Zelina Vega Reacts To Her Match Being Cut From WWE "Super" SmackDown
WWE didn't give Zelina Vega her MSG moment on Friday; Vega reacted on Twitter.
Zelina Vega has reacted to reports that her planned SmackDown match was cut due to time constraints.
Fightful Select leaked news that Vega was supposed to team with Carmella to face Liv Morgan and a mystery partner on Friday night's special episode, but WWE chiefs binned the bout last-minute. Annoyingly for Vega, she'd been speaking about how much wrestling inside Madison Square Garden would mean to her, and said it was important to "take it all in".
The match didn't happen though, and Zelina wasn't shy about posting some reaction on Twitter. She posted some pics of the flashy new gear she'd had made for the show (including one in front of the giant SmackDown logo), then included the caption, "Nevermind".
Ouch.
Working MSG would've meant the world to Vega - she was deployed to speak passionately about the horrors of 9/11 pre-show, and wanted to follow that up by working in-ring on SmackDown. Timing is everything in TV though, and WWE obviously felt they couldn't squeeze the tag match onto formats in the end.
There's been no reaction from Carmella or Liv Morgan quite yet.
