Zelina Vega was shocked to know she was winning the championship, she revealed it herself
Zelina Vega’s name was announced, and her dream moment became real. In the SmackDown episode right after WrestleMania 41, she defeated Chelsea Green to become the WWE Women’s United States Champion. But the biggest twist was that Zelina came to know about her win only one hour before the show.
Zelina shared this on a podcast. She said when she heard that she was going to win, she couldn’t believe it. She said that the moment her name was announced, her emotions came out. While walking on the ramp, her reaction was real because during the match her mind was in work mode, but when it ended, she felt like she was little Thea Trinidad again, the girl who used to watch WWE on TV and dream big.
Chelsea Green had interference during the match, but Vega used her move and won the title
Chelsea Green didn’t come alone to the match. Her team was with her, Piper Niven and Alba Fyre, who she calls her Secret Hervice. Both interfered several times during the match. But the referee removed both of them from ringside, after which Vega got her chance.
Zelina used her finishing move Code Red and pinned Chelsea to win the title. This was an emotional moment for her where her dream finally came true.
In the rematch too, Zelina Vega won again
Chelsea Green asked for a rematch at Saturday Night’s Main Event. This time too, she tried her best to take back the title, but Zelina Vega again used the same Code Red move and defeated her.
This time the match was more intense. Green tried hard, but in the end she not only lost the match but also broke her nose.
Zelina Vega’s title win story became a motivation for fans
What makes this win special is that Zelina Vega won the championship without any planning, on a sudden call. In just one hour, she changed her mindset, fought the match, handled the interference, and used her signature move to win.
In her own words, “I felt like an eight-year-old girl again.” This story is an example for anyone chasing their dream – sometimes the biggest surprise in life comes just one hour before.
