Zelina Vega rejects claim that she won the WWE women’s U.S. title due to Aleister Black’s return

As previously noted, a lot of people within WWE were said to have been “legitimately surprised” when Zelina Vega won the United States Women’s Championship from Chelsea Green. While speaking to Peter Rosenberg, Zelina commented on the coincidence of winning the title on the same night that her husband Aleister Black returned to the company…

“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?’

But anyways, secondly, just to have this happen the same night, literally only 10 minutes apart from when he came back, was another moment where you’re like, ‘Did this happen?’” (quote courtesy of RingsideNews.com)
