WWE’s Zelina Vega On Why She Continues To Wrestle, WWE Title Aspirations

Host Bully Ray asked Zelina Vega what has kept her going, especially following her release from WWE in 2020, outside of the paycheck. She said she started wrestling because of her father and she feels as though she still has unfulfilled promises to him. Vega said she won’t feel fulfilled until she wins a championship.

“I think because I genuinely feel that it will happen, I still keep going. I have that. I have my husband who supports me so, so much. My family that do, and they were there in the crowd on … Saturday. I just feel like I have so many reasons to look forward that I don’t feel like it’s complete yet and I think that’s really my biggest thing,” she said.

The star spoke about a moment with WWE legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that was surreal to her. She said the moment was also motivating for her to keep going in her career.

“One of the things that happened that really made me feel like ‘wow, this is real’ was when Dwayne went to the 9/11 memorial with his daughter, Simone. When they went there and they took a picture next to his name, knowing [The Rock] was his favorite wrestler, I felt like that was such a ‘wow’ moment and I’m like, No, I have to keep doing this. I have to keep pushing forward.’ Because I know, it’s just something in me that just feels like it has to. It has to. There’s no reason why not.”
