Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) More On Zelina Vega’s Release From WWE
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Zelina Vega was essentially given a choice to keep her Twitch and OnlyFans account or get fired from WWE. She decided to keep them both, which led to her firing.
Here is what Meltzer said about the situation:
“So, essentially as everyone knows, the talent was given a timeframe to get rid of their Twitch and Cameo accounts. During that timeframe, Zelina Vega didn’t get rid of it and she opened an OnlyFans account. The backstory on this and it’s funny because one person kind of told me when the thing went down that there are a couple of women that are making more money with their social media than they are making with WWE and they are gonna be real interesting and one of those was Zelina Vega. On her Twitch she’s making a lot of money and so it’s like what do you do in that situation and I think she made her choice and they had to fire her and then right before it got out that she was fired she made a tweet about how she supports unionization which she has said before. I mean it’s not like that’s the first time she said that and that did play into some of it and now.”
My Take:
- It sucks to see Zelina go. She is going to be successful at whatever that she chooses to do after though.
4) Some Backstage Resentment In WWE
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about there being some backstage resentment in WWE. This comes after WWE’s ban of Twitch and other third-party applications.
Here is what Meltzer said after speaking with some people in the company:
“I know from talking with different people that there is a resentment that ‘ok before we were working four nights a week and working our ass off and traveling all over the country and having to pay for hotels’ and now ‘we’re working one day a week and we have a lot of time off so we are figuring out ways to make money with our time off to augment the money that we’re not making and then they try to take it away from us.’”
My Take:
- I feel like there has to be a better solution than WWE just banning Superstars from using Twitch. They need to work together with their talent because this could get ugly.
