Sunny, real name Tammy Lynn-Sytch, has told TMZ that she’s signed a deal with adult film giant Vivid, for “much, much” more than the $100,000 that Chairman Steve Hirsh had originally offered. Talk of a deal heated up after Hirsch offered Sunny $100,000 for her WWE Hall of Fame ring, which she auctioned on eBay EBAY +0.00% with an opening bid of $3,000.
The former WWE valet has been known to use her assets for business purposes. In 2013, Sunny charged fans $75 to pose with her in bed.

Former Intercontinental and women’s champion Chyna released a sex tape with Red Light District Video entitled One Night in China, which went on to sell 100,000 copies.
