Zelina

[2.0] "Just like Jaida Parker, Only being good at promos will only get you so far in wrestling. She's one of the worst bell to bell women's wrestlers I've ever seen and I'm not exaggerating. She wrestles like she's afraid to break a nail yet she still manages to break somebody's nose. Hilarious, just hilarious man. The mixed tag showed just that too as she looked sooooo bad here man. I cringed so many times."

[5.0] "Good as a manager but very, very bad in the ring outside of some rare instances. For a 15+ year vet, you'd think she'd be wrestling better than she was in like 2011."

[5.0] "She has proved for worth in the last few years as an acceptable mouthpiece for guys who can't promo or speak English but her in ring is not great. Other than a great crowd pop for her match in Pueto Rico I'm struggling to think of any other standout moments in her career."

[10.0] "My Queen. I somehow stumbled upon her work as Queen Zelina in April 2023 and that led me to becoming a full-time wrestling fan. Backlash vs Rhea was something special. First PLE I ever watched live (MITB '23; didn't know where PLEs were before that lol) had one of my all-time favorite spots with her hitting a Code Red off the top of a ladder onto a bridged ladder to take Zoey Stark [and herself] out of the match for good. She always looked like she was having so much fun when in LWO which made me happy. Her gear is always on point imo. Her promos (especially with Andrade and as Queen) are absolutely amazing. Her mini-feud with Liv in '24 was amazing (sloppy seconds, anyone? ) and I wish she was in the title scene more on Raw. Was heartbroken when she was pulled from QOTR '24 mere hours before her Round 1 match, and similarly but slightly less so when she got eliminated in Round 1 of the Women's IC tourney. Was so excited when she went on her own to SD and immediately started calling out champions. SD after WM41 was probably one of the greatest nights of her life; finally winning a singles title after 15+ years of wrestling and her husband returned after 4 years away. That US Title win made me cry as the #pushzelina movement, which I was involved with on Twitter/IG since Day 1, had (seemingly) finally come to fruition. Then her title reign commenced and she didn't get a single in-ring promo as champ. What. The. F? ! Then she loses to Giulia twice and disappears from TV for a while before re-emerging... as a heel to help her husband beat her fellow Nuyorican Priest! I was so darn happy to see her back as a heel and with her husband on-screen for the first time. Now apparently her name is just "Zelina"... I honestly don't know how to feel about that. Outside of WWE, she won the TNA Women's Tag Titles as a 20-year-old which is pretty neat. I just love her sm. The "423V" in my username is a reference to when/how I got into wrestling (4/2023, Vega). *in British accent* All hail the Queen, Queen Zelina!"

[8.0] "I don't hate her at all. In fact, I think she's a wasted talent right now. WWE did her US title reign so dirty. I have no idea what this company is even trying to do. She's actually solid in the ring, and her promo work is awesome. I love her so much tbh"

[3.0] "Great look, strong presence, but that's about it. In the ring, she's just not convincing -- weak strikes, sloppy pacing, and barely any memorable matches. Promos are alright, but nothing special. Feels more like a manager cosplaying as a wrestler. Not championship material at all."

[4.0] "Zelina Vega has a long way to go in terms of building herself up in WWE. Despite being the US Champion right now she hasn't impressed and the crowd could see through that. She was more fun as a hateable egotistical heel instead of a "I love Lucha Libre and Rey Mysterio" babyface. Her moveset isn't that bad but leaves lots to be desired. She's also consistently sloppy in her matches. I like her but she has to step up her game. EDIT: Her US Title run was the drizzling shits, Zero good matches or storylines and she loses it to Guilia thankfully and now she seems she will be in purgatory."

[1.0] "No idea how she managed to swing a title run and I'm glad it's over. Passable mic work but routinely comes out to crickets and is liable to have at least one "Oof" moment in every one of her matches. She's slow and her offense looks like she's more likely to bounce off of her opponents than hurt them. When she approaches a spot you can see the gears turning in real time and her own finish is a drawn out 3 stage process. By all accounts she works hard but she needs to be hard working on Main Event for the foreseeable future because someone with 15 years in ring experience shouldn't still be this dire."

[4.0] "I've always wanted to like Zelina, but as of late I just really do not. Her ring is sloppy and she tries to be a workrate wrestler, usually fails horribly. She probably is still a good promo but they never let her talk so she might've regressed there too."

[6.0] "Zelina Vega was one of my favorites back in nxt and early main roster days but now she has been very boring to watch. She is meant to be a heel I cannot take her serious as a baby face at all her current run as champ is sadly not delivering."

[9.0] "Interviewed her in 2010 when she was a rookie and I've been really proud watching her climb the ranks through the WWE. Whether she's managing, wrestling, or speaking on the mic, she brings a level of energy and precision that makes her stand out every time she's on screen. She's not the biggest, strongest, or most heavily pushed, but she's one of the most complete packages in the women's division and one of WWE's most reliable utility players. As a manager, she elevated Andrade's NXT and early main roster run into something special. Her presence sharpened his presentation, gave him a voice, and made their pairing feel like a true act rather than just a wrestler and a mouthpiece. Her promo work is sharp, confident, and always emotionally in tune with the moment. When given the opportunity to wrestle, Zelina steps up with crisp strikes, fast pacing, and a willingness to take punishment that makes her underdog energy believable. Her return to WWE in 2021 after being released was a reminder of her value. She has since gone on to win the first-ever Queen's Crown tournament and represent the LWO with pride. Her match with Rhea Ripley at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico was a career highlight -- not because she won, but because the crowd response showed just how beloved she truly is. It was one of the most emotional moments in modern WWE and a clear sign that fans see her worth even if booking sometimes lags behind. Zelina Vega is proof that passion, resilience, and presentation matter. She's polished, powerful in her own way, and always ready to deliver when the moment comes. A complete performer with heart, skill, and presence. Zelina isn't always given the biggest spotlight, but she never wastes a second of the one she gets."

[7.0] "Zelina Vega is very solid in the ring but really impressive on the mic. Just the person these women's midcard titles were introduced for."

[6.0] "She is decent in the ring, but nothing to write home about. Her wrestling ability is average as well as her charisma, but she has been in the business for quite a while and usually does not have any really bad matches."

[6.0] "Zelina Vega is amazing on the mic, she can talk whatever, whenever and can spit some gospel truth for whoever comes in her way, but everyone have a bit of knowledge and understand that being top-notch on the mic doesn't mean anything when you're on a big stage, like WrestleMania, this women was charismatic back on 2019-2022, an amazing heel persona with a top heel gimmick, Lã Muneca, all her repertoire were amazing to see, it's the fact that, after her return on 2022, she came back as a face, and somehow she's been so slow, so sloppy, and she underastimated her moveset, she excluded some amazing moves, like the Backstabber, Double Knee Meteoras, an amazing variation of Suplexes and kicks, to add a ridiculous Moonsault, that for god's sake, looks like she's giving it on 0.5x, and the Code Red she does for her finisher, she rarely executes it flawlessy, she botches it more than she delivers it right, and her character right now are basically a LWO Valet with a blanky charisma, that's sad too see, back in the day she had a match with Asuka for the Raw Women's Title, and it was absolutely pure entertainment.. The writers must to something with her aswell.. she loses basically all the time"

[5.0] "At times, I think she has good stuff going for her, in and out of the ring. And other times her rough work shows. She is just there. Sometimes I do feel like cheering for her, but it's not consistent, at all."

[5.0] "Is never realy given any proper time to show out in-ring, causing that side of her character to drastically decline. However, she has been given more mic time as her character is being a badass that roasts her opponents, but they're really surface level in that aspect. However, when given the time, she has been really fun to watch, shame that we never get that time though."

[4.0] "Good promo and works well as a manager character but lacks the size and skill in-ring to really take herself to the next level. She somehow gets occasional shots at the title and somehow won Queen's Crown over talents like Nattie, Liv Morgan, Piper Niven and Toni Storm despite her work not being nearly up to par. Overall, I consider Zelina an adequate talent though I don't believe she'll be anything more than that."

[6.0] "Look, Zelina is good on the mic and good in the ring and she is good in the managerial role, but when it comes to a direction character wise she's hit a wall. When she had won the queen of the ring, it felt unimportant, but at least she had a character to work with, and that led to her team with Carmella and a tag team championship reign. Now all she does is ride backseat to any LWO stories that appear and is just there to provide mic skills the others lack in. After her showing on this past Raw against Liv Morgan, i'd like to see more of Zelina competing on tv to see what she can do, but also gain a character in the process. I think she needs to break away from the LWO and focus on herself and not being a manager and instead going back to competing and showing everyone what she's capable of."

[7.0] "Zelina is the total package. She has excellent mic skills can work a good character is one of rhe workhorses in the division reliable to put on an entertaining match for a live crowd & is over /very easy to get behind especially at live events. The only downsides she has are height shes one of the few women I get when people say she doesnt look like a threat to anybody & cant be booked as a true threat because of it. The only other gripe I have with her is her current character she will constantly trash talk & call out and cut promos on all the bbl other girls only to lose & waste every opportunity. Two of the glaring examples of this were her feuds with Liv & Elektra Lopez. She feuded with Liv while she was on a losing streak yet still talked about chasing her championship & with Elektra she had several promos where she spoke about how she was gonna end Elektra & how she was tired of being costed but then got her ass beat in minutes. But thats more a conflict of her character and the booking they give her. Shes still a 7 tho maybe they should give her a stronger push with some actual wins"

[7.0] "She has the best mic skills in the women's division and she is very fast. but she can't do a lot of moves because of her height. She is underrated and I believe she should be rated higher."

[4.0] "Great look, painfully inconsistent in ring work, and she's completely misused as a face talent in LWO. Heel Zelina worked exceptionally well but between her floundering character, her reports of mistreatment of contractors, and in-ring work, it's hard not to think there's better women on the WWE roster missing out on a chance because Zelina's in the way."

[3.0] "Zelina comes off as completely inauthentic in almost every aspect of wrestling. Starting with look, I still have no idea what her gimmick is. She likes anime and video games? That's cool, I do too, but it's not exactly a gimmick. Her promos are largely forgettable while her in-ring ability is probably her worst area as a wrestler. Zelina's moves and strikes - if they can be called that - look incredibly soft. Her moves look gimmicky and I can't believe her as a credible threat as nothing she does has impact. Also, I'm not one to judge people by their social media presence, but she comes off as angry and inauthentic in that realm as well. Whether she is arguing with costume designers or claiming fans are upset that they can't drink Maxxine Dupri's bath water, Zelina Vega is an immediate channel changer."

[0.0] "She was overhyped by fans cause I have never seen nothing impressive from her, not even when she debuted with Andrade, or watching some of her stuff in TNA. She does basic moves and nothing special, I have never liked her finisher, the sunset flip powerbomb, she takes too much time to perform it and has no credibility on doing such move as she is super tiny. I hate it the most when she does it on bigger performers like Piper Niven or Nia Jax, like, ¿you really want me to buy the fact that she can take down women like them just like that? What a joke. She has no originality either, she comes with cosplays all the time, or some random crappy cringe look each week. She also seems like an untrustworthy person to me in real life, maybe its just me, but after her story of that cosplayer gear creator that she never payed to, I lost it with her. Sorry but I will never buy her as a big deal or as a champion material, she is just a jobber and that's it. I was so glad that she never received a championship reign off from Rhea Ripley, even though fans were simping around her."

[0.0] "Awful, awful, awful, really, really, really awful. There's nothing she offers as a character or worker that you can't find anywhere else and better. She changed her look so drastically that sometimes she's indistinguishable from Mercedes Mone'. When she was in NXT with Andrade she interfered like a heel manager/valet does but again it's nothing that fans haven't seen anyone else do a lot better than her. The final insult is after she was released she went on Twitch and social media and talked a big game about unionizing only to go back the first time WWE called back. I get it, we all need to make a living but that kind of thing makes look really bad."

[3.0] "Keep her off my tv. Her work is at best adequate, but she is such a generic persona in WWE that her personality exists to be whatever aesthetic they throw on her. She feels like a throwback to early 90s wwe where people had no substance beyond some tropey gimmick. Here she is token latina in the latinx stable. Now she is token Puerto Rican in Puerto Rico. Now she has cat ear headphones. She keeps changing but there is nothing to it. Every attempt at being a character has been a miss. Her talents are so below any push she gets, that it is insulting to watch. Pure go away heat not becsuse she is terrible but because she is aggressively bland and adequate"

[2.0] "Zelina was an incredible manager when she accompanied Andrade: good acting, funny, intense, involved. However, Zelina is a poor wrestler. Limited, her in-ring lacks impact, she is slow, not physically impressive, not very athletic. In addition, his character is bland and has lost his splendor. I don't understand the hype behind her. On the other hand, I really like her outfits, and if you add a little bit of history behind her character, she could becomes again an interesting manager or a cool heel mid-card opponent."

[4.0] "I don't understand the hype about Zelina Vega whatsoever. As a manager, she was good, but as a wrestler? Yea, no. She just doesn't cut it as a women's wrestler for me. I think putting her in the LWO to get her over was a smart move, but other than that, how is she going to get over on regular television? I don't know. She got a chance with WWE following Dwayne Johnson putting her in a major role in a movie that has literally NO business existing (If you know what movie I'm referring to, you already know), and I guess that was enough to get her signed. Look, I want Zelina to do great if she's a good wrestler, but for me, she just doesn't cut it as a wrestler, especially in WWE's top talent women's division."

[10.0] "creo que soy la unica persona en darle a zelina sus 10s. en este año 2023 zelina tuvo oportunidad de demostrar su talento y por que es una gran luchadora que lleva AÑOS en el wrestling siendo una de las mejores high-flying wrestlers, me gustaria verla a ella por fin consiguiendo un titulo en solitario, uno mid-card si es que wwe se pone las pilas si no esta bien ella tiene el pontencial en microfono, como manager, como luchadora y como reina del ring y si es que vuelven a hacer el Queen Of The Ring ella debería ganarlo denuevo para LWO"

[8.0] "In WWE she is one of the best that the womens devision has to offer in recent times. Her work with the LWO is exceptional and she just has that aura where you wanna see her accomplish great things in the future. I dont view her as more than a transitional champ if she were to win it, but i fully support her winning the big one"

[6.0] "Zelina Vega has had her ups and downs. Did not care for her or Mex America in TNA. In WWE she was a good manager for Andrade but after that did nothing of note for a while. Now the LWO has been the best thing for her career. Her in ring abilities are fine and improving. She has charisma and mic skills but is not always able to show them."

[10.0] "She's so underrated man, she can wrestle, she can talk, she can manage, she's really experienced, yet she never got atleast an important spotlight, she was the Queen of the Ring which wasn't something huge at all, she had a forgettable run with womans tag team championships, and that is actually her highlights of career, now shes gonna be squashed by Rhea on Backlash I call it and that's gotta be all from her Title Shot, this is kinda unfair because she deserved more TV Time and better treatment but WWE didn't wanted to push her and didn't wanted to give her a chance, instead they were giving her the consolation prizes which didn't matter anyway, that's just sad"

[4.0] "I saw what Zelina can do, but it doesn't look like a whole lot. During the Queen's Crown tournament, she had matches that were only about 5 minutes, which made it impossible to gauge just how good she is. She was also repeatedly overshadowed by Andrade when she manged him. Zelina is probably really talented, but WWE seems to treat her only as a utility rather than actual contender, which is pretty unfair."

[10.0] "Zelina deserves so much more, I can't believe how she has only a few titles in her 13 year career. I love her on the mic and is a great technician and high flyer as well."

[8.0] "Awesome manager and a pretty decent wrestler too. Overflowing with sexy charisma; she has effortlessly exceled at everything she has been given in WWE. Great as Andrade's manager. Easily one of the best parts of the Covid era. Her Queen of the Ring gimmick was so perfect for her. Shame it ended due to injury I think? One of my favourites; I probably would have considered having her lower than 8 before, but then she decided to cosplay Juri Han to absolute perfection for the 2023 Rumble match!"

[9.0] "Zelina Vega is a formidable manager and an even better wrestler. She shines brightly and deserves prominence in her career. She always steals the show when she enters the ring and shows that she is dangerous and fatal when nobody believes her."

[5.0] "As Andrade's valet, she was indispensable; She was comparable to the likes of Heyman. As a wrestler though, she hasn't really shown anything worth talking about; She is still an incredible speaker but in ring talent is a huge step down from her mic skills."

[7.0] "Great manager, competent enough in the ring, her personality hides some of her weaknesses as a wrestler."

[7.0] "Was perfect as a manager for Andrade. She's good on her own as well. She can do the lucha style pretty good and she's good on the mic. She's not believable against certain girls however because she's so small."

[7.0] "Zelina Vega is a great manager. She elevated Andrade to the next level with her near unmatched promo ability and charisma. As an in ring talent, she's okay, but not fantastic. Her moveset is limited which is why her matches are usually pretty short. She has some decent technical chops and some fun submissions, but besides that she is fairly one-note. Overall, great talker, great look, average in-ring. That is how I would describe Zelina Vega."

[6.0] "while i love Thea as a person, im not a fan of her ring work. She is wrestling for a pretty long time right know, but i still dont find her a good wrestler.Dont get me wrong, she is decent and can do some crazy things while wrestling with male wrestlers, she shows tons of potential, sadly she has yet to realese this potential.Very slow for someone who is not a technical based wrestler(the style i found very plausible to be slow), her offence doesn't look effective at all, she has no great singles matches in the main roster... However, she is a beast on the mic, easily top 5 female talkers, one of the best managers of all time, very charismatic and has tons of personality, a fantastic heel.I hope wwe gives her more chances to show what she can do, and i hope she realizes the potential she has."

[3.0] "She's one of those female wrestlers who gets by on doing flying headscissors -- a move that is incredibly easy, but looks rather impressive -- and people think she's great for it. Kudos for getting people to buy something so pedestrian (the true art of wrestling, if you really think about it), but for someone who tends to look deeper into the sport, I'm none too impressed. She worked well as a manager for Andrade, but that pair were split before the team could really get to the next level. Now that Andrade was just let go from WWE, perhaps the pair can reform & something can come from them. But honestly, Zelina's mundane Twitch streaming has left me not really caring if she ever comes back to wrestling. I suppose it's an example of the prevalence of social media in today's climate having a direct effect on the make-believe world of a wrestling character."

[5.0] "This score is based on two things. As a manager, Zelina Vega is a 8/10, but as a wrestler she's a 2/10 at best. So 5 overall."

[10.0] "She will come out as one of the most influential managers in recent history when it? s all said and done. She? s that good."

[10.0] "Of course beside Paul Heyman, the most influential manager in WWE today. She can support her clients, demean others and hupe herself up - a true triple threat! She has to be managing the world champion soon"

[7.0] "Very good on the mic. Can play the role of a heel manager really well. Her wrestling skills are unfortunately pretty basic."

[9.0] "Shes great in the ring, sell her role perfectly and shes been underrated since TNA. Zelina deserve better than what shes getting"

[8.0] "Great manager and she is just so little and cute. Has showed little glimpses of improving her wrestling skills and her headscissors interference is getting better every time. Andrade just wouldn't work without her, as a pair they are brilliant, it would be great if she took on other clients and became an old fashioned super-manager, she has the skills and personality for it."

[7.0] "Well for Zelina Vega :-? if we choose her Wrestling i must make 4 point max as everything that i saw of her in ring ! but as a Manager , she is good , at least in 2018 till now."

[8.0] "If this was a rating of Zelina as a wrestler it would probably within the 3-5 range. However, I am writing this review about Zelina the MANAGER. She is incredibly good on the mic and I love the story that Andrade was lost in the shuffle of NXT until she arrived to help him. I don't mind her wrestling every now and then but her main role should be managerial."

[7.0] "Vega has a great look, she can talk, but she shouldn't be wrestling, because she's a far better manager than she is a wrestler."
