Who is Elektra Lopez? Know all about the female star trending during WWE SmackDown 

Elektra Lopez made her way to the ring on WWE SmackDown along with former LWO star Santos Escobar. She has been a part of the WWE roster since 2021 and is in the midst of her second stint with the Stamford-based company.

Karissa Rivera, better known as Elektra Lopez in the WWE, hails from Bergen County, New Jersey, U.S. The 32-year-old WWE Superstar had initially signed with WWE back in 2018 but was released within a year. She then went on to compete at Ring Of Honor where she feuded with the likes of Sumie Sakai, Angelina Lov, and Kelly Klein.

On her return to WWE in 2021, Elektra Lopez aligned herself with Legado Del Fantasma in NXT, helping the heel faction beat Hit Row in a tag team match. She stuck with the group until it was called up to WWE SmackDown. After these events, Lopez then allied with Lola Vice. Their alliance came to an end when Vice eliminated her from a No.1 Contenders Battle Royal.

Lopez received her call-up to WWE SmackDown during her feud with Vice. The WXW Diamond Women's Champion made her presence known on the blue brand when she helped Santos Escobar beat Carlito earlier this year. She wrestled her final match on the developmental Brand on 30th January in a losing effort against Lola Vice.

Who replaced Elektra Lopez when Legado del Fantasma moved to WWE SmackDown?

Legado del Fantasma put Elektra Lopez on the map in the WWE. The group was a menace to deal with on NXT and when it moved to WWE SmackDown, it made life tough for many superstars on the roster. However, when the faction first arrived at the blue brand, Lopez was missing in action.

On their WWE SmackDown debut, Legado del Fantasma attacked Hit Row during their entrance. The group's main roster members consisted of Santos Escobar, Angel Garza, Humberto Carillo, and Zelina Vega. The inaugural Queen of the Ring winner had replaced Lopez in the faction.

Since arriving on the WWE SmackDown roster, Lopez has had only one match. She wrestled the WWE Superstar who replaced her in Legado del Fantasma, Zelina Vega. The two stars locked horns on the episode of the blue brand ahead of WrestleMania this year. The 32-year-old superstar got the better of Vega during that outing, seemingly avenging her replacement in Legado del Fantasma.
