Zelina Vega Aims to Defend Title at Summerslam 2025 in New Jersey
Excitement Builds for Summerslam 2025
Summerslam 2025 is set to make history as it will be the first premium live event to span two consecutive nights, generating significant anticipation among fans. In addition to the marquee matches, there is hope that some mid-card wrestlers will also secure spots on the card for this event scheduled for early August.
Zelina Vega's Championship Journey
As Summerslam 2025 approaches, Zelina Vega has reached a significant career milestone by capturing her first singles championship in WWE. On the April 25 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, she triumphed over Chelsea Green to become the second WWE Women’s United States Champion, and she is eager to defend her title at the upcoming summer event.
In an interview with a local news outlet, Vega expressed her excitement about returning to her hometown of New Jersey for Summerslam 2025. She has already identified several potential challengers for her title defense, including some familiar rivals.
Vega's Aspirations for Summerslam
Zelina Vega is determined to retain her championship title at Summerslam 2025. Despite the unpredictability of WWE, she hopes to enter and exit the event as the reigning champion. When asked about possible opponents, she mentioned, “If Chelsea really wants to mix it up again, I’m fine with that. I love wrestling Piper Niven. So, you can do something like that, or even give people a chance, like a Mia Yim — give Michin a chance too. Her and I go back to wrestling on the indies together, and so to have a little bit of a tiebreaker moment would be really cool.”
