WWE Champion Zelina Vega Reflects on Historic Win

Zelina Vega, a prominent figure in the WWE, recently expressed her gratitude on social media for being the inaugural Queen of the Ring. The tournament, which took place in 2021, saw Vega defeat Doudrop to claim the title, while Xavier Woods became the King of the Ring by defeating Finn Balor.

In a post on X, Vega reacted to a tweet from the WWE’s official handle, which featured a short interview with her from the WWE’s Greatest Moments series. She stated, “So grateful to be in the @WWE History books as a first ever. Truly a dream come true.” This achievement marked a significant milestone in her career, solidifying her position as one of the most beloved female stars on the SmackDown roster.

Vega’s success did not stop there, as she went on to become the second-ever WWE Women’s United States Champion earlier this year. She defeated Chelsea Green on the April 25 episode of SmackDown to win the championship, making her the second woman in history to hold the title. Vega had a successful reign, defending her title against Chelsea in a rematch at Saturday Night’s Main Event in May. However, she lost the title to Giulia on the June 27 episode of SmackDown.

Vega’s achievements are a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport. As one of the key figures in the Women’s Revolution, she has paved the way for future generations of female wrestlers. Her historic win as the inaugural Queen of the Ring and her subsequent championship reign have cemented her place in WWE history. It will be interesting to see what’s next for Vega on the SmackDown roster, and whether she will make another bid for the Women’s United States Championship.
