WWE star Zelina Vega appeared on the Lightweights podcast to discuss various topics, including when she learned about her upcoming victory for the Women’s U.S. Title.

Vega said, โ€œSo first of all, I didnโ€™t even know [I was winning] until like a good hour before the show, so itโ€™s one of those things where you donโ€™t really believe it until you hear that. When I heard my name, this is like the moment you notice I started to get emotional.โ€

On being in the moment:

โ€œOn the ramp, thatโ€™s when I started to get emotional about it. Still when I pinned her, I was still in the moment and not really thinking. I was in work mode, and then all of a sudden I became Thea on the ramp. That was the moment. It was insane. It was just something that you donโ€™t really plan to feel and then all of a sudden youโ€™re just like Iโ€™m eight years old again.โ€
