Elayna Black, also known as Cora Jade, is the latest ex-WWE Superstar to move over to OnlyFans to great success. According to renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer says he heard the decision to move to the content subscription platform was easy, considering how much money she’s making.
“I know she was talking to somebody who I know, and… she has probably made more money last month than any woman pro wrestler in the world, probably by a lot, because of OnlyFans,” Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio.
He compared the situation to that of former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose, who also moved over to OnlyFans, to much success following her release from WWE.
“Mandy Rose set the template,” Meltzer explained. “And you know, if you’ve got the right look, you can do OnlyFans coming off of a WWE run. And not everyone can do it, obviously, but some can. I mean, Mandy Rose is incredibly rich from that… and it’s the new thing, and more people are going to do it.”
The journalist also compared doing OnlyFans as a more successful path than going the independent circuit, which is what countless other wrestlers do in her position. When weighing the options of putting your body on the line versus OnlyFans, the conclusion is simple.
“Think about this. You want to do these indie dates for $1,000 when you’re making the kind of money that she’s making?” he asked. “It basically makes no sense at all.” Meltzer says, “It’s like, you know, going to do indie shows, you know, flying in, the stress, and it’s indie shows and things like that, taking bumps and everything, or sitting around and the money rolls in.”
Although OnlyFans isn’t stable and income may not remain as steady, for now, it’s a sound choice, he says. “She may come back, but… right now, for her, I mean, she’s just making an incredible, incredible amount of money. I mean, it’s ridiculous, so good for her.”
The news follows 24-year-old Black’s announcement that she’s stepping away from wrestling “for the foreseeable future” to prioritize her mental health. After being released from her WWE contract in May 2025, Black shared that she plans to take the rest of the year off to “take care of me and go from there.”
Meanwhile, Mandy Rose (real name Mandy Sacs) was released by WWE in December 2022 following controversy over the content she shared on her FanTime page. Her presence on the platform proved highly profitable, as she herself revealed she earned over $1 million within her first month on FanTime. Since then, the former NXT Women’s Champion has left FanTime and transitioned to OnlyFans.
