The wrestling world’s conversation about monetizing content just got another powerful voice. Mara Sadè, who performed as Jakara Jackson during her WWE tenure, made waves across social media with a straightforward declaration about her business strategy moving forward.
Taking Control of the Narrative
Sadè’s approach cuts straight to the point with no apologies. Her Twitter statement laid out her perspective in crystal clear terms: “Why post bikini pics for free when I can charge a fee.”
This isn’t just about content creation—it’s about wrestlers seizing control of their brand and income streams. The former Katana Chance tag team partner is joining a growing movement of wrestlers who refuse to give away what has clear market value.
Industry Support Pours In
The wrestling community’s response showed immediate solidarity. Elayna Black, formerly known as NXT’s Cora Jade, backed the sentiment with a concise “Period.” Sadè’s response was equally direct: “Exactlyy 😌”
TNA Wrestling’s Ash By Elegance, who fans remember as Dana Brooke from her WWE days, amplified the message further. Her enthusiastic “Exactly !!!!! 100%” response under the same tweet demonstrates how widespread this mindset has become among women wrestlers.
The Platform Tease
Sadè didn’t leave fans guessing about her intentions. Following up her original statement with “Just sayin 💕,” she then dropped an OnlyFans link accompanied by a simple but telling caption: “Uh ohh 🎁”
Part of a Larger Movement
While Sadè hasn’t made any formal announcements about launching premium content, her message resonates within an established trend. Former WWE performers are increasingly vocal about controlling their own revenue streams post-company.
Elayna Black recently defended her own $15.99 subscription platform against critics with characteristic bluntness: “Profit off of you being creeps which you were going to do for free anyways!!!”
The Business of Being Authentic
What makes Sadè’s approach noteworthy isn’t just the business decision—it’s the transparent communication. Rather than dancing around the topic, she’s addressing the economics head-on.
The wrestling industry has always featured performers who understand their marketability extends beyond the ring. Sadè’s directness about monetizing that appeal represents a new generation of wrestlers who aren’t shy about the business side of entertainment.
Her statement has already become something of a rallying cry, with fellow wrestlers treating it as a manifesto for taking control of their own content and compensation. Will other former WWE stars follow Sadè’s lead in being this upfront about their post-wrestling business ventures?
