Zelina Vega's big break in WWE has been a long time coming, and as Women's United States Champion, she's looking to put herself on the map and finally move into the main event scene.

There's every chance that will happen, especially if the fans continue to get behind her...which might be easier said than done with the hugely entertaining Chelsea Green vying for the title.

Over the years, rumours have persisted about Vega having "beef" or backstage heat with Jade Cargill and Sasha Banks/Mercedes Moné (typically due to similarities in their hair colour or style). Now, she's set the record straight on the online chatter. 

"So stupid. Oh my god, but it’s like, a whole discussion, dude," she said in a recent interview. "Jade and I were laughing, okay, when this was going on, like, her, like, we didn’t think people were gonna take it that serious, you know what I mean."

"So we’re like, texting, and she’s just like, 'Oh God, like, this is turning into something way bigger than I thought.’ And I was like, ‘Yes, because the internet hates me.' Unfortunately for the people who wish that that was true, no, sorry to burst your bubbles, but you got worked," Vega continued. "It was just such a thing. I was like, wow, people really over hair. Now, over hair. Interesting."

As for Moné, Vega pointed to an old clip of her expressing a desire to face the AEW star in a match as the genesis for people thinking there's a real-life issue between the two women. 

"People use that clip as, like, 'Oh my God. They’ve had beef forever.' Blah, blah, blah. I’m like, I love that. I convinced you all of that. Like, I love that for me. My brain was, 'I need to get to WWE in any way possible. Like, she’s one of the top girls. Like, I want to get in the ring with her. She’s been dope. Like, I want to do this,' and she was cool with it."

"No, we’ve, none of us have ever had any beef. And it’s so funny to me that, like I’m the common denominator between all of the beef. Apparently," Vega added. 

It's not unusual for the IWC to take the smallest moment and blow it out of proportion, creating a narrative that doesn't necessarily exist in the real world. 

You can watch the full interview below, where Vega also talks about the role Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has played in her career and the fact that fellow WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley is her neighbour.
