In April 2022, WWE lifted the ban that was imposed on their wrestlers from earning money using third-party platforms such as Twitch and Cameo. Prior to that, the stars had to hand over ownership of their accounts. The wrestlers would receive only a portion of the income generated from the platforms. But after the lifting of the ban, all the income the superstars earned through the platform became entirely theirs to keep.

Now, with little to no restrictions set in place, wrestlers have taken to streaming and other non-WWE appearances as a secondary source of income. While most stick to just streaming, some have also veered towards posting adult content. So here are some of the top WWE wrestlers who turned to OnlyFans as an extra source of income.

1. Zelina Vega

Zelina Vega launched her OnlyFans in October 2020. She went by the name “Megan Minx” on the platform. Her monthly subscription cost was $30. For that amount, fans could interact directly with her. It also featured exclusive videos and photos of her in cosplays, lingerie, and swimsuits.

She strictly mentioned in her bio that no nude pictures would be given out. Sadly, within a few weeks of starting her OnlyFans, Vega was fired from the WWE as this was in direct breach of the old company policy that banned performers from making money off third-party online platforms. She was the first WWE performer to be fired for going against the company’s policy. She later joined the WWE in July 2021 and has been with the company ever since.

Vega was also one of the many wrestlers who were staunchly against WWE’s old policy of preventing their wrestlers from using third-party apps. Especially since Vega was also using Twitch to stream to her fans.

2. Mandy Rose

Mandy Rose was with the WWE when her adult photos from her FanTime page got leaked online. WWE then went on to release Rose on December 14, 2022. This was just a day after she lost her NXT Women’s Championship.

At the time of the release, Rose said she was “hurt” by the company’s decision. Post that, Rose went on to make her OnlyFans page. Her ID on OnlyFans is @mandy_rosefree and her bio reads, “Hi my name is Mandy. This is my free page and I post here daily. I am a cam girl on mfc and cb daily and content creator. I am a very friendly, fun, and caring person. Hope you enjoy.😉❤”.

Since her release, she has been making more money off OnlyFans than she actually did as a WWE wrestler. She even said that she is happier personally and mentally and gets more time to spend with her family. While the reason behind Rose’s firing wasn’t clear, a major part of the decision is rumored to have been based on the content that she had posted on her FanTime page. This isn’t too surprising, especially as WWE has moved towards a more PG audience over time.

3. Chelsea Green

Chelsea Green made her main roster debut on SmackDown in November 2020. But right in her first match, she ended up breaking her wrist, the second time she had done so at the promotion. This put her out of action for months. Then finally, in April 2021, WWE released Green from her contract due to budget cuts.

As a result, Green decided to open an OnlyFans account while competing as part of Ring of Honor (ROH). Back then, she was more focused on her adult content.

Later in 2023, she was offered another contract to rejoin the WWE. But the only condition was that she had to give up her OnlyFans account. Ever since, her OnlyFans account is not active anymore. But the content still remains uploaded, and she charges five dollars per month. Meanwhile, Green is slowly making a name for herself during her second stint at the promotion. So far, she is one-half of the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, alongside Scottish wrestler Piper Niven.

4. Scarlett Bordeaux

Scarlett Bordeaux joined the WWE in 2019 but was released in November 2021 as part of the COVID-19 budget cuts. After that, she started her OnlyFans account and was quite successful. So much so that Bordeaux was in the top 0.04% of content creators on OnlyFans.

She charged a monthly subscription fee of $20 a month to access her exclusive photo and video content. Bordeaux also charged $100 for a ‘kiss card’, a card she personally kissed and signed. She was later signed back to the WWE in August 2022 and as a result had to shut down her account due to company policy.

Currently, the blonde bombshell can often be seen alongside her real-life boyfriend and fellow wrestler Karrion Kross. In fact, her return to WWE in August saw her attack Drew McIntyre alongside Kross on an episode of SmackDown.

5. Toni Storm

Storm joined the WWE in 2017 as part of the NXT brand. She even won the NXT UK Women’s Championship during her stint with the promotion. She made her SmackDown debut in July 2021. But in December of the same year, she asked for her release from the Stamford-based promotion as she “didn’t feel that appreciated”. 

Post that, she started her OnlyFans account in March, which remains active till today. Her handle on the site is @realtonistorm. She charges $19 as the monthly subscription fee for her content. So far, Storm has been fairly successful on the platform, where she revealed that she made $33,000 on the first weekend of her joining OnlyFans.

However, continuing her wrestling career, Storm joined AEW in March 2022 and is still with Tony Khan’s brand under the ring name “Timeless” Toni Storm. She also made her debut at New Japan Pro-Wrestling in May this year.

From Mandy Rose to Toni Storm to Zelina Vega, it seems the stars have found different ways to suit their needs. While Rose decided to quit wrestling altogether in favor of spending more time with her family, others sacrificed a potential career on the platform to pursue wrestling. However, while most had a rocky start, it seems that for now, all of them seem content with their decisions.

What do you think about the different paths the women wrestlers took to get to where they are now?
