The PLE Backlash was really crucial for the WWE superstar Zelina Vega. Not only because she was competing against the WWE SmackDown women’s champion Rhea Ripley, but also because the event was held in her hometown.
Vega received huge support from the crowd at Backlash
In March 2023, Zelina Vega joined the Latino World Order and got into the feud against ‘The Judgement Day’. In April after WrestleMania 39, Vega requested a championship match against Rhea Ripley at WWE Backlash.
Soon enough, the match was made official by Adam Pearce.
