Zelina Vega recently shared insights about her evolving character in WWE during an appearance on The Babyfaces Podcast. Currently paired with her real-life husband Aleister Black, the duo has been making waves on Friday Night SmackDown. Vega emphasized that she is not returning solely to a managerial role, and will continue to be an active competitor in the ring.
Vega expressed her excitement over this latest version of her character, describing it as the “purest” and most enjoyable form she has portrayed thus far. “I really wanna stress that, because people thought that when I got with my husband, it meant ‘she’s a manager again’ and that we’re losing her as a wrestler,” she remarked. “That’s not the case at all.” She highlighted her diverse roles in WWE history, including those of manager and queen, but feels that this current iteration reflects her true self.
She also shared her enthusiasm for working with snakes as part of her character, noting, “I’ve loved snakes forever. So, it’s nice to just embrace this form of me and really get to put that out there for people.” Fans have welcomed this transformation, as seen during her entrance alongside Black, which was met with positive reactions.
Looking ahead, Vega and Black are set to compete in tag team action on the December 12 SmackDown, where they will take on The Terror Twins, featuring Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest. This match promises to showcase their dynamic as a duo while maintaining Vega’s commitment to her in-ring career.
With such a unique and engaging character narrative, Zelina Vega is poised to capture the attention of WWE fans even more as she continues to evolve in front of the audience.
