WWE Superstar Zelina Vega recently spoke with Newsday to discuss a variety of topics, including her friendship with CM Punk.
Over the weekend, Vega took to Twitter to post a photo of a red “X,” which came in the middle of WWE Payback 2023. Many fans thought this was a reference to CM Punk and a show of support for him. That wasn’t the case.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On wanting to see Punk back in WWE: “I wish him the best. Would it be great to see him again? Absolutely.”
On her tweet that people thought was about Punk: “Rey had this jacket on during our entrance, and he put a big, red ‘X’ on Dominik’s face, because his face was on the jacket. And that became the thing — putting a big, red, ‘X’ on Dominik’s face. So that was something we were going to run with.”
On her experiences with Punk: “I don’t know much about his situation with AEW, but I have always had a fantastic relationship with CM Punk. You hear all these things about him. I am so big on not listening to other people’s experiences, the dirt sheets, all that crap. He’s always been a fantastic person. There’s layers to people. And when people are just so hung up on the outer layers of what a person can be, you get stuck there. And if you want to stay there, that’s great. But when you get to know the core of a person, that’s where I like to hang out. To me, Punk’s been nothing but great. So will the ‘X’ be meaning putting an ‘X’ on Dominik’s face, and CM Punk? It absolutely can be, because, I’m a big supporter of him. And he’s always been that way for me.”
