WWE Superstar Zelina Vega wrote a touching post on Instagram after her match at Backlash and thanked her husband, Malakai Black.
The event was held in Puerto Rico, where Vega received a tremendous ovation from the audience. Vega, who is of Puerto Rican origin, had challenged Rhea Ripley for the Smackdown Women's Championship.
Despite her best efforts, Zelina Vega was unable to defeat The Eradicator, who won the match after hitting the Riptide. Following the match, Vega expressed her gratitude to her fans in Puerto Rico for their support, as well as her make-up and outfit team, her on-screen team LWO, Triple H, and her husband, AEW star Malakai Black.

Vega thanked her supporters and husband, Malakai Black, for their support. She credited her success to him and mentioned how performing for her husband was an amazing experience.
"And now, I get to be the arms of my 7 fur babies & my incredibly supportive and loving husband @malakaiblxck .. I wouldn’t be where I am personally or professionally without him. Have to say, hitting the 619 for Rey, shimmying for Eddie Guerrero and then dropping Rhea with a meteora for my husband was the coolest thing ever," Zelina wrote.
The emotional message touched the hearts of many wrestling fans, who praised Vega for her dedication and her passion for wrestling.
