Zelina Vega is sticking with WWE.
According to a report from PWInsider.com, Zelina Vega has agreed to terms and signed a new deal with WWE. Terms of her new deal were not disclosed.
Vega originally signed with the company in 2017. She obtained her release in late 2020 but returned in 2021, and has remained a consistent part of WWE programming. Vega was aligned with Andrade, then joined the LWO and started wrestling. Vega had a high-profile title match against Rhea Ripley at Backlash in Puerto Rico.
A dream come true
WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard spoke with Zelina Vega about being part of WWE Backlash. Vega said being able to compete in Puerto Rico would mean a lot to her, noting that she already has a match in mind.
“I feel like that would be everything for me because not only would I be doing this as — and perfect scenario, honestly, because I always say that Rhea is my perfect opposite. She has a match against Charlotte. If [Rhea] comes out as champion, that’s where I want to be. Because I would have my David versus Goliath match in my home,” Vega explained. “I mean, really, I’d have my family there. I would have the support of everybody that’s supported me throughout the years. And it just feels like a perfect scenario, you know?
“So, what would it mean? It makes me speechless because I don’t know how to describe how much it would mean to me,” Vega added. “There are no words for me to describe how much it would mean to me. But, I’m hoping that if the stars align the right way, that I get to have that match that I’ve been wanting so bad.”
