Zelina Vega has many different options following her split from Andrade and Angel Garza

Zelina Vega has been seen as the business manager of Andrade over the past few years, ever since they became one of the most popular pairings in NXT.

In recent months, Zelina Vega has taken on a number of new projects including former NXT stars Austin Theory and Angel Garza. This has led to some issues with her original employee.

Andrade and Angel Garza came to blows last night on Monday Night RAW and Zelina Vega made the decision to walk away from both men, but where does this leave her?

Later in the night, she seemed to make it clear that she wanted the RAW Women's Championship. That could easily be an option for Zelina Vega, who has a wealth of experience both inside and outside of the ring.


#5 Zelina Vega could sign another NXT star

Zelina Vega seems to be a big supporter of NXT's developmental system, since she has been the one to bring both Austin Theory and Angel Garza up to the main roster in 2020.

Whilst this hasn't really helped Zelina Vega push forward in her career and has instead caused a number of issues with her business partner Andrade, it is an option.

Zelina Vega could decide to cut ties with both Garza and Andrade moving forward and instead head back down to NXT. There, she could recruit another star that she could then manage on the main roster.

She has already proved her skills as a manager and could easily find a star in NXT happy to allow her to assist them in a move to the main roster.

#4 Zelina Vega could enter a feud in the Women's division

Zelina Vega may have done her best work as a manager in WWE, but she also has experience as an in-ring performer. Vega is a former Knockout's Champion and could easily decide to switch things up now her managing days with Andrade look to be over.

The WWE Women's division is currently missing both Charlotte and Becky Lynch, whilst Sasha Banks is on the shelf following issues with Bayley. There wouldn't be a better time for Zelina Vega to step back into the spotlight, since the company needs some female talent who could steady the ship.

In the past, Zelina Vega has competed in the Women's Royal Rumble and been part of feuds with the likes of Bianca Belair and Candice LeRae. It's obvious that the former NXT star has what it takes to be a star on RAW, she just needs to be booked accordingly.

Lana was seen flirting with Angel Garza last night, which could spark a new feud there. Alternatively, Zelina Vega could backpedal into a feud with broadcaster Charly Caruso after their recent issues.

#3 Zelina Vega could challenge Asuka

Last night on RAW, Zelina Vega came out following Asuka's title defence against Mickie James and slapped the RAW Women's Champion. It was a shock since Vega hasn't wrestled a lot recently and the Empress of Tomorrow has brushed aside all competition in her way.

It will be interesting to see if Zelina Vega is given a shot at the championship in the coming weeks, since Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are both busy elsewhere. As things stand, Asuka doesn't have a challenger at Clash of Champions.

This could be Zelina Vega's chance to prove herself as a worthy challenger after only being seen as Andrade's manager over the past few years. If Vega is able to make a good impression in her match against Asuka, there is nothing stopping her from moving into a much deeper feud.

There is also a rivalry with Bianca Belair that is yet to be settled, but that seems to have been brushed under the rug.

#2 Zelina Vega could continue managing Andrade

Zelina Vega and Andrade have been together throughout their entire WWE career. She has always had his back and helped him to numerous championships over the past few years.

Angel Garza became an issue for the two stars, coming between them on numerous occasions and ruining their chances of being RAW Tag Team Champions.

It could be that Zelina Vega opts to remain as Andrade's manager but decides to kick Angel Garza out of their group, much like Austin Theory a few months ago.

If given the chance, Zelina Vega would take Andrade's side over anyone else's and the feud between Garza and Andrade would definitely be a show-stealing one.

That being said, Zelina Vega being part of the feud would give Andrade much more of a boost. The star isn't quite there on the mic and since Garza looks as though he could be recruiting Lana, there could be room for the two women to feud on WWE TV at the side of this rivalry as well.

#1 Zelina Vega could manage her husband Aleister Black

Aleister Black and Zelina Vega worked together during their time in NXT, and it's hard to argue that the two stars wouldn't get along well in the same storyline again.

Now that Black has turned heel and Zelina Vega doesn't have a client, there is nothing stopping him from asking his real-life wife to take over his management.

The only issue with this move is that Black has recently been working on his own promo skills, improving as a result. It could be argued that having someone to talk for him would be a step backward.

That being said, Zelina Vega and Black would obviously love to work alongside each other, rather than against each other, and it could be an experiment worth trying.

Zelina Vega is fantastic as a heel and could help Black as part of his feud with Kevin Owens. It could also prompt more opportunities for both stars in the future and even open up the possibility of Andrade and Charlotte Flair vs. Black and Vega down the line.
