Zelina Vega

“You want to be with someone who you are constantly learning from, but you also feel like you give back to.”

“When I got to MSG, I had to look around and just take it in. I looked at the crowd and couldn't believe it. Instead of butterflies in my stomach, I had hawks!”

“When I see more than one female wrestling match on the card, I get so excited because it gives us more of a platform to show what we can do.”

“I use wrestling as my connection with my dad because that's something that me and him shared.”

“The funny thing is I have known AJ Lee. She started in New Jersey; I worked in New York. We have crossed paths and she was always great with me and always sweet to me but obviously I went one way and she went to WWE.”

“I don't think I have ever been completely satisfied, which is probably the right way to say it. I always felt like I wanted more.”

“As soon as I get on the mic that's something you can't really match with me, so whenever I accompany Andrade to the ring I make sure that no matter what it was I was doing, I make sure that I was a part of it and to make sure that the moment you will remember when Zelina does a crazy thing.”

“At one point when we recorded 'Fighting with My Family' at the Staples Center it was an incredible feeling and I loved it but I was playing AJ Lee and I wanted it to be me.”

“Listen, if anyone knows Aleister Black, it's me.”

“Just to show I had everything working against me: I'm small, my memory isn't all there, but I was a hard worker and I wanted people to realize, you may have weight problems working against you, height problems, whatever, but you can still conquer it and go for your dreams.”

“My dad was a wrestler in high school. He was really good and had a great amateur background, but it was always his dream to be in the WWE.”

“It was crazy to say that I have the guidance of Paul Heyman out of all these people. Eight-year-old real me is like, is this real life?”

“People don't understand that Andrade is the best thing going here in WWE. I'm just the one that enhances it.”

“Whatever it is that you do, dial it up to a 10 because for me people won't necessarily think I am the best wrestler in the world, but I can do what others can't.”

“It's truly amazing to see where determination and drive will lead you.”

“For me, when it started off with Lita she was always my favorite. She can do what the guys can do, and I wanted to be like that when I was younger.”

“Andrade had a large reputation to uphold because of his rich family heritage in Mexico, and he upheld that reputation because of my management behind the scenes.”

“I had Tommy Dreamer, who's amazing to me, from the very first day I met him - he actually was the one to say to me, 'I believe in you, I know that you can do this. Let's see what you can do at TNA.'”

“Everybody told me I was too small to be a wrestler.”

“It's something I'm almost addicted to... wrestling, it's weird, but it's always been that. Everybody looks at me like, 'Oh my god, you're so small, why would you want to mess up your face, what are you doing?' But I'm in love with it.”
