After Rhea Ripley’s emotional relinquishment of her WWE Women’s World Championship on Monday Night RAW, attention turns to potential contenders for the vacant title.
Among those expressing interest is Zelina Vega, a 33-year-old star who previously faced Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Following Ripley’s departure due to a reported shoulder injury sustained in a backstage attack by Liv Morgan, WWE announced the initiation of the hunt for a new women’s champion on next week’s RAW.
While the lineup remains undisclosed, Vega’s retweet of the title match announcement suggests she’s eyeing the opportunity.
Vega’s tweet, accompanied by a thinking emoji, hints at her aspirations for the coveted championship. This move aligns with her goal of claiming a singles title to silence doubters and validate her contributions to WWE.
Currently part of the LWO faction on SmackDown, led by Rey Mysterio, Vega expressed gratitude for her WWE journey while emphasizing her desire to capture the Women’s World Championship.
Despite previous accolades, including being the first-ever Queen of the Ring and a tag team champion, Vega sees the singles title as the ultimate validation of her abilities.
