As reported by Fightful Select a couple of days ago, Zelina Vega (Thea Trinidad) was seen at the WWE Performance Center (PC) on May 13th, and it wasn't just a casual visit. The report stated that Zelina Vega was at the WWE PC to film a promo.

In an update, Fightful was told by sources within WWE that the company filmed Zelina Vega walking into the Performance Center with The Rock's daughter Simone Johnson.

No additional details were provided about the purpose behind filming or whether it was supplemental footage for something bigger. There is also no clarity on WWE's plans for Vega and Simone. However, it seems WWE has been working on getting Zelina Vega back for a while.

Zelina Vega was released from WWE in November 2020 after she voiced her disapproval against the company's policies for talent using third-party platforms.

Vega was contacted by AEW following the conclusion of her WWE non-compete clause. The former WWE star informed AEW that she was already on a short-term deal but didn't specify the company or project. The door was left open to doing future business, but the situation now favors WWE as Vega could soon be re-hired.
