“Vince [McMahon] walked up to me after the match in the back and said, ‘You walked in here queen, and now it’s official,’” Zelina Vega said. “I almost lost it. This is finally my time to show out to everyone who I am. I’m not in anyone’s shadow. This is my time to show why I am a star.”

While speaking about her match with Doudrop in finals of Queen’s Tournament, Vega revealed that she did the Code Red as a tribute to her cousin, Amazing Red. For those unfamiliar, Amazing Red was a big star in IMPACT Wrestling’s X-Division early on in the company’s existence.
“That Code Red wasn’t just a move for the match,” Zelina Vega continued. “That Code Red wasn’t just a wrestling move; it was an exclamation point. It was me representing my family. That’s my cousin’s move. Amazing Red deserves so much credit for what he’s done, so that was for him. That was for my dad, too. And that was for me, to solidify my place and show that I belong here.”
