WWE has been going through an interesting phase lately, as several contracts are reportedly on the brink of expiration. It has made the Stamford-based company strive to offer them lucrative deals to prevent them from getting lured by other promotions. With the free agency season peaking, it seems the efforts have started paying off as Zelina Vega has penned a new deal with the company.

PWInsider recently reported that the former Queen’s Crown Winner has been locked into a multi-year contract. Fans should rest assured that the Latino superstar will continue gracing their screens for years to come. However, the exact length of her contract remains unknown.

Zelina Vega’s journey began with WWE in 2017. Since then, she has remained a staple product, getting featured in several roles. Vega was briefly released in 2020 after WWE changed its third-party platform policy. The 33-year-old was unwilling to let go of her Twitch channel and, hence, was cut off from the roster.

Since her debut, she has evolved a lot, from being the manager of Andrade El Idolo to an active in-ring performer. As part of LWO, she received the biggest standout moment of her career. She wrestled the Eradicator, Rhea Ripley, for the Women’s World Title at Backlash in Puerto Rico. It was a heroic moment for her as she saw her hometown audience cheering her name.
