Zelina Vega Reveals Reason Behind WWE Absence

WWE

Zelina Vega was absent from WWE between May and October 2022 and has now revealed the reason she was away.

Speaking on the Anna Faris is Unqualified podcast, the Legado del Fantasma member discussed injuries happen saying:

“It never happens on some really cool move or some crazy flip I did outside the ring. It’s always the littlest thing that will happen, and that’s how you get injured.

“Knock on wood, I actually hadn’t had any serious injuries until that point. It wasn’t even really that bad.”

She would then go on to focus on her own injury, explaining:

“This is silly, but one of my best friends and I were in a match, and she had given me this one called a Northern Lights Suplex, where basically she kind of flips me over her backwards, and her shoulder went into my chest, and I ruptured an implant.”

Vega’s response may surprise some, but she would see the positives in the situation, stating:

“But me, of course looking on the bright side, I was like, well they are 10 years old anyway, and I kind of wanted them bigger anyway.

“So it ended up working out. Lately I’m like, ‘I should have gone a little bigger, I don’t know,’ [laughs] why not?”

Vega is a former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, holding the titles with Carmella.
