Zelina was released by WWE last week for breaching her contract in connection to Twitch and Onlyfans accounts. Almost immediately, the wrestling world reached out to Fightful.
Zelina herself immediately took to Twitch and thanked WWE. We heard from several wrestlers and personalities, who were hungry for info themselves on one of the biggest news stories in the wrestling world this year.
As reported on Fightful Select:
We’ve gained reactions from all across the wrestling world, from every major company in America on the Zelina/WWE split.
