WWE has been experiencing a surge in popularity lately, largely due to the creative direction led by Triple H, which has garnered significant support from fans.
However, amidst this success, discontent has arisen among certain segments of the WWE Universe regarding the booking of Zelina Vega. Fans took to social media to express their frustration after the star suffered another defeat on SmackDown.
With nearly seven years of tenure in the Stamford-based promotion, Vega’s journey has been eventful. Despite being released from her contract in 2020, she made a swift return to the company just eight months later.
While initially serving primarily as a manager, she transitioned into an active in-ring performer upon her return in 2021.
In the latest episode of SmackDown, Vega faced Tiffany Stratton in a Women’s Elimination Chamber qualification match. Despite Stratton’s limited experience on the main roster, she emerged victorious over Vega, aided by interference from Legado del Fantasma, who were among the spectators.
This defeat extends Vega’s ongoing losing streak on television, with her last victory dating back to August of the previous year. Disappointed fans have lamented the recurrent use of Vega as a proverbial stepping stone for other talents within the company.
