Eleven months ago, Thea Trinidad was released from her contractual obligations in WWE.
That appeared to mark the end of the Zelina Vega era. Suddenly, that character—which Trinidad established through her exquisite promos and was just beginning to reach new heights through determined, physical in-ring performances—would be no more. Immediate speculation circulated as to where or if she would wrestle again. For all her highlights in the company, Trinidad’s WWE run could only be described as unfinished business.
That changed in July when Vega seized the wrestling world’s attention by returning to WWE. Nearly a year later, her coronation has officially taken place.
