The current women’s champion of the United States grew two rivers to the east in Queens, New York, but got her legs under her as a fighter in the state of Garden, specifically in Union City.
“I was training at the Ace Arena in Jersey for a while,” Vega shared with Pak Gazette Digital in a recent interview. “Aj and Aj Lee we really trained together in Jersey and also helped me prepare for paper, if I’m going to be honest, in ‘fighting with my family’ to interpret it. It was to know her then and apply that now and see it where everything was reduced.
“But yes, I spent a lot of time in New Jersey training and only that feeling of New York/New Jersey, it was just where it was constantly when it came.”
Vega won the United States Women’s Championship in a match against Chelsea Green after Wrestlemania 41. The title was added to the menu as another opportunity for the list of women loaded in “SmackDown.” The “RAW” list has the female intercontinental championship.
Vega told Pak Gazette Digital that he expected WWE to add a half -card title to the fold, and now he has the belt, the first singles championship of his career in the company.

“He feels incredible … When I was little, I just wanted to be part of that,” he said. “And, of course, I wanted to be champion. I did this big deal in my mind as a child, I thought: ‘I’m going to be a champion, this will happen to me.’ I didn’t see a plan B in my mind.
“Now, it’s like, not only did you succeed, you’re not only champion, you’re also a part of the story. Ring’s first queen, as I never thought that was going to happen. So, I was still surprised, but also that Thea of eight years that I was trying to deal with all this in my mind. I didn’t see a plan B, I was so stuck. I was like,” I was not happening. “
Vega, as sure as always that she will enter Summerslam as a champion, also had advice for the young women who look at her.
“It’s fair, you never give up because you will have so many nossians that you will have so many people giving reasons why you should not be a champion, why you shouldn’t get where you want to be,” he explained to Pak Gazette Digital. “But as long as you don’t give up with you, nobody will stop you.
“Do not take ‘no’ for an answer and do not give up with yourself. If I can do this and I can stop here as a champion, it must be tested in the mind of so many people that your own determination is what will lead you where you need to be.”

Fans interested in attending Summerslam can get their tickets in Ticketmaster. The event will take place on August 2 and August 3.
“It is our first two -night Summerslam, which is crazy because it is usually only Wrestlemania,” he said. “There is a lot of buzzing about it. All week it will really be incredible because it is just where I grew up. So, it is great to feel that it is a feeling of return home, either ‘raw’, ‘Smackdown’, and then the two -day summerslam. It will be really fun.”
