WWE Superstars Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville On The Expansion of “DaMandyz Donutz” Via Uber Eats, DaMandyz Brand Goals & More

Amanda Rose Saccomanno is perhaps better known to fans around the world as WWE Superstar Mandy Rose, who on October 26, 2021 won the NXT Women’s Championship. As part of fitness competitions early in her career, she took first place in the World Bodybuilding Fitness & Fashion Boston Show in 2013 and World Beauty Fitness & Fashion Bikini Champion in 2014. Saccomanno appeared as a contestant in the 6th season of WWE Tough Enough, and later after becoming part of the full-time WWE roster, she was a main cast member for the 5th season of the E! series Total Divas.

Daria Berenato was a castmate alongside Mandy Rose on the same season of Tough Enough, competing within the MMA world before she signed with WWE. Under the ring name Sonya Deville, she was part of a trio called Absolution, which also consisted of Paige and the aforementioned Mandy Rose. Later, she and Rose became the duo of Fire & Desire. Berenato has also co-hosted the YouTube series, UFC AfterBuzz and has appeared as a main cast member on Season 9 of Total Divas.

Aside from WWE, Amanda Rose Saccomanno and Daria Berenato have found success with their DaMandyz Donutz brand. Last year, the duo hosted a pop-up location of DaMandyz Donutz at The Space in Las Vegas. Since then, DaMandyz has expanded its distribution and can be ordered via Uber Eats customers in the Los Angeles area. Per Mike Jacobs, Kitchen Data Systems CEO, in a prepared statement: “We’re delighted to welcome DaMandyz Donuts to our KitchData brands family. Not only is DaMandyz glamorous and fun, its commitment to inclusion and diversity shines through. The exciting range of flavors developed for their donut line reflects this generous ethos. Daria and Amanda fans will go wild for these delicious treats, as will everyone else served by our KitchPartner Network.”

On July 15, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with both of the co-founders of DaMandyz Donutz — my second interview with Daria Berenato — via Zoom, as embedded below. More on DaMandyz Donutz and its co-founders can be found online by clicking here, here and here.
