Zelina Vega was released by WWE on Friday and it came as a shock to several fans and Superstars alike. She then let fans know she will be available on Twitch, which is what ultimately got her released in the first place.
Following her WWE release, she went to Twitch and talked about her release during her stream. She thanked all of her supporters and was not angry at anyone. She was simply heartbroken at what happened.
“I don’t know how to start this at al. I wouldn’t have the success that I have if it wasn’t for you guys, if it wasn’t for WWE. If it wasn’t for the people that believed in me from the start like Tommy Dreamer, The Rock, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon. Tommy and Dwayne when nobody else did, they fought for me and I had gotten so many no’s in my life. Thanks to Andrade as well … Norman Smiley, Terry Taylor, everybody.”
“All I wanted since I was four-years-old was to be a WWE superstar, not just for me but for my dad too. I’ve kept [my dad’s wrestling trophy] since he wanted to be a WWE Superstar as well and obviously he couldn’t. When he passed away on 9/11, I made a decision to do it for me but for him too. Thanks to WWE, I was able to do it. For my match with Asuka, I had his name [on my gear].”
“I’m not mad at anyone. I’m not saying anything bad. I’m thankful. This is all I wanted to do … I’m sad. I’m completely heartbroken. Obviously, this isn’t the last you will see of me. I love you all and I’m thankful for every single one of you. If I go down as someone that stood up for themselves, so be it.”
She is under a 90-day no-compete clause. We will have to see where she goes next after the clause is finished.
