After weeks of rumors and speculations, Zelina Vega finally made her return to WWE programming on this week’s episode of SmackDown and secured herself a spot in the upcoming Money In The Bank match.
PWInsider provided some backstage updates on her return. The site confirms that her appearance is not a short-term deal and the female star is back with the company full time.
They also revealed that Vega was backstage for last week’s episode of the show as well but she wasn’t used. WWE officials hid her well so the news of her presence did not leak.
The former NXT star was released from WWE back in November 2020 after a three year long stint with the company. Her disagreements with the officials about WWE’s new third party edicts were a big reason behind her departure.
The news of her potential return to the company first broke out in May earlier this year. Zelina Vega finally made her return to WWE programming this week.
Sonya Deville announced that the returning star was the next participant for the women’s MITB ladder match. Vega then went on to have a singles match with Liv Morgan but she lost the bout.
