Zelina Vega reminds the WWE Universe that the last time she faced Rhea Ripley one-on-one, she beat her in under a minute
During the show, the SmackDown Superstar also discussed how much this match against Rhea Ripley meant to her.
"I've tried to formulate my words when it comes to that question because I don't know that there actually is a good combination of words that could describe how I feel," Zelina Vega said.
While facing Ripley seems like an impossible challenge, Zelina Vega went out of her way to remind the WWE Universe that the last time they faced off one-on-one, she beat her in under a minute.
"Because it's not just something that I feel like I'm representing for my family. I'm representing for everyone that's rooting for me in Puerto Rico. My family that didn't get to see me wrestle yet in Puerto Rico and girls like me. I feel like it's a lot of pressure but also I'm so happy to carry that and I'm so happy to be able to say that I'm walking into Puerto Rico of all places. Okay, listen, it is against Rhea bloody Ripley. I understand what comes with that and it is no easy thing to defeat her. However, the last match that I did have as a singles. I did beat her in 45 seconds. There is that. So I'm feeling good. I just feel like there's a lot of pressure but I'm ready for it."
