Zelina Vega Shows Up At NXT TakeOver Pre-Show
SmackDown‘s Zelina Vega showed up at tonight’s NXT TakeOver: Phoenix event to collect the Match of The Year Award on behalf of Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas. Andrade was awarded the honor (along with Johnny Gargano) for their match at NXT Takeover: Philadelphia.
Vega interrupted Gargano, who attempted to collect the awards himself, “The reason that match was Match of the Year was because Andrade was in it. You didn’t even win. Your ego it getting out of control.” Vega then declared 2019 the ‘Year of tranquillo.’
