It’s good to see an industry veteran like Dustin (known as Golddust in WWE) supporting Vega. However, an appearance in AEW may not happen till next March, considering how Vega is now in a 90 days non-compete clause with WWE.
Zelina and Rhodes both worked for TNA. Vega made her debut over there while Rhodes had some brief stints, in and out of WWE.
