Zelina Vega issues statement regarding her WWE women’s United States title victory

As seen during the April 25th 2025 edition of WWE Smackdown, Zelina Vega defeated Chelsea Green to become the new Women’s United States champion. After the match, Zelina commented on her victory…

“Remember that part when we were talking about earlier that I’m at a loss for words? I think it’s even more now. I don’t even know what to say. I’m looking at it and it doesn’t feel real because this was something that was just in my dreams and now it’s real life and I’m holding it. It’s kind of just crazy. So I’m like, I don’t know. I can’t believe it’s real. I can’t believe I’m holding this right now and saying that my name is in the history books as the second women’s United States champion. That’s absolutely insane to me.

I can’t wait to bring this home to my mom, to my stepdad, my brothers, my grandmother, everybody, my aunts. I can’t wait to just finally bring home singles gold to my family, it’s been a really amazing night for my household, so I’m very happy, very, very happy.” (quote courtesy of Corey Brennan)
