Zelina Vega advances to WWE Queen’s Crown tournament finals
Zelina Vega has booked her spot in the finals of WWE’s Queen’s Crown tournament.
On tonight’s SmackDown, Vega defeated Carmella to advance to the finals of the Queen’s Crown tournament. Vega will be facing either Shayna Baszler or Doudrop in the finals.
Vega rolled up Carmella to get the win in tonight’s semifinal match. When Carmella broke their agreement to have a clean and fair match, Vega responded by punching Carmella in the face. Carmella then retreated to the floor to get her protective face mask. After she tried to call a timeout when the referee started his 10 count, Carmella turned back around and saw Liv Morgan holding her mask.
Carmella got scared and returned to the ring when Morgan went to hit her. Vega then immediately rolled up Carmella to get the win.
Baszler and Doudrop’s semifinal match is taking place on Monday’s Raw. Also on Monday, Xavier Woods and Jinder Mahal will face off to determine who will advance to face Finn Balor in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
