The real-life couple and former WWE talents are selling photos, videos and custom requests on a new Fansly page called VaineYang.

Two familiar faces from WWE’s 2000s era are taking their relationship off the mat and behind a paywall. Former WWE and WCW wrestler Jimmy Wang Yang and fellow WWE alum Krissy Vaine have launched VaineYang, an adult subscription brand built around the couple. According to Ringside News‘ Felix Upton, Yang revealed the project on Instagram, and the pair has opened a VaineYang account on Fansly.

A gimmick that still works

Yang couldn’t resist leaning on the cowboy character fans remember from WWE’s cruiserweight division. In the announcement, he joked, “I’m 45 years old and I can still Wang Yang… and BANG! Yeehaw!” According to PWMania‘s Phil Johnson, Vaine answered with a line of her own: “He might be the cowboy… but I’m pretty sure I’m the one running this rodeo.”

The branding leans on both personas. One profile description quoted by PWMania and NoDQ introduces the pair as “a glamorous Diva” and “her handsome Asian Cowboy,” a real-life couple with “undeniable chemistry” and “a mischievous streak.”

What subscribers get

The Fansly page bills the duo as “two former pro wrestlers with chemistry that goes beyond the ring.” Ringside News reports the page listed 16 photos and 19 videos when it checked, and promises photos, exclusive video teasers and premium videos dropping on Wednesdays and Sundays. The couple is also advertising cosplay, wrestling-themed material, “playful fantasies” and custom requests.

According to WebIsJericho‘s James Ryder, the venture draws on the pair’s shared wrestling background. The two came up in the same era but were never a long-running on-screen team.

From breakup to business partners

The launch comes a couple of months after the relationship looked finished. In September, Yang posted that the two had split over the strain of a long-distance arrangement. According to Still Real To Us‘ Justin Holmes, Vaine announced about 10 days later that they were back together and called the breakup a miscommunication. Ringside News reports both families drove three and a half hours to meet in the middle and decide whether the relationship could be saved. The answer, Yang wrote, was “a big ol hell yeah.”

Yang is still wrestling, too. Still Real To Us notes he worked an NCW show in Buffalo, New York, on November 8, while Vaine last stepped into the ring in May.

The takeaway

Wrestlers have always known how to sell a character, and VaineYang shows how well those skills carry over to subscription platforms. Instead of going it alone, Yang and Vaine are packaging their public love story, old gimmicks and a set release schedule into one couple brand on Fansly. For other performers with a built-in fan base, it’s a reminder that a recognizable persona and a consistent posting schedule can be the whole business plan.
