10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Zelina Vega
6. She Was Engaged To Austin Aries
Always one of wrestling's most outspoken characters, Austin Aries has endured a tumultuous 2017.
He started the year relegated to 205 Live's commentary booth after fracturing his orbital bone in late 2016. Healed by March, he became an immediate Cruiserweight Title contender, launching several unsuccessful attempts at wresting the belt from Neville's clutches. Aries' final defeat came at Extreme Rules, and he was released from his contract soon after, with initial reports suggesting that he was frustrated by his role in the company.
2017 also saw the end of his long-term relationship with Zelina Vega. The duo were an item as recently as a couple of months ago, and were engaged to be married, but Aries indirectly confirmed the split during a recent appearance with Tommy Dreamer's House Of Hardcore promotion. Eagle-eyed (read: creepy) fans have since noticed the duo unfollowing each other on Instagram, which, while far from concrete evidence, appears to support the notion.
While the duo's personal lives aren't anyone's business but their own, Aries hasn't been shy of taking shots at WWE since departing, so it's probably for the best that Vega is no longer associated with him.
