Zelina Vega’s unexpected victory in WWE SmackDown, where she managed to defeat Chelsea Green and claim the WWE Women’s United States Champion title, left many in the changing room astonished.
Reportedly, the details of the title transition were strictly confidential with only a select group privy to the plan beforehand. A bulk of the WWE talent and staff learned about the decision only when Vega clinically managed the three-count live on air.
The spontaneous and pure reactions backstage illustrated genuine astonishment, owing to the closely guarded secret of the match’s outcome which protected the sudden impact of the moment.
The triumph of Vega concludes Green’s impressive 131-day reign as the pioneering Women’s U.S. Champion. It further signifies a career landmark for Vega, marking her debut single title victory in WWE. Notwithstanding attempts at interruption from Piper Niven and Alba Fyre, both were dismissed from ringside by the referee. This move paved the way for Vega to seize the opportunity with a Code Red and secure the pinfall.
