Zelina Vega, currently in her second stint with WWE, continues to be a fan favorite despite her recent elimination from the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament on Monday Night Raw. Vega, a former Queen of the Ring and member of the LWO, competed in a Triple Threat Match where Lyra Valkyria pinned Ivy Nile to advance. However, fans in the arena and online took note of Vega appearing to wave goodbye after her loss, sparking speculation about her future with the company.
According to PWInsider.com, there is no truth to the rumors of Vega leaving WWE. She remains under contract for several more years, and her post-match wave was not an indication of a departure. In fact, Vega received the loudest reaction during her entrance, underscoring her popularity with the live crowd.
The elimination of Vega so early in the tournament did not sit well with many fans, overshadowing Valkyria’s victory to some extent. On social media, the #PushZelina trend resurfaced, with fans voicing their disappointment over her early exit. Negative comments about Vega’s elimination also appeared on WWE’s YouTube video for the match, although much of the discussion was centered around Valkyria’s win.
As one of WWE’s most consistently supported talents, Vega’s fan base continues to advocate for her to receive more prominent opportunities in the company.
