WWE superstar Zelina Vega discusses appearing in Street Fighter 6, her big win in WrestleMania Backlash, and her hopes for her future in the WWE.
Summary Zelina Vega is one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE, and she’s just beginning to scratch the surface of her sports entertainment career. This past April, Vega teamed up with one of her childhood idols, the legendary Rey Mysterio in the Main Event an episode of one of WWE’s hottest weekly shows, Friday Night Smackdown. This wasn’t any ordinary episode of the weekly wrestling show.
Zelina Vega: Well, it was something that her and I just kind of were doing anyway. Whenever we'd hang out, we would be talking about all kinds of stuff. It was gaming stuff, anime stuff. And I was like, I feel like there's other people relate to this. So, why don't we just do a podcast and just see what happened? And she was like, I think we should. It kind of came together really quickly, actually.
A dream came true for you recently. You were in Street Fighter 6 as a commentator. That is incredible. Talk to me about that experience a little bit. That has to be like a dream come true moment. What other video game would you like to be included in or bring to life either on the big screen or as a series?
The Batman Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Knight, that whole series is amazing. And I think you'd really love that if you like Batman at all. So, yes, it hooked me so, so much. So, yeah, those are the big ones that I'm into right now. But my husband's also really big on DMZ. He's playing a lot of DMZ right now. So, you kind of end the cyberpunk game, obviously. So you kind of get to play a little, I guess, story mixed with just fun fighting at the same time.
I was at WrestleMania in SoFi. I was jealous that I didn't get to go to WrestleMania Backlash in Puerto Rico because that crowd was fire. Tthat crowd was complete fire, talk to me about the moment of challenging for the Smackdown Women's Championship in front of that crowd. Zelina Vega: I don't know because it's still crazy to think that that's a legitimate thing. And Rey had sent me the pictures from that past. No, was it Smackdown? No, I don't think it was Smackdown. It was a Fastlane. He sent me pictures from Fastlane, these really good pictures. And he's like, Oh, these are really great. If you wanted to post them, I don't know if you wanted them or not, but I thought, these pictures are really awesome.
