Zelina Vega shares confident message ahead of WWE SmackDown

WWE Superstar Zelina Vega posted a social media update to share a confident message ahead of the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The LWO member lost a high-stakes match on Monday Night RAW earlier this month.

On the December 9 edition of the red brand's show, Vega competed against Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile in a WWE Women's Intercontinental Title Tournament First Round Triple Threat match. The three superstars traded moves in an entertaining bout, which ended with Valkyria pinning Nile to advance to the next round, where she will face IYO SKY next week on RAW.

Zelina Vega's loss meant she would have to wait longer to win her first singles championship. Earlier today, the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion took to her Instagram account to share multiple pictures of herself with a confident message.

"Can’t compete with me when you livin’ on recruit difficulty. #LVL34," she wrote.

Zelina Vega opens up about her desire to win a singles championship in WWE

Zelina Vega has made an impressive transition from WWE manager to in-ring performer. Earlier this year, the RAW Superstar reflected on her journey and revealed her next goal.

During an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, Vega said she was grateful to have worked closely with Rey Mysterio and Andrade. She mentioned winning the Queen of the Ring and Women's Tag Team titles. However, Zelina added that her goal was to win the WWE Women's Championship to prove her naysayers wrong.

"I feel like I've gotten the chance to do some amazing things, work with some amazing people. Andrade, and obviously, I got to work very closely with Rey. I got to be the first ever Queen of the Ring and tag champion, but I've never actually gotten to be WWE Women's Champion. So that's my goal. It's something that I really wanted to do and prove that I can do. There's been so many doubters and people who thought I couldn't do any of what I've accomplished," she said. [From 0:38 onwards]
