Zelina Vega has been in the headlines since her release from WWE late last year. The controversy concerning her untimely departure from the company became a hot button discussion. The topic of WWE Superstars having third party sources of income during the pandemic was wildly polarizing and led to her release. However, her return opens the door for bigger opportunities for the former manager.

Zelina Vega returned to WWE on the July 2nd episode of SmackDown and was named as a participant in this year's Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Although she lost to Liv Morgan in her in-ring return, there is a great deal of optimism about the company seeing more in Vega.

Zelina has been very successful in the past as a manager of Andrade El Idolo, leading him to the NXT Championship and United States Championship during his time with the company.

She has exceptional promo ability and a unique look that stands out among other women on the WWE roster. The WWE Universe have only gotten brief glimpses of Zelina Vega in the ring, but she has shown athleticism and poise in those few appearances.

Her character also fits perfectly with winning the Money In The Bank contract, especially with her history with current SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair. Vega has a lot to offer and could soften the blow of Bayley's absence.
