Zelina Vega impressed in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match

This year's women's Money in the Bank ladder match was a lot of fun to watch. While IYO Sky walked out of the event winning the briefcase, all women in the match gave it their best shot. One such superstar who shined during the match was Zelina Vega.

On June 2nd, Vega defeated Lacey Evans to secure a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Since then, the crowd was excited to see her compete. With many expectations on her shoulders, Vega too delivered. Many times, she was close to winning the competition.

Not only did she indulge in brawls with every superstar in the match, but she also produced an iconic moment that will be played for years to come. At one instance in the match, Zelina Vega and Zoey Stark were on the ladder together. That's when Vega delivered a powerbomb to Stark off the ladder and the two landed on another ladder placed below.

This moment between Vega and Stark was called the highlight of the night by many. While Vega failed to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, her performance calls for her to receive a major push and a good feud heading towards SummerSlam.
