As airspeed increases, level the wings and accept that the nose will rapidly rise again.
If you roll a widebody transport 90 degrees and drop the nose far enough below the horizon to make airspeed rapidly increase you would have to be trading quite a bit of altitude.
Might work at 10,000 feet but I don't think you'd have enough room to perform a maneuver like that right after takeoff.
