Austin Aries quickly became one of the top stars in the cruiserweight division after getting called up to the WWE main roster, but he decided to part ways with the company last year and now he’s the current Impact Wrestling World Champion.
Aries had been dating Thea Trinidad, also known to WWE fans as Zelina Vega, but he recently confirmed on Twitter that they’ve split up.
Vega made her main roster debut on SmackDown Live alongside Andrade “Cien” Almas on Tuesday, and Aries took to Twitter to comment on the debut.
It appears that Aries and his former girlfriend are still on good terms, as he congratulated her on her big moment.
Congrats to my ex-girlfriend @Zelina_VegaWWE on her #SmackDownLive debut. I know firsthand all the time, effort, and sacrifice that went into making this special dream a reality.

Fans haven’t seen Maria Kanellis on WWE programming in quite some time because she’s been at home taking care of her newborn baby, but she recently indicated that she plans on returning.
A fan asked her on Twitter how her WWE run is going so far, and Maria told the fan that she’s just getting started.
Thank you, it’s just getting started with WWE. It’s easy to get down when you see others with the reality shows, commercials, and the TV time to get down, it’s harder to watch all of that and still find the fire inside that makes you rage to fight for another opportunity. https://t.co/97OPc2wwmN

Maria also said that she wants to return and take the spot that was previously held by The Miz and Maryse when they were working as a couple on TV.
Of course as soon as Mike knocks the crown off Miz‘s head. Because even though we are friends with them. We want their spot. That’s the only reason I want to come back. To be the best. To be better than the best couple in WWE. https://t.co/xt4PzDk6sK
