"I kicked her so hard" - Zelina Vega recalls moment she legitimately hit her WWE opponent to give her a "receipt"

Zelina Vega might have been unsuccessful in her title challenge against Rhea Ripley, but the WWE star has gained immense popularity. She has now opened up about a past incident where she legitimately hit Mercedes Mone, aka Sasha Banks.

Vega had been attacking Bianca Belair at one point in WWE when Mercedes Mone came out to make the save. At that point, the latter hit her with the Meteora. The 32-year-old was hurt in the incident and thought she had broken her orbital bone.

While appearing on the Wrestling with Freddie podcast, Vega talked about the moment and said that Mone had been apologetic. However, Vega had promised her a "receipt."

"I was like, 'Oh my god.' And, of course, she was super apologetic and whatever. But then I was like, 'Just no. Girl, you got a receipt [coming], I swear to god.' Like, I was so mad. And then she's like, 'Okay, cool. Whatever.'"

That's what happened at the Royal Rumble. When she went to eliminate Mone, she kicked her hard.

"Royal Rumble happens, and I knew was gonna eliminate her. I was like, 'This is my moment. This is it.' So, I think I kicked the soul out of her. I kicked her so hard. And she flew back and she landed on the floor. I see her just shaking her head like this, and I knew she knew that was what I was waiting for." (H/T - Wrestling inc)
