Credit: WWE The WWE let go of a slew of talent recently, largely on the women's side, and just weeks after WrestleMania 42 went down in Las Vegas. Former United States Champion Zelina Vega was one of the more shocking releases, and now that she's gone, she's sharing how disappointed she was during and after her brief as Women's United States Champion.
Vega became the second-ever superstar to hold the women's U. S. Championship after defeating Chelsea Green in a title match on SmackDown .
She held the title for sixty-three days, with only one successful title defense against Green before she lost to Giulia. Following her release, Vega shared on Twitch how she felt about the run when prompted by a fan question in the chat (via @ WrestleMovement ): I didn't like it, I didn't like it. Because I wanted to do so much more with that.
I asked, and begged, and pleaded, and screamed; I wanted that title to be the workhorse title. Like most athletes who take hold of a WWE championship belt, Vega expected she'd get more television time and title defenses while in the spotlight. Instead, she was more of a transitional champion to make way for rising star Giulia to hold the glory.
