The Impact of OnlyFans on Female Wrestlers' Career Choices
In a notable industry shift, the financial success of former professional wrestlers Mandy Rose and Elayna Black on OnlyFans is influencing other female wrestlers to rethink their career trajectories. Reportedly, rather than viewing major wrestling promotions like WWE and AEW as ultimate career goals, these athletes see them as stepping stones to higher earnings through digital platforms such as OnlyFans.
Elayna Black's Career Pivot
Elayna Black, taking a hiatus from wrestling to focus on her mental health, has found financial stability through her OnlyFans content, according to a report by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This financial assurance is seemingly a substantial factor in her decision to step back from in-ring competition, reflecting a broader trend among female wrestlers.
Mandy Rose's Post-WWE Success
Following her exit from WWE, Mandy Rose has achieved significant financial success on OnlyFans, reportedly surpassing her earnings from her wrestling career. Collaborating with Elayna Black, Rose has embraced digital content creation, leveraging her fame to establish a lucrative presence on the platform.
Financial Comparisons and Industry Impact
Meltzer's insights suggest that Elayna Black's monthly OnlyFans earnings might exceed those of any currently active female wrestler. While these figures may be subject to verification, they underscore the potential financial benefits that lead athletes to consider permanent career shifts away from wrestling. The rising prevalence of this career path could dramatically transform the wrestling industry, offering female wrestlers both alternative and potentially more profitable career routes and challenging traditional measures of success within the sport.
