Both stars are believed to have quietly departed the company
Summary
– Zelina Vega and Aleister Black are both believed to be gone from WWE
– Vega was recently featured on SmackDown alongside her real-life husband Aleister Black
– Their reported exits come after both remained active on WWE television in 2026
Zelina Vega and Aleister Black are reportedly believed to be out of WWE, marking another surprising development during the company’s latest wave of roster changes.
Fightful reported that both stars are believed to have departed WWE, though the company has released no official statement regarding either exit.
Vega’s second WWE run began with her return in 2021, and she remained with the company for five straight years. Most recently, she had transitioned back into a managerial role on SmackDown, appearing alongside her real-life husband, Aleister Black.
During that run, Vega captured the Queen of the Ring crown and became a familiar face through her work with Legado Del Fantasma and later the Latino World Order.
Black had also remained active on television throughout 2026 and was most recently seen on the April 17 episode of SmackDown during the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Earlier this year, he was involved in feuds with Damian Priest and Randy Orton, before moving into recent matches and segments with Sami Zayn and Matt Cardona.
Black originally joined WWE in 2016 and quickly became one of NXT’s standout stars, eventually winning the NXT Championship during his first run.
After being released in 2021, he joined AEW before departing the company in early 2025, and he returned to WWE after WrestleMania 41.
Their reported departures now leave both stars off the WWE roster again, creating major interest around what comes next for the husband-and-wife duo.
With both names still active on television so recently, the news comes as another major surprise during a rapidly changing week for WWE.
