Why does Zelina Vega have a British Accent?

In 2021, WWE conducted the Queen of the Ring Tournament for the first time, similar to the King of the Ring Tournament. In which, Zelina Vega participated and crowned the “Queen” title at Crown Jewel by defeating Doudrop in the finals. On the following episode of Raw, Zelina had a coronation ceremony and was adorned with a cape, crown, and scepter. She then changed her name to Queen Zelina and adopted a British accent subsequently. It caught the attention of WWE fans and started commenting on her strange new British accent on social media. Zelina later reported that Vince suggested this idea to her to do an accent which should be so bad. WWE usually associates King and Queen with England and thus she had the British accent as an unwanted part of the throne.
