Zelina Vega Slaps The Taste Out Of Cody Rhodes’ Mouth During 11/7 WWE SmackDown

Zelina Vega Slaps The Taste Out Of Cody Rhodes' Mouth During 11/7 WWE SmackDown

WWE has a lot going on, and Cody Rhodes always has a massive target on his head. This week was no different on SmackDown.

WWE SmackDown’s November 7 episode went down at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. This was a good episode as they stacked the deck after Saturday Night’s Main Event. That included a new challenger stepping up to Cody Rhodes.

The Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, opened up WWE SmackDown this week. He started to cut a promo, but then he was rudely interrupted.

Zelina Vega and Aleister Black made their way out. They have been recently teamed up with each other, and Black wants the title belt now.

After a bit of a back-and-forth promo, Zelina Vega then slapped Cody Rhodes across the face. Then WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis came out to book a match between Black and Rhodes later on in the night.

We will have to see what happens next, but Cody Rhodes doesn’t get slapped like that often. Zelina Vega certainly kept Cody on his toes this week.

Aleister Black & Zelina Vega Reveal Their Dark Master Plan During 10/17 WWE SmackDown

WWE has a lot of potential stories in the pipeline. This week on SmackDown, fans got a bit more out of a storyline that could snowball into much more.

WWE SmackDown went down at the SAP Center in San Jose, California on October 17. The October 10 episode of the show had a storyline that deserved some follow-up. WWE shocked fans when they paired up Aleister Black with his real-life wife, Zelina Vega, last week on SmackDown. This was how the last man standing match against Damian Priest.

Black and Vega were on SmackDown this week to follow up on the storyline. They played a video vignette, where they revealed that this pairing was always part of the plan. The two traded lines as they made it clear that they are not to be messed with. The two are to be feared, as a “necessary evil, a balance, and a venom of salvation.” Only time will tell what happens next for this.

Zelina Vela and Aleister Black are certainly a dark pairing. This could be a winner if they book things correctly. We will have to pay close attention to see how this pans out.

Zelina Vega Calls Out Giulia After Shocking SmackDown Attack

Zelina Vega Calls Out Giulia After Shocking SmackDown Attack

The June 6 episode of WWE SmackDown saw Giulia turn heel on Zelina Vega and brutally attack her, making it clear she was going after Vega’s title. Following the brutal attack, Vega has now called out The Beautiful Madness.

Zelina Vega took to Twitter and uploaded a video, where she called out Giulia for attacking her. She said she’s not looking for easy fights at Los Dogass. Vega said Giulia just had to ask if she wanted to fight. She said she has worked too hard and too long to hide from anyone or to give up.

Zelina Vega reminded everyone what she went through on SmackDown and said if she could handle that, she can handle more for Giulia. She finished by telling Giulia to come on and fight.

“Giulia, what you wanna do? Because I’m not finding bitches in Los Dogass, to find competition for myself. All you had to do was ask. I fought way too hard and long to be hiding from anyone. Also, giving up? Not a thing. You saw what happened last night and the hell I was willing to put myself through—just imagine what I can endure for you. So, as I said, come on, bring it.”

This comes after Zelina Vega faced Piper Niven in a non-title match on SmackDown. At the end of the contest, the Women’s United States Champion was standing tall but her victory didn’t last long. Giulia entered the ring as Zelina Vega lifted her title high. The smile on Vega’s face quickly disappeared when the former WWE NXT Women’s Champion attacked her and left Zelina Vega lying on the mat.

Giulia is currently focused on trying to win the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, but it’s clear Zelina Vega is more than ready to face her. Therefore, we’ll have to wait and see how WWE will book Giulia and Vega’s feud in the coming weeks.

Do you believe Giulia will be able to defeat Zelina Vega for the Women’s United States Title in the future? Sound off in the comments.

Chelsea Green Claims She Suffers Broken Nose in Brutal Loss to Zelina Vega at WWE Main Event

Chelsea Green Claims She Suffers Broken Nose in Brutal Loss to Zelina Vega at WWE Main Event

Chelsea Green didn’t just walk out of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event without the title—she left with a broken nose, and a whole lot to say about it.

After her hard-hitting match with Zelina Vega on May 24 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Green took to Twitter to react to the chaotic aftermath. The WWE Women’s United States Title match ended with Vega hitting a Code Red from the top rope for the win, but the real shock came after the bell when Chelsea’s nose was visibly busted open and bleeding.

In her tweet, Chelsea detailed the moment she realized something wasn’t right. “Me tonight!!! It’s absolutely INSANE!!! I was like ‘Whaaat just happened?!’ The ref turns to me and I thought he said ‘You won’ but he said ‘Your nose is broken’ and I was like ‘WHAT’ and he said ‘Your nose is broken’!!!!”

She admitted she couldn’t believe it at first. “I literally turned to the ref and said ‘You’re kidding me right?’ but no, apparently not. He said ‘You have to go to medical because your nose is broken.’”

Despite the injury, Chelsea’s post was full of sarcasm, attitude, and that signature Green energy: “I’m not even mad though. Well, I am mad, but it’s the kind of mad where you have to laugh because you KNOW you were robbed!!! And I was like… IS THIS REAL LIFE OR AM I ON A HIDDEN CAMERA SHOW???”

She ended the post with a classic twist of humor: “Stay tuned!!! P.S. Thinking about bangs!!! P.P.S My nose really hurts!!!”

The tweet also included a backstage video showing Green being helped by Piper Niven and Alba Fyre, clearly shaken and in pain but still trying to help her through the discomfort.

Green has been on a mission to reclaim the title ever since losing it to Vega, but this setback might put her out of action—at least temporarily. Then again, if there’s one thing Chelsea Green is known for, it’s bouncing back with a vengeance.

Chelsea Green Busted Open in Violent Loss to Zelina Vega at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

Zelina Vega walked into WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event with the WWE Women’s United States Championship—and she left with it still in her hands after a blood-soaked war with Chelsea Green.

The May 24 showdown at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida was physical from the start, with both women laying into each other as the crowd roared for Vega. But things took a serious turn late in the match when Chelsea Green was busted open. Her nose was visibly bleeding as she continued to fight, refusing to slow down despite the injury.

The crowd rallied behind Vega as the match spilled through a commercial break. After a hard-fought battle, the end came when the champ climbed up top with Green and hit a devastating Code Red from the top rope for the pinfall victory.

After the match, medics rushed in to check on Chelsea, whose nose appeared badly damaged with blood streaked across her face. “She looked like she was in real pain,” one fan in attendance told Ringside News. Green was helped to the back while Vega celebrated with her title.

Chelsea Green has been gunning for revenge ever since losing the title to Vega, teaming up with The Secret Hervice in hopes of reclaiming her spot. But now, it looks like she may need some time to heal before taking another shot.

Chelsea Green Calls Zelina Vega an ‘Ugly Little Gnat’ in Unhinged Confessional

Chelsea Green Calls Zelina Vega an ‘Ugly Little Gnat’ in Unhinged Confessional

Chelsea Green is not backing down after losing the WWE Women’s United States Championship to Zelina Vega—and she’s not staying quiet either.

Despite posting a dramatic “farewell address” on April 25, Green never actually left WWE programming. Instead, the outspoken star has continued appearing on SmackDown, keeping her delusional presidential persona intact.

Now, on May 20, she returned to Twitter with a chaotic new installment of Chelsea’s Confessionals, where she ranted about the loss, dragged Zelina Vega, and declared her second term was about to begin.

“141,500 minutes. That’s how long it’s been since my last confessional. Can you believe it? That’s disgusting. But I was busy doing presidential things. My term was outstanding. And now we are back. Baby, we are so, so back,” she began, setting the tone immediately.

Then she spiraled into a tirade over the title loss: “It was rigged. A sham title match. Fraud. Fake news. I should be the true United States Champion forever. Doesn’t matter what they say, their lips should be sealed. Honestly. Powder blue.”

At one point, a voice off-camera tried to flatter her: “That’s how you get in Chelsea’s good book. She likes me.” Another person replied, “I’m not looking to do that right now.”

Chelsea fired back with more venom: “Speaking of people who should keep their yaps shut. Joe, Tessa, whatever the heck it is. What even is a Tessa Tour? Sounds like an ugly, nasty Italian pasta.”

She saved her most vicious rant for Zelina Vega, the woman who beat her for the title: “Ooh, she is tan. She is beautiful. She is sparkly. But guess what? Even 11 out of 10s sometimes have off days. My crazy campaign trail stint just made me lose my adorable focus momentarily, of course. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Selena, you ugly little gnat! How dare you disrupt my peace? Are you kidding? Get off! Are you hot or… or are you just five foot nothing and mean?”

She ended the video with one final declaration: “The time has come to serve my second term. Pledge your allegiance. I pledge allegiance to Chelsea Green. For… For who?” before abruptly cutting off with, “Happy confessional. Ten.”

While Chelsea Green has remained on WWE television, this confessional firmly cements her delusion-fueled run for “re-election” as one of the most unhinged character arcs in WWE today. The farewell, the tantrum, and now this—she’s not just running for a rematch, she’s running a full-blown campaign.
