Zelina Vega is ready to do a double apple spit with Carlito now that the former U.S. Champion is part of the Latino World Order.
Carlito returned to WWE programming at Fastlane 2023 as the tag-team partner of Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar for their match against Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits.
Speaking with Screen Rant, Vega shared her fruit-based plans for the wrestling veteran. She said,
“I want to do a double spit an apple thing. I think that’d be fun. But I also know that I’d trip out and be like, Oh, the pressure. It’s going to be a little blip. I don’t even know if I’m going to be able to do it right. But no, I think it’s cool because I feel like it’s been so long that it’s going to give us a nice, refreshing feeling to give something the crowd to feel refreshed about. It’s always cool when you add somebody to the mix, but somebody as amazing and talented as Carlito, it’s just so fun because now you never know where we’re going to take it. I have no idea what will happen on Friday, for instance.
“It’s exciting for me to go to work and go, OK, what are we going to do now? What’s going to be the next step for us? So it’s just more exciting than anything else. And I think the crowd is ready for it. And my God, I haven’t seen this kind of support in a while because it just feels like I said this on ‘The Bump’, but I feel like we have so many people’s hopes and dreams, especially Latinos, I feel like we have so many of their hopes and dreams on our shoulders, and we carry it so proudly that we’re ready to take this to the next level.”
While Vega has yet to be announced for this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, her LWO ally Santos Escobar will face Montez Ford in a match set up by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
Tonight’s SmackDown will also see U.S. Champion Rey Mysterio come face-to-face with Logan Paul.
