In a digital exclusive posted to WWE's YouTube channel, Zelina was interviewed backstage after her win, noting that she couldn't believe she is now in the history books.
"Remember that part when we were talking about earlier that I'm at a loss for words? I think it's even more now. I don't even know what to say. I'm looking at it and it doesn't feel real because this was something that was just in my dreams and now it's real life and I'm holding it. It's kind of just crazy. So I'm like, I don't know. I can't believe it's real. I can't believe I'm holding this right now and saying that my name is in the history books as the second women's United States champion. That's absolutely insane to me. I can't wait to bring this home to my mom, to my stepdad, my brothers, my grandmother, everybody, my aunts. I can't wait to just finally bring home singles gold to my family, it's been a really amazing night for my household, so I'm very happy, very, very happy."
Byron would then ask Vega further about getting the victory, discussing how both Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero are former United States Champions.
"It's one that you always pray for, but you never really know if it's gonna happen. I think hearing the words, you deserve it, as I was kind of walking up with this up the ramp, really shocked me because I felt like maybe the fans had given up on me, honestly. It's been a while since I've been able to not just capture gold, but have a win. This felt like a win for me, but just also a win for my friends, my family, my fellow LWO members. I mean, Rey Mysterio is a former United States champion. I was like, I've seen him come back with this, and Eddie Guerrero was a former United States champion. This is just history. I can't believe that I'm finally a part of it. So I'm so, so happy. I feel like I have to pinch myself, honestly, bro, because it doesn't seem real."
Finally, Byron Saxton would ask Vega about the advice she would give out to people who are grinding hard to reach their goals.
"I mean, the cliche is never stop, right? But I think it needs to be never give up on yourself. Because I have come close to that so many times in my life and there was always a turnaround. There's always gonna be the moments where you hit rock bottom and then you pick yourself back up. So it's never give up on yourself because if Zelina Vega can stand here as United States Champion... I've been told that they were too small, too fat, too short, too skinny, not pretty enough. I've been told everything in the world as to why I shouldn't be champion, but I finally am."

MADRID (AP) — Novak Djokovic lost to Matteo Arnaldi in the opening round of the Madrid Open on Saturday, extending the 24-time Grand Slam winner's struggles on clay ahead of Roland Garros.
Arnaldi won 6-3, 6-4, delaying Djokovic’s search for a career 100th title.
Djokovic also lost his opener to Alejandro Tabilo at the Monte Carlo Masters two weeks ago.
It was the first meeting between Djokovic and 44th-ranked Arnaldi of Italy.
Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva reached the last 16 for the third straight year by defeating Magdalena Frech 7-5, 6-3.
The 17-year-old Andreeva, ranked No. 7, has yet to lose before the Madrid fourth round.
She reached that stage for the first time in 2023 while playing as a wild card in her second WTA main draw. Last year, her first big quarterfinals came in the Spanish capital.
“I was very, very nervous,” Andreeva said. “I still struggle to find my best tennis in Madrid. Super happy that I could manage to play consistent throughout the whole match.”
Andreeva, who will turn 18 on Tuesday, will next face Ukrainian qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva, who defeated 18th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova in three sets.
