WWE that SmackDown Superstar Zelina Vega has been released from her contract. PWInsider reports that Vega's release was fallout from the recent edict that  prevents talents from continuing activity on third party platforms such  as Twitch, in favor of the company spearheading those relationships and  fielding talents as a part of their contractual duties.
Vega was  informed of her departure late this afternoon. She will be under the  traditional 90-day non-compete clause, which would keep her from  appearing on TV for any other promotion through mid-February 2021.
Vega's  departure was not a result of her tweet in support of unionization as  word of the departure was going around internally well before she made  the tweet. Sources noted that Vega had been extremely vocal about  maintaining her Twitch account after the edict was handed down last  month. There are some people in WWE who are wondering if Vega was  released to "send a message" to others in the company, to make sure they  follow the third party platform edict. Vega announced on Instagram  earlier tonight that she is returning to the Twitch platform.
