Female WWE Stars Plotting Their Exit to OnlyFans After Building Name on TV

A growing number of female wrestlers are reportedly turning their time in the spotlight into a stepping stone for something far more profitable—OnlyFans.

With major names like Mandy Rose and Elayna Black (formerly Cora Jade) pulling in massive money on the platform, others are now carefully crafting similar exits after building their name on television.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this is no longer just a side hustle—it’s becoming a calculated business move behind the scenes.

“This will be the new path for many women who are attractive and will get more common—learn to wrestle, make it onto TV, build a fan base, and start the OnlyFans,” Meltzer wrote. “There are women already planning their exits and others who know it’s there.”

This new strategy flips the traditional model on its head. Instead of aiming for long-term wrestling careers, some are seeing TV deals as brand-building tools to unlock major cash online. Once they’ve made their mark with a fan base, they’re cashing out—sometimes before they’ve even reached their full potential in the ring.

Meltzer added that these plans are far from improvised. For those at the top of the earnings tier, fan interaction is a core part of the formula.

“Another key of the marketing is the interaction,” he explained. “The business strategy is have a team of people who write to the guys privately since the highest tier people get personal interaction.”

This all comes just after Elayna Black announced she’s taking an extended break from wrestling to focus on her mental health. While she didn’t link her exit to OnlyFans, Meltzer’s report strongly hints that the platform’s financial upside played a major role in the decision.

As more talent quietly line up their exits, it’s clear that what once seemed like a fallback option is now becoming the endgame.
