#3. Hope is true: Zelina Vega's WWE status

Zelina Vega was released by WWE in a shock move half a year ago. It reportedly had to do with her refusal to comply with WWE's "third-party platform" rules, as well as her open opposition towards it.

Right around the time of her release announcement, Vega simply tweeted, "I support unionization." However, she hasn't been active on Twitch post-WWE release. Fightful reported that Zelina Vega was seen in the WWE Performance Center, with a plan being worked out for her return:

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

We're working to learn the context of Zelina's appearance at the WWE PC, but have been told the working plan is for her to return to the company.

Dave Meltzer confirmed this report on Twitter, and it now seems to be public knowledge that Zelina Vega is coming back to WWE.

We hope this is true because she deserves to have a good spot in WWE. However, it's hard to agree with the company's third-party platform rule that bans talent from making an additional source of revenue.
