8 Ups And 6 Downs From WWE Raw (April 20)

5. Zelina Reaching Zenith

Her stable might not be the dominant force it could be, but Zelina Vega is delivering the goods each week on Raw.

Vega joined the commentary team during Austin Theory’s match against (her real-life husband) Aleister Black, and she proceeded to verbally shred Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton – though beating up Saxton is just a rite of passage in WWE. Zelina called Phillips overconfident as an announcer, bristled at them talking over her, told them they were too dumb to know when she was insulting them, and was aghast at Saxton celebrating when Black took advantage in the match.

Week after week, Vega is getting more confident as a mouthpiece for a stable rather than just a manager/valet for one wrestler. She certainly has staying power and could actually be a force on Raw if her charges could string together a few victories.
