Vince McMahon Is A Big Fan Of A Current WWE Raw Star

There are a certain number of superstars that Vince McMahon wants to push, and if you’ve been watching Monday Night Raw over the last few weeks it’s clear to see that Vince is high on Zelina Vega.

Vega has gone from a manager to the number one contender for the Raw Women’s Championship in short time, and there’s no telling where she could go from here.

Zelina Vega recently talked about her relationship with Vince McMahon on Table Talk with D-Von Dudley, and she noted that she’s one of his favorites.

“Before quarantine happened, Vince would always say, ‘You’re one of my favorites. You’re one of the reasons I watch Raw. I love your character.’ It was such an honor to hear him say that. One thing he would say to me was, ‘You remind me of Stephanie [McMahon]. She was always working out there. You’re a cutaway machine, I love that about you.’ I was legit ready to cry. I love Steph, she’s a huge inspiration to me and this character.”

Vega also gave credit to Paul Heyman for believing in her during his run as Raw’s Executive Director, and she added that she looked up to him when she was working as a manager.

“You wouldn’t be given the ball if it wasn’t for someone believing in you. One person that really believed in me was Paul Heyman. I’m so lucky to say that I had someone like that on my side because he fought for me every single time. When it comes to being a manager, I look up to him a lot. When you have someone like that who believes in you, it fuels your vibe that much more.”

Zelina Vega will challenge Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view on Sunday, September 27.
