The WWE Star Opens Up About Her Drive, the Crowd’s Support, and Honoring Her Late Father
In a touching revelation, WWE’s Zelina Vega shared her deep-rooted motivation to clinch a title in the wrestling arena. The date, September 11, holds a somber significance for Vega, marking the tragic loss of her father in the 2001 terrorist attacks. While she’s a part of the SmackDown roster, Vega wasn’t slated for the September 11 episode of WWE Raw. However, her determination remains unwavering, with her eyes set on honoring her father’s memory with a title win.
During her conversation on Busted Open Radio, Vega expressed her desire to earn her title, rather than it being handed to her out of sympathy. She emphasized her wish to be recognized for her talent and dedication. Vega’s recent performances have garnered significant crowd support, which she believes should be noticed for a while. She feels that if the fans continue to rally behind her, the WWE will have to make a pivotal decision regarding her title shot.
Vega’s journey in wrestling is deeply intertwined with her promise to her late father. Even after facing setbacks, including being let go in 2020, her commitment to fulfilling this promise has kept her going. A poignant moment that reinforced her resolve was when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson visited the 9/11 memorial and acknowledged her father, a wrestling icon fan.
With her unwavering spirit and the crowd’s growing support, Vega’s journey in WWE is one to watch. As she continues to push forward, her heartfelt mission is a testament to her dedication to her craft and her father’s memory.
