WWE’s website reveals shortened name for SmackDown star
WWE’s website has adjusted Zelina Vega’s name.
When looking at WWE’s roster page, it is now shown that Vega is simply being referred to as ‘Zelina’ moving forward, with no mention of her last name. This comes as she has taken on a new role of managing real-life husband Aleister Black.
Back on October 10, Zelina interfered in the Last Man Standing match between Aleister Black and Damian Priest, allowing Black to throw a fireball at Priest’s face and win the match. Since then, the two have appeared in vignettes solidifying their on-screen presence together.
The two have been married since 2018, but have not been involved in a storyline together until now.
Prior to the new role, Zelina had been pushed as a singles star on the SmackDown brand, winning the Women’s United States title from Chelsea Green in April. She would go on to lose the title to Giulia in June, and ultimately failed to regain it afterwards. She had also been previously associated with the LWO, but was moved over to the SmackDown brand in January.
