A current WWE Superstar has expressed interest in returning to TNA Wrestling after more than a decade. Zelina Vega worked for TNA Wrestling back in the early 2010s before making it big in World Wrestling Entertainment.
Zelina Vega is doing quite well for herself at the moment under the creative regime of Triple H. She is the current Women's United States Champion on the SmackDown brand and is only the second-ever woman to hold the coveted belt after Chelsea Green.
In a new interview with WrestleStar, Zelina opened up about a potential return to TNA Wrestling.
“I am [open to a one-off return]. I think, my gosh, it would even be really dope to do it with the United States Championship? I mean, you know, I think that’d be super cool. And it’s never been done before. I mean, my God, there was for the longest time it was like, you know, if you’re in TNA, if you’re in WWE, it’s WWE. But now it’s like, there’s just, just this influx of talent that you get from AAA, from TNA, like, everywhere."
She is interested in a one-off return to the promotion and would love to take the Women's United States Title with her.
"And it’s just so cool that we get to have these matches. And a lot of the time, you know, people would think, ‘Oh, maybe that match will never happen, or maybe we’ll never see that kind of a match.’ But now it’s like the sky’s the limit. So I would absolutely do it, and I would love to do it with the United States Championship, for sure," Vega said. [H/T WrestlingNewsCo]
Vega was discovered by ECW legend Tommy Dreamer and got a tryout dark match in TNA in January 2011, in which she lost to Angelina Love. Mere days later, she signed a contract with the company.
She won the TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles with Sarita on one occasion and did well as a mid-card act in the company. In January 2013, her contract with TNA expired, and she exited the company. She signed a deal with WWE in mid-2017.
