Injury forces Vega out of the number one contender’s tournament

Summary

– B-Fab replaced Zelina Vega in the quarterfinals due to injury

– Natalya advanced in the WWE Speed Women’s Number One Contender’s Tournament

– No official update on the severity of Vega’s injury or her return timeline

Zelina Vega’s journey in the WWE Speed Women’s Number One Contender’s Tournament hit an unexpected roadblock after an injury forced her to withdraw. On the December 27 episode of WWE Speed, Vega was set to face Natalya in the quarterfinals, but the match featured B-Fab as a last-minute replacement instead.

Commentator Corey Graves addressed the situation during the broadcast, confirming that Vega was sidelined due to injury. While Natalya ultimately defeated B-Fab to move forward in the tournament, WWE has not disclosed details about Vega’s condition, leaving fans concerned about her status.

This marks Vega’s first absence since her December 9 appearance on WWE Raw, where she competed in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament but fell short in a three-way match. With no official word on her return, fans are left hoping that the injury is minor and Vega will be back in action soon.
