Female Wrestlers SHOULD Be Doing OnlyFans

This article isn’t for fans already cheering on their favorite female wrestlers’ OnlyFans, or happily subscribing to the spicy content of ring queens like the FKAs Mandy Rose, Tegan Nox, or Cora Jade. Good on you for living your best life.

This article is for the angry fuckwads raging on X, down below in the comments, or whatever other lair they call home. Spoiler: you’re dead wrong. Female wrestlers doing OnlyFans is a badass power move that’s rewriting the game. If they can bank millions and retire without shattering their bodies, good for them. Wrestling’s a meat grinder—bump cards are a real thing, Father Time (Mother Time?) spares no body, and allegiance to a company over its people is attributable to underdeveloped brain rot.

And as a Fan of WWE when they’re at their absolute best, here’s why OnlyFans will make for a healthier landscape: the Less Leverage WWE has with Talent, the More they have to grow to remain successful. Look at WWE in 2019 before AEW. Corbin and Ziggler were dumping dog food on The Big Dog. Brock beat Kofi in six seconds because F*ck You. When WWE has competition, they have to get better. Would anyone trade the Bloodline for the Big Dog? I’ll wait.

Look at the Monday Night Wars. WWE before Nitro was Occupation-themed Wrestler-Land where the Repo Man and Doink the Clown ran rampant (I like Doink, btw). Now, whether it’s Cody or MJF telling us, having more places for wrestlers to make money means the companies have to do better by them to retain their services. That means OnlyFans, too.

Remember when Trish had to bark like a dog and crawl around the ring in her thong while Vince screamed at her? Remember when Vince just had to make out with Sable or Candice? And we know, we know, that if they said no, that they would get dropped like one of Andy’s old toys. We remember you, Ashley Massaro.

Today’s era of women: Mandy, Tegan, and Cora have taken the ball and kept it forever in their court—if they don’t like the creative direction of their return, they don’t have to return and subject themselves to it. And all the other women in the locker room? They know it too. And the WWE? It damn sure knows it.

We know Mandy Rose, post-WWE, pulled over $1 million on OnlyFans in 2023 (per WrestlingInc). Good for her! Cora Jade has said it’s the best move she’s made in her career. Fantastic! Tegan Nox is off and running after saying that bookings were almost non-existent.

How could we be angry she decided to do this after trying to get booked, and finding a desert wasteland of opportunity? If you think she didn’t have the skill to cut it as a wrestler, then why would you be mad at her for pursuing making money… as a non-wrestler? Do you also find porn stars you don’t like and rant about why anyone would like that particular star? Make it make sense.

I grew up in the WWE during the yearly Playboy collaborations. Sable, Torrie, then Sable and Torrie, then Christy, were all doing the same thing: taking nude pictures for fans to enjoy. Maryse had a killer spread in Vixen before she got started. Mickie and Candice shot for adult before their time in the ring. Why is that a black mark on their legacy?

We all looked it up. We all wanted to watch it. So why are we, the fans, angry when they do it? The only difference the women have now is that they aren’t doing it for a one-time check (even if it was a big one). The business model of OnlyFans is a recurring stream the talent runs—alone. Not with Vince lording it over them. Not with Hugh Hefner. Just the talent. That’s fucking awesome.

Even Matt Riddle made one. I don’t know what’s on it, and I don’t want to know, but if he comes out and says he’s making a great living—more power to him. Maybe more male stars could post their spicy content to make a living outside of WWE. As a straight man, I’m not interested in any of it. But this article ultimately isn’t even about gender.

If there’s an audience willing to pay for it, and you consent to share it behind a paywall—Knock Yourself Out, Bro. Is anyone mad at Shawn Michaels for his Playgirl spread? No. Are wrestlers in 2025 currently taking and sending nude pics to matches on Tinder and Bumble? You bet your naked asses they are.

So if there’s a paying audience that wants it, the talent has the desire to do it, and it makes the wrestling product grow as a result—great!

To the keyboard warriors screaming “Ew!”—pipe down. We watch oiled-up near-nude men grab each other for 6 hours a week. And the men wear LESS than the women. And the women, more and more, are wearing less and less. The haters whining about “class” or “tradition” are just mad they can’t control the star’s post-WWE narrative.

Newsflash: wrestling’s never been classy; it’s raw (lol), unpredictable, anti-authoritarian, and OnlyFans fits that vibe like a glove. You wanna keep calling them independent contractors? Independent contractors get to do whatever the fuck they want.

WWE might blacklist OnlyFans stars from returning. They have a right to do that. They are allowed to protect whatever corporate image they are trying to project this week, even if it is totally at odds with the image that they themselves built over the last half a century. That’s a risk the talent has to make when considering making an OnlyFans.

Hell, that’s a risk anyone has to assess for themselves when dipping their toe into the world of adult. But with enormous talent-controlled social media followings, and a consistent content upload schedule, you can pretty well guess that those who make the leap… will find a solid footing.

My advice to the naysayers: block them. Don’t just unfollow them. Put your money where your mouth is and block them so that it doesn’t come up on your radar. If a platform talks about it, and it makes you so irate, block them too. Find peace in your life.

For the rest of us, we’re going to check it out. The more we stigmatize it, the less we grow. I know I like it. And I support it. Which of you Puritans will judge me? You clicked an article about OnlyFans and read everything all the way to the bottom.

Female wrestlers on OnlyFans are not only winning, they’re flipping the script on what has been a brutal industry.

They’re not breaking their bodies for your applause, but they are baring it. That’s not only just awesome, it’s a revolution.

Here’s hoping Maryse makes one again, because hoollllyyyyyyy shit.
