Elayna Black Discusses OnlyFans Move After WWE Release

TNA star Elayna Black, formerly known as Cora Jade in WWE, is speaking out about her decision to join OnlyFans following her release from WWE in 2025. In recent comments, Black made clear that despite branching out into new business ventures, professional wrestling remains her ultimate passion, describing the loss of her WWE spot as having her dream ripped away from her.

Black rose to prominence in WWE as part of the NXT women’s division, where she built a reputation as one of the promotion’s brightest young stars before her run with the company came to an end in 2025. Since then, she has resurfaced in TNA, continuing her in-ring career while also exploring opportunities outside the squared circle — including her new presence on OnlyFans, a platform increasingly used by wrestlers and other entertainers to build direct relationships with fans and diversify their income.

Her comments reflect a broader trend across the wrestling business, where releases — even unexpected or painful ones — often push talent toward reinvention rather than retreat. For a performer like Black, who has been candid about how much wrestling means to her, the pivot to other ventures doesn’t appear to signal any lessening of her in-ring ambitions. If anything, framing the OnlyFans move alongside her ongoing TNA career suggests she sees it as a supplement to her wrestling path rather than a replacement for it.

Black’s situation also underscores how much more common this kind of multi-platform career building has become in wrestling. Talent who once would have been fully dependent on a single promotion’s paycheck now increasingly look to merchandise, streaming platforms, podcasts, and subscription content to control their own narrative and finances — particularly after a jarring release from a company as dominant as WWE.

Since landing in TNA, Black has had the chance to keep performing at a high level, and her willingness to speak candidly about the emotional toll of her WWE departure gives fans insight into just how personal these business decisions can be for performers. Losing a spot on WWE’s roster is rarely just a career setback — for many wrestlers, it strikes at a dream built since childhood.

As Black continues to establish herself in TNA, it will be worth watching whether her new entrepreneurial ventures end up fueling a larger in-ring resurgence, giving her the financial independence and visibility to keep pursuing the career she has described as her lifelong dream.
