Zelina Vega Eyes Women’s Championship on SmackDown After 15 Years in Wrestling

STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE Superstar Zelina Vega is making waves as she transitions into her new role on SmackDown while celebrating 15 years in the wrestling industry. Known for her dynamic presence, Vega is eager to chase the Women’s United States Championship currently held by Chelsea Green.

Vega, who completed her 15th anniversary in wrestling earlier this month, originally debuted in 2010 with Women Superstars United. As a former Women’s Tag Team Champion, she has built a strong reputation across various promotions, including TNA Wrestling. Her career took a significant turn when she joined WWE in 2017.

During her early years in WWE, Vega served as a manager for Andrade, gaining valuable experience on NXT and the main roster. This role established her presence in the promotion and helped prepare her for becoming a full-time competitor in 2020, leading to coveted opportunities.

In 2021, Vega made history by winning the inaugural Queen of the Ring, further solidifying her status within WWE. Since her recent shift to SmackDown during the Transfer Window, fans are eager to see what the future holds for the superstar, particularly regarding her aspirations for the Women’s United States Championship.

“I’m focused on the Women’s United States Championship,” Vega said recently. “I have my sights set on Chelsea Green, and I believe I can bring this title home.” Vega almost captured a title in 2023, coming close to defeating Rhea Ripley at Backlash in Puerto Rico, a match that showcased her talent and garnered fan support.

Since then, Vega has been vocal about her desire for another title opportunity and has teased a potential matchup against Green. With WWE officially on the Road to WrestleMania, the competitive landscape for women’s titles has expanded, including the introduction of two new championships.

As the season progresses, the WWE Universe is left to wonder how Vega will be positioned on SmackDown and if she will seize a championship shot at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania. The anticipation builds as fans await her next move and potential matches in the weeks to come.
