    Former WWE Star Says Firing Of Zelina Vega Was “Probably Illegal”
    WWE

    Ryback has never been one to bite his tongue when it comes to expressing how he feels about WWE, and the former Intercontinental Champion has now had his say on the Zelina Vega release situation.

    Taking to his podcast, Ryback claimed that if WWE didn’t have Zelina Vega sign the necessary paperwork, then her firing from the company was “probably illegal”, quote courtesy of Wrestling Inc

    “If she never signed any paperwork with them, I promise you what they did was probably illegal. Now they can say they fired her for other reasons outside of that, but I think it was pretty apparent they made an example of her because she didn’t go along with the flow on the Twitch like everybody else.

    “What they do is they create new paperwork. This is what they did when I was there. They herd the talent into a room and they force you to sign. They are literally adding to the contract. It really puts people in a tough position because you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

    “So I’m curious, if she’s using her real name on that and she never signed that new paperwork, they can find themselves in a messy situation.”

    While some may disagree with WWE’s decision on a moral basis, it’s important to note that at this time, it has not been reported by an official source that WWE acted improperly and illegally in firing Zelina Vega.

    For any updates on this ongoing situation between WWE and its wrestlers who use third-party platforms such as Twitch and Cameo, make sure you stay tuned to WrestleTalk.com.
