In a new “Fox Digital,” Zelina Vega commented on being a part of wrestling history as WWE Women’s US Champion, the first Queen of the Ring and more. She said,
“It feels amazing. When I was growing up, I just wanted to be a part of it. And of course, I wanted to be champion. I made this huge thing in my mind when I was a kid, I was like, ‘I’m gonna be champion, this is gonna happen for me.’ I didn’t see a Plan B in my mind. Now, it’s like, not only did you make it, not only you’re champion, you’re also a part of history. First-ever Queen of the Ring, like I never thought that was gonna happen.”
She continued, “So, it’s still shocking me but also that eight-year-old Thea that was like trying to get all of this sorted out in my mind. I didn’t see a Plan B, I was so stubborn. I was like, ‘No, this is happening.’ So, proving her right, it feels like the most amazing feeling.”
During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bishop Dyer commented on an interaction with Vince McMahon that has stuck with him over the years.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the interaction: “I’m walking down the row of tables towards Vince and Vince stops me and goes ‘That’s far enough, I just wanna say something real quick…You’re not as good as you think you are.’ And I was like ‘What the f**k?’ And he was like ‘That’s it, see ya later.’”
On the moment sticking with him: “[Road] Dogg texts me immediately like ‘It’s gotta be a test.’ And so like it was in my mind for a long time…We’re probably [9 years removed] and I still think about that moment.”
On taking inspiration from the interaction: “I need to prove to these people that I’m that good. I need to get better by talking to Cena, talking to Roman…It challenged me to go ‘I’m not there, but I’ll get there.’”
