During an appearance on this week’s Wrestling With Freddie podcast, Zelina Vega recalled delivering a receipt to Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) during the women’s Royal Rumble match at the 2022 event.
It was payback for Vega after Mone had nailed her with a Meteora while helping Bianca Belair against her months earlier. Vega stated,
“I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ And, of course, she was super apologetic and whatever, but then I was like, ‘Just no. Girl, you got a receipt [coming], I swear to god.’ Like, I was so mad. And then she’s like, ‘Okay, cool. Whatever.’ Royal Rumble happens, and I knew was gonna eliminate her. I was like, ‘This is my moment. This is it.’ So, I think I kicked the soul out of her. I kicked her so hard. And she flew back and she landed on the floor. I see her just shaking her head like this, and I knew she knew that was what I was waiting for.”
Later on, Vega clarified her statements after her comments from the podcast began to receive some online backlash. She said,
“Lol guys, it was all in good fun. Don’t take everything so seriously. If you actually hear the interview, you see that I was laughing remembering those times because her and I knew it was just jokes and apart of it all. Pitchforks away and breathe.”
