Zelina Vega Secures WWE Women’s United States Championship

Zelina Vega's journey to becoming the WWE Women's United States Champion was marked by years of perseverance and overcoming doubt from others, despite her clear passion for wrestling from a young age. Initially valued more as a manager and promo talent, she expressed frustration at not being fully allowed to showcase her microphone skills, confident that she could dominate if given the chance. Her championship win was a shock to herself and fans alike, representing a significant milestone after numerous deflating title losses, though she always took lessons from those setbacks. Vega has embraced her role as a smaller competitor in the locker room, taunting doubters and proving her resilience by successfully defending her title against larger opponents. Beyond the ring, she has shared moments of joy, such as the return of Aleister Black to WWE, and camaraderie, including her friendship and training sessions with neighbor Rhea Ripley. The introduction of mid-card titles like the Women's United States Championship has expanded opportunities for female wrestlers, allowing Vega to finally secure solo gold after years of pursuit.
