He finished his career with 190 tackles (career-high 80 for the 2009 Bucs) and five interceptions.

Piscitelli signed with WWE in 2014 and made his television debut with NXT in 2016. He stayed with NXT until April 2020, when he was released from his contract. He appeared briefly with AEW before returning to WWE. Piscitelli was released again in 2021.

A honeymoon in the Maldives and starting a family is next for the happy couple.

"We are ready to take that next step and start a family," Saccomanno told People. "We both have been through a lot during our professional sports careers, so we have sacrificed a ton throughout the years where we now know it was all worth it for the life we live today together."
