She has since defended her title successfully, notably facing Chelsea Green again at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Vega’s string of victories has solidified her status among WWE’s elite women wrestlers.
The champion’s recent feud with The Green Regime has seen her outlast challengers such as Chelsea Green, Piper Niven, and Alba Fyre.

These victories have increased her momentum and kept her firmly in the spotlight as champion.
Emerging Challengers and What’s Next for the Title
With Vega’s ongoing success comes new rivalry. Former NXT Women’s Champion Giulia confronted Vega backstage, making it clear she intends to pursue the Women’s United States Championship.
