I also wonder if one of the male wrestlers had an OnlyFans would the reaction/discipline be the same? One would hope so, but I kind of have my doubts. Are there a lot of men doing the "OnlyFans thing"? I know there are male pornstars that do it (not first hand... I've just seen advertising for it... yeah, I can't get out of being a scumbag here LOL).

This release really sends a good message to the women's locker room as well. Hey domestic abusers, rapists, and other unsavory stuff is fine and we ll use you as a focal point. But showing nudity when your gimmick is a thirst trap. No-no thats bad.

Everyone here is focusing on the content Mandy Rose was producing, but I'm wondering if this development is like that story from a couple of years ago about WWE cracking down on wrestlers making money for themselves, and not WWE, on Twitch. In recent years, the company has seemed willing to look away from wrestlers doing side-gigs, but onlu up to the point when WWE wants what it feels is its cut, even though the wrestlers are supposedly independent contractors. I'm unsure how much the content of what was being made and sold matters here.

My basic belief is that if everyone involved in a sexual act is enthusiastically consenting, it shouldn't have any impact on their employment. WWE's basic belief seems to be that sexuality is only acceptable if it's controlled by a rich white guy, whether or not the women involved consent. Even if she's posting surgically intimate pictures of her cervix, the idea that it's 'her fault' and that her employment should be punished for that is kind of nightmarish frankly.

Vince was probably a repeat tipper. Nice to see Wade Barrett managing his money well... Makes sense that he'd pay for the bigger picture.

I am surprised they went this far I must admit. Where does that leave Gigi and Jacy then? ....do they do a re-enactment of this.... They could also maybe pair them up with Sonya again?

Also to add "Hey, we're pretty much ok with you committing DUIs consistently to the point where we have to find ways to book you out of international dates because they'd rather not have those crimes happen over there, not a headache at all by the way, but using your likeness in other ways? That crosses all the lines!"

I’m really betting this was a sponsor call. Wrestlers are doing twitch and other stuff no problem. Mattel or someone got wind of it and did not want the smoke

Like, not to change topics, I literally Google image searched for "Jimmy Uso mugshot" and found, like, 5-6 individual images. For someone running creative and talent relations who was once concerned over his kids Googling Chyna...like, come on now.

On one hand, yes she had been told to stop and kept going. On the other hand, WWE has a history of exploitation of it's workers (HLA, Playboy, Kiss my Ass Club). Plus they're "independent contractors" in the first place, let them have their side hustle. Hell, I'm pretty plugged into the internet and I only just now learned of her stuff. I doubt little kids were going to find out or anything.

Tony has a huge announcement coming! If I remember right, NXT talent only have a 30 day non compete, so she could appear in AEW or Impact next month.

I think it kind of boils down to this: 1. The company should make everybody employees and stuff like this wouldn't happen. 2. They have glorified sexuality for a long time and so this comes across as hypocritical, for sure. 3. She is within her rights to make money off her likeness but I understand if she signed something with morality clause that they would take issue with some of the content. I'm by no means a prude, and I'm honestly surprised that they actually released her. She'll be fine, but it is definitely surprising.
