WWE Superstar Zelina Vega reveals what she wants for WrestleMania XL
LWO leader Rey Mysterio recently returned to the Stamford-based company after recovering from knee surgery. The WWE Hall of Famer is scheduled to face former stablemate Santos Escobar on the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
Amidst the heated rivalry between LWO and Legado Del Fantasma, Zelina Vega pitched a dream scenario for The Show of Shows. During an interview with SE Scoops, the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion stated she would love to team up with Rey Mysterio and other faction members to take on their rival group in a mixed tag team match:
"I know what I would want for WrestleMania. In my head, and maybe clip this because I feel like if this ends up happening, I said it here first. I would love to have a match at WrestleMania with me and Rey [Mysterio] and Carlito and Joaquin [Wilde] and Cruz [del Toro] against Santos [Escobar], Elektra [Lopez] and whoever other goons he wants to add to the miss. That match would be incredible, even if it's just me and Rey against goon #1 and goon #2. I think it'd be really cool to just be able to say 'Man I was on WrestleMania with Rey Mysterio. That's my hero, that'd be crazy.' That's what I would want," said Vega [H/T: SE Scoops]
Latino World Order and Legado Del Fantasma are likely to continue their rivalry heading into The Show of Shows. It remains to be seen which faction comes out on top.
