WWE Clash of Champions: 5 Interesting facts and stats you need to know

#3. Zelina Vega challenges for her first women's title at Clash of Champions

Zelina Vega was perhaps as shocked as anyone when she defeated Mickie James this past week on RAW. As a result, she won the right to challenge Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship for the first time at Clash of Champions.

Vega was initially Andrade's manager, as well as the woman who brought both Angel Garza and Austin Theory to the main roster in recent months. However, the star made the decision to move forward with her own career a few weeks ago.

Notably, this may be Zelina Vega's first WWE championship match. It's also Asuka's first match at Clash of Champions and the first time in a number of months that WWE has relegated the women's title to the kickoff show.

These factors could be enough for Vega to come out on top and win her first title with WWE. Asuka has quite the target on her back right now and this match won't likely end with a clean finish.
