"I am a threat" - Former WWE champion reacts after "trending for five days" amid slump

WWE has been building many stars over the past several months under Triple H’s creative leadership. A former champion needs a big push and recently responded to fans' love.

Last week’s episode of RAW saw Zelina Vega pick up a loss against Sonya Deville after Shayna Baszler nearly broke her arm outside the ring. This week, Vega fought through the arm injury to pick up a win over Shayna’s partner, Zoey Stark.

The 33-year-old star used her arm brace to secure the win. While speaking on RAW Talk after the match, the former Queen of the Ring noted that she was going to continue to prove herself courtesy of the WWE Universe’s support.

"I think that’s exactly it. I am a threat. They know that. Just like Dominik [Mysterio] knew that when he got involved in my championship match against Liv [Morgan]. He knew that if he didn’t get involved, I would be standing here as champion. That’s a dream that I’m not giving up on. The WWE Universe has never given up on me. I’ve been trending now for five days because they are so ready for a change. Just like I am. It’s time that I start proving myself right, shutting people up, but most of all, proving the WWE Universe right as well," Zelina Vega said. [H/T Fightful]

Zelina Vega noted that she was a threat to the women’s division. That was the reason why people had to interfere in her matches to ensure she did not pick up the win. She is still looking for her first big singles title win in the Stamford-based promotion.

Fans have been pushing for the company to give the former Women’s Tag Team Champion a push as she has recently seen a slump in her bookings. Even though she has picked up several losses, fans are still hopeful of seeing Vega win a singles title someday.

Zelina Vega has had a few big matches in WWE

In 2023, Zelina Vega had the opportunity of a lifetime when she challenged Rhea Ripley for the then-SmackDown Women's Championship at Backlash. The match was held in Puerto Rico, and Vega had a chance to win the big one in front of her home fans. Unfortunately, the 33-year-old star was unsuccessful at winning the title.

A recent episode of RAW saw Zelina Vega get another shot at the Women’s World Championship. She challenged Liv Morgan for the title, but Dominik Mysterio’s interference cost her the match.

WWE has given the Latino World Order member several big chances but always pulled back when it comes to giving her the big singles title win. Vega has a Women’s Tag Team Championship to her name and has also won the Queen of the Ring tournament in the past.

Fans will hope to see her get the big win later this year or next year. Zelina deserves to have a run with a top women’s title in the future.
