"I'm speechless" - SmackDown Superstar comments on sharing a ring with Rey Mysterio in WWE (Exclusive)
Zelina Vega recently commented on sharing a ring with Rey Mysterio on SmackDown as part of the latter's heated feud with his son, Dominik Mysterio.
Rey and Dominik are set to collide on Night 1 of WrestleMania 39 in what promises to be an emotional and high-voltage contest. Legado Del Fantasma temporarily sided with Rey Mysterio as part of the feud due to the number advantage Dominik Mysterio had, thanks to his Judgment Day stablemates on his side.
Zelina Vega, who's the mouthpiece of Legado Del Fantasma, got the chance to share a ring with Rey on a couple of occasions on SmackDown.
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Emily Mae, Vega recalled watching the WWE legend's match against Eddie Guerrero at Halloween Havoc 1997 as a kid.
The 32-year-old added that it was surreal to share a ring with Rey Mysterio and that it took her a little while to comprehend that it was real.
"I look back at watching Halloween Havoc with my dad and watch Eddie and Rey go at it, and now to be standing alongside Rey is like.., what other job do you get to bring your eight-year self with you for the ride? It's crazy, so I don't know. I'm speechless, I guess, in some ways, because I still can't believe it's happening. I'm like, 'we're here, right? This is real, this is like a thing,'" said Zelina Vega.
