WWE Champion Zelina Vega recently reflected on her historic win as the inaugural Queen of the Ring. In a post on X, she thanked fans after the WWE’s official account shared a short interview from the “WWE’s Greatest Moments” series. Vega wrote, “So grateful to be in the @WWE History books as a first ever. Truly a dream come true.” The tournament, held in 2021, saw her defeat Doudrop to claim the title, while Xavier Woods became King of the Ring by beating Finn Balor.
Vega’s achievement marked a major milestone in her career, solidifying her status as one of the most beloved female stars on the SmackDown roster. Earlier this year, she added another accolade by becoming the second‑ever WWE Women’s United States Champion, defeating Chelsea Green on the April 25 episode of SmackDown. She successfully defended the title against Green in a rematch at Saturday Night’s Main Event in May before losing it to Giulia on the June 27 episode of SmackDown.
These accomplishments underscore Vega’s hard work and dedication, positioning her as a key figure in the Women’s Revolution and paving the way for future generations of female wrestlers. Her historic Queen of the Ring victory and subsequent championship reign have cemented her place in WWE history, and fans will be eager to see what comes next for Vega on SmackDown, including any potential bid for the Women’s United States Championship.
