Despite the WWE’s best efforts, there is a lot of crossover between it and OnlyFans — and the number of former WWE stars who make the leap to OnlyFans is growing.
Cora Jade was recently released from the WWE earlier this month. While it isn’t clear exactly why she was released, some reports about recently released wrestlers claim that the decision was made because certain wrestlers weren’t putting in enough effort during training. But both Cora Jade and former WWE NXT star Gigi Dolin disagreed with this claim. Jade went on to respond and claim that she was still body-shamed in WWE.
Jade shared her feelings about the forced retirement on social media in a now-deleted tweet while also announcing her decision to return to the name Elayna Black.
“Dropping out of high school at 15 to chase my dreams was scary but I’m so thankful it worked out for the time that it did! I got to live out so many childhood dreams, go so many places, do so many things and most importantly I met some of the most important people in my life that I know I’ll have in my corner forever.
Unfortunately it didn’t go how I envisioned and I’m disappointed by a lot of things but I can look back with no regrets and know I did everything with love and passion and always stood up for myself, even in the times I was scared. I’m proud of myself for that.
With all that being said, TRUST that this is not the end and only my new beginning. I have a lot to say when the time is right. I have so many ideas and am excited for the future and to be able to show what I truly am capable of. Elayna Black is back!”
It seems that in addition to joining the independent wrestling circuit, Jade is launching an OnlyFans on June 2. Due to a 30-day non-compete clause with WWE, she is having to wait to start posting content. In a reply to her now-deleted retirement tweet, a user asked “OnlyFans?” and Jade responded with “stay tuned honey.”
But it seems the cat is out of the bag, as you can find her OnlyFans new profile that reads content will begin on June 2 and you can join for $15.99 a month.
Jade seems to be taking the opposite career path as professional wrestler Jordynne Grace who shut down her account on the subscription-based platform recently so she could join the WWE. It seems that having an OnlyFans account violates WWE’s policies, and once the three-time Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Knockouts World Champion was approached by the WWE, she was more than willing to shut down her lucrative account.
It does seem like a poor business decision to force these stars to choose between the two careers. OnlyFans offers content creators a platform to connect with their fans, and it would seem like a good fit for WWE stars. The OnlyFans account could even draw in new WWE fans who previously were only interested in the OnlyFans content of the stars.
But for now, it seems that any WWE star will be forced to choose between keeping an account or being featured by the company.
