10 WWE Superstars That Are Permanently Lost
4. Queen Zelina
The former Zelina Vega found herself rallied around in 2020 when WWE released her amidst news that she was unhappy to surrender her third party commitments in streaming and that understanding unionisation was high on her agenda.
All the pandemic releases were uniquely cruel but hers in particular had a certain extra sting due to just how hard she'd worked in the empty buildings to make her output mean more than the norm. In the months that followed her departure, she became a symbol for much that seemed unfair and ethically rotten about the monolithic organisation, and fans waited with baited breath to see how or where she'd use this intriguing momentum outside of the company's restrictive walls.
Perhaps WWE remembers all that was stirred up at the time? After she elected instead to return to the company the following July, Vega was given nothing to do until she won a Queen's Crown tournament that could and probably should have propelled her up the card. Instead, it was cosplay sh*t - and not the sort she could monetise on her own time. A team with Carmella struck gold but was then split in April 2022 in spite of its moderate success, and she's been a ghost on the show ever since.
