Zelina Vega had a dispute with WWE over their third-party edicts. These disagreements had led to the female star’s release in November 2020. So it was a surprise for many when she made her return to the company on SmackDown this week. Latest reports provide some update on how it was made possible.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, there were segments in the promotion who felt that Vega should have been retained and not released when she was first let go. These segments pushed for a conversation between the two sides. They eventually succeed in their effort to start a discussion for her return.
This return was made possible when after a long period of back and forth, the WWE executives apologized to Zelina Vega and made her an offer. As for why the former NXT star herself chose to return after the manner of her firing, the site notes that both sides made amends and came to a compromise.
Vega grew up wanting to be a part of WWE. She didn’t mind returning if the air was cleared from all sides. It’s said that everyone ‘came to an understanding on the other sides’ perspective’ to make things work. When it comes to Aleister Black, some people within the company have pushed for his return too. Although as of now, there aren’t any deep discussions about his potential comeback.
