It will be interesting to see if Zelina can live up to her word and retain her title at Saturday Night's Main Event. Fans are really excited for this match and many will be rooting for both women.

Zelina Vega responds to the claims that she won the US Title because of Aleister Black

Zelina Vega defeated Chelsea Green to become the new Women's US Champion on the same SmackDown episode where her husband Aleister Black made his WWE return. This led to many fans claiming that Zelina only won the title because Aleister was also planned to return the same night .

Zelina dismissed all such claims while speaking with Peter Rosenberg on Hot 97 . She admitted that it was surreal to have two such big moments on the same night.

"It’s like the fact that, mind you, this was not planned, which I laugh about when I see a lot of the fans are like, ‘Oh my God, the only reason that she got this title is because her husband was coming back.’ I’m like, ‘Don’t you think they would have made it the world title?’" [19:57-20:07]

It was great to see Zelina win her first singles championship in WWE on the same night Aleister Black made his much awaited return. Fans are rooting for Zelina in her upcoming match against Chelsea Green at SNME.
