Zelina Vega has become a promo goddess in WWE, and she's also capable of mixing it up physically when the company give her the chance. That Hurricanrana spot from the ring apron is a regular highlight of Andrade's matches, for example. If she couldn't do that, Zelina might distract his opponents with some dance.

Specifically, belly dance.

Vega started belly dancing years ago when she spotted Shakira performing and was inspired to take it up. Once she started, Zelina found she was a natural who loved to make her hips pop. The sultry, almost snake-like movements of the expressionist style come easy to her.

So, there you go. It's a bit shocking that Vince McMahon didn't hear about this, shout, "I love it" and then cast Vega as a belly dancer on NXT. Don't laugh, because it would've been a bit less comical than casting Becky Lynch as a Riverdance reject.
