#1 Worst: Banning Zelina Vega from ringside

I know that this will be an unpopular opinion for many. But I'm 32 years old, which means that I discovered wrestling at a time when managers were an important part of the business. I think Zelina Vega is as good a manager as anyone. Her expressions sold that match that transpired on last week's show.

By banning Zelina Vega from ringside, WWE cut out an important element that could have made the 2-out-of-3 falls match feel special. Zelina Vega is unique in the sense that she's not merely eye candy like so many other managers are. She is a wrestler and also gets physically involved in the match.

I would have personally had her try to interfere again. Only this time, the smart and experienced veteran Rey Mysterio would know a counter for her interference.

But, if you feel differently let me know about it.
