Rhea Ripley may be gearing up for her WrestleMania showdown against Becky Lynch, but the looming threat to her championship doesn’t end there.
Among the contenders lurking in the shadows is none other than Zelina Vega, whose determination seems unyielding despite setbacks.
In a recent social media post, Vega, a former adversary of Ripley, hinted at her intentions by announcing the renaming of one of her signature moves.
The move, previously known as the DDT, has been christened the “Leaf Hurricane” as an homage to her passion for anime, particularly the character Rock Lee from Naruto, who employs a similar technique.

Accompanying the announcement was a throwback image of Vega’s clash with Ripley, subtly indicating her desire for another shot at the title or perhaps a personal vendetta against the reigning champion.
Despite her allegiance with the LWO faction falling apart and the emergence of new rivalries within WWE, Vega’s focus remains squarely on Ripley and the coveted championship belt.
Vega’s resilience has not gone unnoticed by fans, who fondly recall her past encounters with Ripley and the electrifying atmosphere she brings to the ring.
Even in defeat, such as her previous loss to Ripley and IYO SKY, Vega has managed to leave a lasting impression, earning admiration from the WWE faithful.
Undeterred by past disappointments, Vega continues to petition WWE officials for another opportunity to challenge Ripley for the championship.
When will Zelina Vega get another title opportunity…. 🇵🇷✨

While the path to championship glory may be fraught with obstacles, Zelina Vega’s unwavering determination serves as a testament to her resilience and unwavering commitment to her goals.
As the WWE universe eagerly awaits her next move, one thing remains certain—Vega’s quest for redemption is far from over.
