Zelina Vega was fired by WWE on November 13th, 2020, due to her refusing to follow the companies controversial policy of not working with third parties. This would prompt her to tweet out her support for pro wrestling unionization, which she has since deleted. Two months ago, it was reported she had been seen back at WWE’s Performance Center. However, any rumors of a potential return went quiet when her husband Aleister Black was released from the company.
Now though, Vega has made her WWE return during Friday night’s SmackDownwhen she was introduced by Sonya Deville to be a participant in the upcoming women’s Money in the Bank ladder match against Asuka, Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross, and Carmella. This resulted in Liv Morgan coming out and arguing that she had a better claim to be in the match, and this led to a two-minute match between Morgan and Vega, which Morgan won with a rollup.
Vega’s dream had always been to wrestle for WWE, and except for when she was signed with TNA, she would try out for the company every year after becoming a wrestler in 2010. She eventually got her opportunity to wrestle in a WWE ring in 2016, facing then NXT Women’s Champion Asuka on a 2016 episode of NXT. Nine months later, she was offered a WWE contract and took the name, Zelina Vega.
