#7 Zelina Vega returned to WWE after being released in 2020

On November 13, 2020, WWE announced that they had released Zelina Vega. It came as a shock to fans, as Vega had been a key player on television.

It was eventually reported that she was let go because she opposed the company's new policy of instructing superstars to cease their work with third-party platforms.

Once water had passed under the bridge, Zelina Vega returned eight months later, to the surprise of many. She now performs on RAW as Queen Zelina, after winning the Queen's Crown Tournament at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
