In a recent interview with Wrestling With Freddie, WWE superstar Zelina Vega discussed several topics, including WWE’s decision to pair her with Legado del Fantasma on the main roster.

“The way it was explained to me was, well the group is new to the main roster, and you’re very known by the SmackDown audience, and by putting them with you, people will go, oh what is this about, we already know her to be a heel manager, we know her to be the heel wrestler and if she’s introducing them, then that’s what they’re about.

I think it was really just to help make the transition for the fans easier. It’s evolved so much since now, being with Rey and first of all, what the hell, 8 year old Thea is like what is life, but now, having Rey on our side and having LWO be a thing again, it’s crazy. Now, it’s we’re wrestlers in a team, not me managing the wrestlers.”
