While Zelina Vega came up short in her match against Rhea Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WWE Backlash 2023, there is one person who believes Vega should have won the match.
On Monday’s edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray stated that he believes there should have been a title switch – even it were only for a matter of days. He said,
“There are certain times in this business you do things for other reasons beyond just the business. I don’t think Zelina is a better wrestler than Rhea, but if there was ever a moment for Rhea to slip on a banana peel and for [Zelina] to get the one-two-three, it was that night in Puerto Rico, just so we could see that championship around her waist with her family coming in the ring [and] looking up at dad in the heavens. Why not put that championship on her for two days? Why not get her over to the 9/11 memorial to take some pictures … at her dad’s final resting place that she can have forever and ever?”
