Zelina Vega was interviewed by Long Island's Newsday to promote this Saturday's WWE live event at the Nassau Coliseum.
In the piece, Vega commented on the potential of a CM Punk WWE return, noting, “I don’t know much about his situation with AEW, but I have always had a fantastic relationship with CM Punk. You hear all these things about him. I am so big on not listening to other people’s experiences, the dirt sheets, all that crap."
Vega said “there’s so many reasons” she’d like to see a Punk return, “not just for me, but for the fans.”
. “He’s always been a fantastic person,” Vega said. “There’s layers to people. And when people are just so hung up on the outer layers of what a person can be, you get stuck there. And if you want to stay there, that’s great. But when you get to know the core of a person, that’s where I like to hang out.”
Punk was terminated this past Saturday by AEW after a backstage incident with Jack Perry.
. Vega’s public defense of Punk following his firing comes three years after Punk did the same for her. After Vega was temporarily released from WWE in 2020 over a dispute involving her Twitch channel, Punk stuck up for her in a podcast interview. “To me, Punk’s been nothing but great,” Vega said.
. In the interview, Vega also discusses the Saturday Night’s Main Event brand returning to the Nassau Coliseum, which hosted the very first SNME on NBC 38 years ago. The full interview is available at the link below:
