Zelina Vega challenges Sonya Deville for next week’s WWE SmackDown

A matchup between Zelina Vega and Sonya Deville looks to be set for next week’s SmackDown.

On the latest edition of The SmackDown LowDown, Deville and Chelsea Green interrupted an interview with Vega. The confrontation led to Deville accepting Vega’s challenge for a match next Friday (April 28).

Deville and Green were upset that Vega is getting a SmackDown Women’s Championship shot before they are. Vega is challenging Rhea Ripley for the title at Backlash in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday, May 6.

Deville & Green attempted to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles on SmackDown last night but lost to champions Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan.

Next Friday’s SmackDown will be the first night of the WWE Draft. The episode is taking place at American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. It’s set to feature:

  • The WWE Draft begins
  • Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn defend against The Usos
  • Zelina Vega vs. Sonya Deville
