  • Mandy Rose says she’s made $500,000 on FanTime since being fired from WWE for posting nudes

    Professional wrestler Mandy Rose, who was controversially fired from the WWE last week after posting nude photos online, has reportedly made a ton of cash since getting the axe.

    Rose, who at the time was fresh off of losing the NXT Women’s Championship to Roxanne Perez, was abruptly terminated by the WWE due to the sexual nature of content she was sharing on her FanTime page, a site similar to OnlyFans. Reporter Sean Ross Sapp said the WWE informed him they were “put in a tough position” as a result of the nude photos and videos Rose posted, but according to TMZ Sports, the former WWE star is doing just fine since being taken off the company’s payroll.

    The outlet reported that Rose’s agent, Malki Kawa, told them that her client has now raked in over $500,000 solely from her FanTime page since the firing. In fact, Kawa said things are going so well she predicts Rose will be a millionaire by Christmas.

    Shortly after her termination was confirmed by news outlets lastweek, Rose issued a statement, and wrote, “Hey guys, thank you for all the messages. I am overwhelmed with all the love and support from you guys. And don’t worry the page is still up!”

    The news arrived after Roxanne Perez defeated the 32-year-old at Tuesday’s NXT Women’s Championship, ending her 413-day reign. Rose’s run was the third-longest in the history of the NXT Women’s Championship, trailing Asuka’s 522 days and Shayna Baszler’s 416 days.

  • WWE reality show winner: Tough Enough star, Sara Lee, dies aged 30

    WWE reality show winner who passed away at the age of 30 has received tributes from professional wrestlers.

    Sara Lee won the 2015 season of Tough Enough, a talent-spotting programme with an elimination-style format.

    According to local media, Sara was a track star and powerlifter at her US high school before she embarked on her wrestling career.

    Her mother Terri Lee announced the death in a statement posted online.

    “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our Sarah Weston has gone to be with Jesus,” she wrote. “We are all in shock.”

    Lee, from the US state of Michigan, was awarded a $250,000 contract after her winning appearance on Tough Enough but was released the following year.

    She was married to former WWE wrestler Cory James Weston, known as Westin Blake.

    Wrestling star Saraya, formerly known as Paige, was among those to pay tribute to Sara, describing her as a “very sweet human who I got the pleasure to know and work with”.

    Impact star Chelsea Green said she would remember her friend as “laughing, smiling” and “carefree”.

    Fellow wrestler Bull James launched a GoFundMe campaign in aid of Sara’s family, which quickly smashed its $20,000 target – raising almost three times that amount in 10 hours.

    Tough Enough, which ran until 2015, followed the fortunes of 13 WWE hopefuls as they competed to win a spot on the company’s roster.

    A male and female winner chosen at the end of each season was awarded a WWE contract.
