5 directions for Zelina Vega on WWE RAW

WWE SmackDown hosted the first night of the 2021 Draft on Friday. While several names were drafted on-air, the moves continued after the cameras switched off.

One star who was drafted after the show was Zelina Vega. She recently returned to the company after being released back in November 2020.

Since her return, Vega has been part of several matches on SmackDown and has formed a partnership with Carmella. "The most beautiful woman in all of WWE" is yet to be drafted, but Vega is bound to return to the red brand.

The following list looks at different directions for Zelina Vega on RAW.

#5. Zelina Vega and Carmella push for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships

Zelina Vega was part of Monday Night RAW alongside Andrade last year. This time she's alone as the latter has left the company to work for AEW.

However, Carmella will likely be heading over to Monday Night RAW to work with her real-life partner Corey Graves. This means that the two women can continue as partners and even push for the Tag Team Championships.

Current champions Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley were drafted to RAW on Friday night. They would be open to the challenge of Carmella and Vega, given the lack of contenders on the red brand.

Since many women's tag teams have been split in recent months, the company desperately needs more tag teams in the Women's Division. Vega and Carmella could be an exciting team.

#4. Zelina Vega tag alongside Austin Theory on WWE RAW

Zelina Vega isn't the only WWE Superstar to be drafted back to Monday Night RAW. NXT star Austin Theory will return to the red brand after spending the best part of the past year working in the black-and-gold brand.

Before Theory headed down to NXT, he was part of a storyline with Zelina Vega. She initially brought Theory up to RAW before severing ties with him. He then became one of the disciples of Seth Rollins.

The two stars might team up again after finding themselves on RAW. A reunion could be mutually beneficial for both parties if WWE finds an entertaining way to book their story.

#3. Zelina Vega could challenge for the WWE RAW Women's Championship

Charlotte Flair was recently drafted to Friday Night SmackDown as part of the 2021 WWE Draft. This means the RAW Women's Championship is now expected to switch hands.

The Queen has a few weeks before officially moving to SmackDown. So far there are several women, including Zelina Vega and Bianca Belair, who could challenge Flair.

Zelina Vega is a talented athlete who can become a Women's Champion one day. Her move to Monday Night RAW could finally be her chance to grab gold and prove her worth. After becoming the champion, she can finally lead the women's division.

#2. Zelina Vega could join forces with Alexa Bliss on WWE RAW

Alexa Bliss will be out of WWE programming to undergo sinus surgery, per reports. She last wrestled at Extreme Rules when Charlotte Flair defeated her and destroyed her doll, Lilly.

It's unclear whether she will return on RAW, but linking up with Zelina could be an exciting storyline. Both women are cosplay fans, and Vega could be a unique addition to Bliss' current storyline.

It's unknown if Extreme Rules was the end of Lilly or just the end of the storyline where she was a doll. Lilly might decide to possess a person instead, leading to many more possibilities for the creative team moving forward.

#1. Zelina Vega could manage another NXT star upon WWE RAW return

Several WWE NXT Superstars are expected to be called up to the main roster as part of night two. Earlier, Zelina Vega successfully managed Andrade and led him to various championship wins.

WWE might book Vega to manage a new star on RAW. This would allow her to wrestle in the women's division and be a part of intriguing storylines in the men's division. It will be interesting to see what route the company decides to take.

As mentioned earlier, draft moves will not materialize until WWE Crown Jewel on October 21. The October 22 edition of RAW will kick off the show with new rosters.
