Vega then took to Twitter and confidently claimed that she would defeat Ripley and become the next SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Zelina Vega’s emotions heading into WWE Backlash
Vega will compete in Puerto Rico for the first time in her career and it will be in a championship match. She will also be Ripley’s first challenger since Nightmare won the title at WrestleMania 39. During a recent appearance on The Bump, Vega expressed her excitement and nervousness heading into the Backlash event in her home country.
Vega’s journey in WWE
Zelina Vega has been with WWE for several years but has never held the SmackDown Women’s Championship title.
