It's only the most recent instance of a main roster talent switching to WWE's developmental brand

a trend Zelina Vega finds appealing and which has benefited the show's TV ratings.

[{"selector":"#anim-0fcb8911-4619-4af3-8936-26112ed92a17","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-32379c4f-b0ad-4d72-b73c-7e5d9a4782b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6035fdd5-560f-4db9-9b4e-473c184fc6e9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d296f43-4667-4ca4-a492-0b66b45fa3eb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.25959%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

it was wise that they had begun to combine the two worlds

[{"selector":"#anim-60503dcd-1105-4c25-adca-63f178bb650f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3df61104-8545-4c49-9bb4-02a5a0ec1b30","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-92024464-7f0c-49d3-9e29-5d72e9cd0f18","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-287df9d4-878d-441c-8acc-06fb85a8416b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.25959%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

to preserve it as a third brand. Getting to change things up is always enjoyable
