Any wrestling fan who has watched Fighting With My Family must have noticed the historic moment when Paige became the Divas Champion on her first night on RAW as part of the movie.

Paige ran into AJ Lee and Tamina on that night back in 2014 and was able to defeat Lee following the Paige Turner. This was added to the movie surrounding Paige's life but Tamina was taken out of the segment and AJ Lee's role was played by Zelina Vega.

At the time, Vega wasn't as well-known to the WWE audience, but it's easy to see why she was chosen for the part since the former TNA star is around the same height as AJ Lee and has very similar characteristics.

Vega has also proved over the past few years that she is excellent on the mic just like AJ, who rose to fame following her 'pipebomb' on the Women's Division. Zelina, on the other hand, cuts promos for her clients on RAW regularly.
