Zelina Vega recently spoke with ComicBook.com to discuss a variety of topics, including her new podcast with Dakota Kai.
Additionally, the LWO member expressed her desire to get Shotzi, Shayna Baszler, and others on her podcast.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On how the series came together: “Well, I had known Dakota for a while, and we always just had that in common where we can just get into the locker room and talk about games and what we’re playing right now. And then after a while, I was like, ‘Man, this is just so easy. Why don’t we just do a podcast?’ And she was like, ‘I think we should.’ Then it just evolved from there, and it actually went really quickly.
“Luckily, we have my friend Josiah [Williams], who used to do some work with NXT, and he’s the one that’s filming everything for us, editing everything for us. We’re very, very lucky to have him in that way because we were both not so tech-savvy, but that’s how it came about. It was really just finding ourselves talking about it anyway in the locker room and I’m like, why don’t we just record this. Let’s see if there are other people who can enjoy just weird things that we get into. One of the things that we recently did a deep dive into was Pokemon conspiracy theories and that kind of stuff. So it’s just fun to nerd out a little.”
On getting other WWE stars on the show: “We already have Mia Yim that we’re going to bring on the show. We’re going to mix it up. Mia’s going to come on. We’ll probably have Shotzi come on. We’ll have Shayna [Baszler] come on, and a few different people there who really have their own relationship with gaming.”
On tackling other topics beyond gaming: “It’s not even just specific to gaming. My thing is obviously gaming, but it’s also very much anime, so I think it’s cool to bring in things that are still kind of linked together. That’s why these conventions like Rock and Shock and the Horror conventions mixed with wrestling. I just feel like music, wrestling, and horror, they all go side by side. The same with cosplay, video games, and anime. I think it’s going to be cool to bring in some people, like this girl who I’m absolutely obsessed with, her name is Eleanor, but she goes by Snitchery. She’s a cosplayer, and I love her content, so I want to have somebody like her on there to talk cosplaying playing with us too.”
