Zelina Vega is certainly one of the top female Superstars in WWE right now. Her stock continued to rise after returning last year and it truly reached a new level after WWE Backlash last week. Now it appears she has reflected on her experience during the event.

Zelina Vega’s career got a major shot in the arm after joining Legado Del Fantasma last year. Now part of the newly re-introduced Latino World Order, fans have been firmly behind Vega in a big way.

During the WWE Backlash Premium Live Event, Zelina Vega received a lot of support during her match against Rhea Ripley as the Puerto Rican fans in attendance cheered for everything she did. Despite showing a lot of heart, Vega was unable to defeat Ripley for the Smackdown Women’s Championship.

A day removed from the biggest match of her career, Zelina Vega took to her Instagram and reflected on the match. Vega noted that the weekend changed her life forever, and she stated that Triple H told her he was proud of her.

You have NO IDEA how much this meant to me. This weekend.. my life changed forever. I’m so honored.. so grateful and feel incredibly blessed to have had the support I had last night.. from the fans, my beautiful family, my hero’s, to my coworkers.. to finally hearing HHH say “I’m so proud of you.” …and he was talking to me this time ? I’m crying even typing this. To represent my people IN Puerto Rico.. man, I’ll never ever forget this.. neither will my family.. and I promise, you’ll get all of me EVERY TIME. This is not over, this is just the beginning.. someday I will become @wwe Women’s Champion.
