Zelina Vega Reveals The Original Pitch For The LWO On SmackDown

Zelina Vega is currently working alongside Santos Escobar and the LWO on WWE television.

Speaking on a recent episode of the “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, Vega explained how the idea was pitched to her, the evolution of the group so far, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On how it was pitched: “The way it was explained to me was, ‘Well, the group is new to the main roster and you’re very known by the SmackDown audience. And by putting him with you people go, ‘Oh what is this about, we already know her to be a heel manager, we know her to be the heel wrestler. If she’s introducing them, then that’s what they’re about.’ I think it was really just to help make the transition for the fans easier.”

On the group’s evolution: “It’s evolved so much since now, being with Rey, and first of all what the hell, eight-year-old Thea is like, ‘What is life,’ but now having Rey on our side and having LWO be a thing again it’s crazy,” Vega said. “Now it’s we’re wrestlers in a team, not me managing wrestlers.”
