On Instagram, Vega shared photos of her posing with Triple H while holding the Women's United States Championship. She also shared a backstage photo of her and Black as the couple shared a wholesome moment.
Zelina Vega's victory marked her first singles championship win in WWE. Her only other championship accomplishment was winning the Women's Tag Team Championships with Carmella. She is also a former one-time Queen of the Ring winner.
Meanwhile, her husband, Black, was signed to AEW and part of the House of Black faction. He was under contract with Tony Khan's promotion for four years before WWE finally started airing vignettes regarding the 39-year-old's return, which eventually happened on this week's SmackDown.
