WWE Superstar Zelina Vega took to X on December 31st to post a picture of her entrance from Backlash PLE on May 6th 2023. The event was held at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan where Zelina Vega challenged WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley for the World title. The picture was posted along with an emotional tweet. AN EMOTIONAL TWEET FROM ZELINA VEGA HINTS AT ANOTHER WORLD TITLE MATCH The tweet read, “I really hope we get to go back to Puerto Rico soon. I have some unfinished business with a @WWE championship there. ‘¡Yo soy Boricua, pa’ que tú lo sepas!’ That chant will forever be what fuels me to keep going.” The Spanish portion of the tweet translates to ‘I am Puerto Rican so that you know!’ in English. It is a declaration of Puerto Rican pride and identity. With the tweet, Zelina Vega has declared herself to be a potential candidate for another World title, though she is not on the radar for one in recent times. Riding on the success of Backlash PLE, WWE will return to Puerto Rico again in 2024 for an episode of Monday Night RAW. The report is given by JL Promotions which covers events in Puerto Rico. The date of the show is not finalized yet. Is Zelina Vega hinting towards another title match for the same? 

After a fighting performance at Backlash, WWE Superstar Zelina Vega hints at not giving up on hopes of finishing her World Title business.
