WWE superstar Zelina Vega challenged Liv Morgan for the WWE Women’s World title on Raw. However, Vega faced a setback as Morgan defeated her. Over recent weeks, Liv Morgan and Zelina Vega have been engaged in a heated rivalry.
A few weeks ago on WWE Raw, Vega pushed Morgan, causing her to fall on top of Dominik Mysterio. In retaliation, Morgan disrupted Vega’s participation in a Money in the Bank qualifier match against Iyo Sky and Kiana James in a triple-threat bout. Vega was dominating her opponents until Liv Morgan suddenly appeared and distracted her, leading to Vega’s loss in the match.
Following their confrontation on WWE Raw last week, Zelina Vega called out Liv Morgan for a title match, which WWE confirmed. However, Dominik Mysterio, present at the ringside, interfered during the match. In the climax, Dominik attempted to use a chair against Vega for the win. Instead, Vega chose not to use the chair and struck Dominik with it. This distraction allowed Liv Morgan to capitalize, hitting her signature move, the Oblivion, and securing the victory.
Zelina Vega, who has been in the women’s division for years and has had several title matches, has always fallen short. Following her recent loss to Liv Morgan, she reacted with just two words.
Zelina Vega says she was ‘so close’ to becoming WWE Women’s World Champion
Zelina Vega, who once again fell short of becoming the women’s world champion, reacted to her loss by commenting on a post shared by WWE about her defeat. Vega wrote, ‘So close,’ emphasizing once again how close she was to becoming the new WWE Women’s World Champion.
While Vega appears disheartened by her loss, her mentor, Rey Mysterio, leader of LWO, was seen offering encouragement in an exclusive WWE interview following her defeat. The WWE Hall of Famer remarked that Vega had not come close to winning the Women’s World Title just once, but mentioned she had been close two to three times in the match.
Following Zelina Vega’s loss of another championship opportunity and her failure to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match, it appears challenging for Vega to earn another shot at the title. The future holds uncertainty regarding her next steps after this recent setback.
