Report: Zelina Sidelined After Evolution Bump

You may have noticed that Zelina Vega was absent from this week’s Smackdown Live. There’s a reason for that — she’s battling a suspected concussion.

As first pointed out by Vic Macias on Twitter, Zelina has been off the road since Evolution. It was at the event where she was eliminated by Nia Jax’s press slam, intended for Tamina to catch her on the outside. Unfortunately, things went awry and Zelina cracked her face on the floor.

Zelina took an awful fall when Nia threw her out of the battle royal and Tamina didn’t catch her.
She lost feeling in her arm & was doing everything to get that feeling back. This pic sums it up.

When Fightful spoke to WWE sources they confirmed that Vega hasn’t been diagnosed with a concussion, but it’s suspected that she sustained one. They’re hoping that she’ll feel well enough to return to the road soon.

After not wrestling much at all in 2017, Zelina has competed fairly frequently in 2018, and much more than her previous years in wrestling, even when with TNA.
