Last Friday, WWE fired one of its most promising superstars. Merely hours before SmackDown, Zelina Vega was released. This sudden decision put the company under fire, and many Superstars were concerned about their own future.

Since then, many Superstars have come forward, showing their support for the Vega. Perhaps the biggest support came yesterday from Zelina’s former client Andrade. They were paired together since their NXT days in 2017.

After being paired together since 2017, WWE recently broke the duo up. In WWE Draft 2020, Vega was sent to SmackDown to focus on her singles run, while El Idolo remained on the red brand.
