WWE released Zelina Vega last week, and that came as a shock to the fans. However, Mark Henry was not so surprised as he knew she was not going to give up on her Twitch and cosplay so easily.

The WWE Hall of Famer spoke about the company releasing Zelina Vega on the Busted Open Radio and claimed that she knew about the possible release before it was announced. He said:

"I was a little shocked but I wasn't completely surprised. Because I know how much of a Twitch and social media maven that she [Zelina Vega] is. And it was gonna be hard to get her not to do Cameos, it would be hard to get her not to do Twitch, and so on, and so on. This cosplay stuff and having relationships with the fans based on all the characters that she played. So, I didn't see her dropping it, there's a couple other people that I didn't see dropping it."

"But the thing about it is? She knew she got…and this is this comes from good authority, I don't release my sources. It comes from good authority that she knew before they gave her the future endeavor speech. Then she was like 'well I'm gonna leave some parting gifts.'" (H/T SEScoops)

I support unionization.

Reports suggest that Zelina Vega earned more from Twitch and other third party deals than from her WWE contract. The company confirmed to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated that the release was for breaching her contract and that the opening of an OnlyFans account was the last straw.
