Originating from Queens, Vega lost her father in the horrific terrorist attack in New York on 9/11 in 2001.

Earlier this year, WWE aired a special episode of SmackDown from Madison Square Garden that paid tribute to the victims of this terrible tragedy.

Queen Vega was initially booked to compete on the show and even had special ring gear made for the show. However, her match was pulled and she did not appear on the show.

The RAW Superstar was asked if competing at Survivor Series in Brooklyn, New York, was a redemption for missing the SmackDown tribute earlier this year. Vega admitted that she hadn't really thought about it:

"I haven't thought about that to be honest. The reason why the last one was such an important piece of my gear, nobody really knows the truth and some people were like what does that have to do with her dad? That's for me. But for this one, I didn't really think of it as a redeeming thing. I do know that I have the New York colors in me, so it's representing in that way but it's also I feel like I am such a representation for anime fans, for gaming, gamer girls or whatever. I feel like I also need to keep that a part of me whether I am a Queen or not. I never really had someone like that until AJ, no one was really doing that. It's really cool to find something in common with people who don't have representation like that. You knew what you were doing when you had me and Xavier Woods the gamer King and Queen in WWE," concluded Zelina Vega.

Competing in front of her home state fans, Queen Vega is sure to receive a huge ovation, despite being a heel.


#3 Queen Vega argues with WWE RAW Survivor Series teammate Rhea Ripley

During the interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Sid Pullar III, Queen Vega got into a verbal altercation with her fellow Team RAW WWE Survivor Series teammate Rhea Ripley.

Vega was asked if she will play nice and co-exist with her fellow WWE RAW teammates, despite not personally liking them.

The WWE Queen's Crown Tournament winner promised to "play nice" as long as her teammates did, which lead to this back and forth between Vega and Rhea Ripley:

Queen Zelina: I promise to play nice if my team plays nice. Where's Rhea? There she is. Rhea, do you promise to play nice?
Rhea Ripley: With you, hell no!
Queen Zelina: Then I don't want to play nice.
Rhea Ripley: Shut up.
Queen Zelina: I hate you; I hate you and everything you stand for, you pixie! We are going to be great; it's going to be so good.

Despite "hating" her teammate, Vega will be forced to co-exist with WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Rhea Ripley in the Survivor Series match for the sake of brand supremacy.
