Amongst the list of many stars who’ve parted ways with WWE following WrestleMania 42, the 2 who fans have been essentially the most shocked about have been Aleister Black and Zelina Vega. Especially in light of Black, who was released nearly a 12 months to the day after his return to WWE, while Vega had a Women’s United States Championship reign just last 12 months.
Taking to Twitch after the news broke, Vega revealed that the decision to be cut got here from TKO and never WWE, and since the decision got here from the parent company and never Stamford, she knew it was dire before she even answered the decision.
“5:09 PM is once I discovered,” she claimed. Vega also confirmed that she is under a non-compete clause and won’t give you the option to return to pro wrestling for 90 days following her release yesterday.
“Not even like, okay, I used to be off TV necessarily on a regular basis. I used to be off TV for a bit, in the event you would’ve let ‘Zelina’ like be ‘Zelina’ in the way in which I had envisioned, or we had envisioned, for this latest character, y’all would’ve f**king loved it,” she said, claiming there have been many plans she had for her character.
At the identical time, Vega is not comfortable about how the news of her release broke, and expressed her anger about outlets like “Fightful” for getting ahead of her with the news.
“I’d’ve appreciated it if Sean Ross Sapp or whoever the f**k announced it could’ve not less than given me the decency to do it myself first,” she exclaimed, but thanked all of the fans who’ve stood by her since 2020.
