Open To Competing For A Title In TNA Again
Vega responded candidly to questions about the idea of returning to compete in TNA, showing excitement about the prospect of holding championships in different promotions at the same time.
“I don’t say no to anything, really. It’s nice to know that there’s opportunities, for that to even be a possibility, I guess. It’s like one of those things where it’s like, oh, would you want to do this?’ It’s like, well, it was never an option. Same with [the Women’s US title]. It was never an option. So it was like, well, yeah. Let’s do all of it. Give me all the titles. I’ll take everything, let’s do this. Yeah, I think it’d be nice to kind of get in there and work with people I didn’t really get to work with. I mean, who knows?”

“But I think either way, TNA will always be a part of my story. I do look at Rosita, though, and go, ‘Who is that person?’ I feel like I don’t know her. She’s so far removed from who I am now; she was a baby. It’s just weird. It’s crazy to look back and say, yeah, I was tag champion there, tag champion here. It’s insane, such a weird world.”
—Zelina Vega, WWE Women’s United States Champion. Her thoughts showed both gratitude and a sense of disbelief at how much her path in professional wrestling has changed across organizations like TNA and WWE.
