Ex-WWE Champion Finally Makes In-Ring Return After 3+ Years
Ex-WWE Champion Mandy Rose recently made her in-ring return.
Rose was released from the Stamford-based promotion in December 2022, a day after she lost the NXT Women’s Championship to Roxanne Perez at the NXT Deadline 2022 event.
After her release, Mandy fully shifted her focus to content creation and fitness instead of chasing opportunities in other wrestling promotions right away.
She built her brand heavily around her FanTime/OnlyFans platform, and she has spoken about how this move gave her more control and better earnings than her WWE contract.
Ex-WWE Star Mandy Rose Returns To The Ring For OnlyFans Match
Mandy Rose recently made a surprise in‑ring return by teaming up with former WWE star Cora Jade (now known as Elayna Black) in a cage match featured on OnlyFans as part of an OTF/OFWrestling event.
This match was framed as a fun, light-hearted bout to shake off the ring rust after nearly three years away from wrestling, and it was not part of any major promotion like WWE, AEW, or TNA.

Cora Jade was released from the Stamford-based promotion in May 2025 as part of a company-wide cut, and since then, she has wrestled briefly on the indies and for TNA.
But in late 2025, she stepped away from in-ring work to focus on mental health and has now returned to TNA under the name Elayna Black in early 2026.
