Mandy Rose has heard some interesting requests since she joined OnlyFans. The former WWE Superstar, who launched her account after leaving the company in 2022, recently revealed she’s gotten plenty of asks that made her stop and think. “There’s definitely a lot of requests I’ve gotten that I’ve looked at like with just, ‘oh my gosh!'” she said. “And yeah, of course there’s a line that you draw, right? But, you know, everybody’s into different things and it is what it is. I don’t judge.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given her background, a huge chunk of what fans actually ask for ties directly back to her wrestling career. “Anything relating to wrestling, to be honest. Throwing your boots on and stomping at the camera. There’s just plenty of them, it’s hard to even remember,” she said. Rose, whose real name is Amanda Rose Saccomanno, hasn’t wrestled since leaving WWE, but her ring persona is clearly still the product a large chunk of her audience wants. What she’s been consistent about is that setting limits is entirely a personal call, not something the platform or its stigma should dictate. “It’s a platform, and what somebody does on there is completely their business,” she said. “I think it just has such a bad stigma, we all know this. At the end of the day, it’s a business and it’s also such a wide spectrum of what you wanna do on there.”
Rose entered this business after she was released from her WWE contract in December 2022, one day after losing the NXT Women’s Championship, reportedly over her Fan Time content. In her first week on the platform, her agent revealed she’d already made $500,000, and that climbed to $1 million within the month. She doesn’t reveal how much she makes now (most creators like Rose see a pretty large drop after the first few months on the platform) but she’s clearly doing well. That doesn’t mean she wouldn’t take a call from WWE or a rival promotion like AEW or TNA. But she insists that conversation would have to be about “the Mandy Rose today,” not the version WWE released years ago.
Rose is far from an isolated case. There’s been a steady stream of people leaving pro-wrestling careers and heading straight into OnlyFans. Cora Jade followed a similar path out of WWE and has called the move “probably the best career decision I’ve ever made,” adding with characteristic bluntness, “My grandkids will be rich.” She faced backlash for it but didn’t let it bother her, brushing it off with a version of the same logic Rose leans on: “I’ve never once in my life looked at someone else’s life and what they’re doing with their life. If it’s not affecting me, my money, or who I love or anybody in my life, I don’t care.” Nixon Newell, formerly known as Tegan Nox, also joined after her own WWE release, framing her own launch around self-acceptance: “I’ve always been a very self conscious and unconfident person, but after a long time of working on my brain and body, I’m finally saying ‘f*ck it.'” WWE’s policy directly drives this pattern, as the company explicitly prohibits its signed talent from appearing on OnlyFans. That’s why wrestler’s departure from WWE and their arrival on the platform are not a coincidence.
But sometimes it goes the other way. Jordynne Grace, a three-time TNA Knockouts World Champion, built a lucrative OnlyFans career after retiring from wrestling, reportedly on pace to clear her first million within a year off subscriptions alone. Then WWE came calling, and by most accounts, she shut the account down as a condition of signing. That means she effectively took a pay cut in exchange for the (alleged) long-term stability and structure of a WWE contract. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp put the trade-off plainly, noting Grace “became a millionaire at one point outside of WWE,” while her early WWE appearances brought in a comparatively modest six figures. Whether that trade nets out ahead of her OnlyFans earnings over a full five-year deal remains genuinely uncertain, but it flips the usual direction of this pipeline entirely: instead of OnlyFans rescuing a career WWE ended, WWE asked a creator to give up an already-thriving OnlyFans business for the promise of long-term stability.
It’s clear that the WWE’s relationship with the platform is an interesting one. They have a strict ban on current talent but didn’t hesitate to sign someone who had been on the platform (as long as she stopped once she signed). Maybe they’ll soften up on the policy in the future but for now, WWE wannabes shouldn’t worry if they also want to create their own OnlyFans account in the meantime.
