EX-WWE wrestler Elayna Black revealed she joined OnlyFans after being fired and having her dreams “ripped out”.

Black, 25, joined the wrestling giants in 2021 and performed under her previous name of Cora Jade.

The Chicago native spent four years with the developmental brand NXT without ever moving to the main roster.

Black was fired by WWE in 2025 and briefly wrestled on TNA but left the company a few months later and performed in the independent circuit.

That was when the American grappler decided to try her luck on OnlyFans, even though she admits wrestling was always her priority.

And the ex-NXT star’s account is still active despite her return to TNA in January as she claims more opportunities arose after her crossover to the adult-themed website.

Black told TNA’s YouTube channel: “I didn’t grow up wanting to be an OnlyFans model.

“I grew up wanting to be a wrestler. And unfortunately for me, my dream was ripped out from under my feet with no control.

“And when there was an opportunity to make a lot of money at 25 years old, at the time I was 24 when I got fired, I 100 per cent jumped on it and I’m going to do it and I’m going to be smart about it.

“I guess I never really thought of other business opportunities coming from wrestling just because I have always been so tunnel vision on wrestling and that’s all I ever wanted to do.

“So, when I got fired I started getting all these new opportunities.

“So, when I did take the break and I started doing OnlyFans as well, I started noticing all these other opportunities coming in that I didn’t even think that I would be interested in.”

Black also addressed what she finds to be misconceptions about OnlyFans models.

The ex-WWE star added: “I think the hardest part honestly is people thinking that they have access to you in a certain type of kind of violating way just because of the content you make.

“The excuse is always, ‘Well, you have an OnlyFans. You’re asking for it. Like you posted you want like you think that you can treat me a certain way or have this certain opinion of me or have this I guess access to me and my body because of what I post online’, which is absolutely never the case.”
