WWE released Zelina Vega just hours before Friday Night SmackDown. It comes as a shock to fans and for those in the professional wrestling business. According to a report by PWInsider, Zelina Vega’s release comes as part of several wrestlers having a fallout with the company over the Third-Party Entities Edict sent last month.

She sent out a couple tweets indirectly commenting on her release from WWE. She also shared an emotional message of gratitude for the WWE Universe and her late father on Instagram.

WrestleVotes is now reporting that there is more to the release of Zelina Vega. They revealed that frustrations were high from both sides. Although not linked directly, they also revealed Aleister Black asked for a move back to NXT, which was also denied. They tweeted:

It seems like WWE and Zelina Vega had a hot dispute. It is well-known that several Superstars within the company are unhappy about the edict.

Zelina Vega was one among the many who showed their dissent towards shutting down Twitch, which ultimately lead to her shocking release. She posted a tweet supporting unionization just a couple hours before Friday Night SmackDown hinting at the real reason for her release.

If there are more releases to come, we must wait and see, but we can surely say that such a firm stance on third-party entities portrays WWE being hell-bent on ensuring their talent doesn’t make any extra money.

A good wrestler and an even better manager, the sky is the limit for Zelina Vega and we hope to see her back in the squared circle, doing what she loves soon enough.
