Zelina Vega Makes History at WWE Crown Jewel 2021

The successful underdog stories in WWE are always a delight for the fans. The inaugural Queen’s Crown tournament saw an underdog claiming the crown. In fact, the final was a battle of two underdogs. Doudrop and Zelina Vega came into the tournament with a very minimal chance.

Doudrop took on Zelina Vega at the Crown Jewel PPV in the final of the Queen’s Crown tournament after getting through some tough matches in the earlier rounds. But unfortunately for Doudrop, she lost in the finals, as Zelina Vega made history by becoming the winner of the very first Queen’s Crown tournament.

Doudrop looked in complete control of the match. It was looking like more of a formality for Doudrop. But Zelina Vega had some other plans. Just as Doudrop with going to hit Zelina Vega with a cannonball in the corner, Zelina escaped it and hit Doudrop with a double knee to Doudrop’s face.

But Doudrop showed her strength again as she hit Zelina with a big sidewalk slam for a close pinfall. She then attempted to hit a big splash on Zelina Vega. But ultimately, it was Vega who got the win after she moved out of the big splash and hit Doudrop with a Code Red Powerbomb.

It was indeed a shocking end to the Queen’s Crown tournament, as everyone expected Doudrop to get the win over Vega. It looked like WWE is finally ready to give Doudrop the push after she made her way to the final. But that was not the case.

Doudrop’s journey to the final was a very difficult one, and it was very disappointing for Doudrop to come just short of the finish line.

Doudrop’s difficult Journey to the final of the Queen’s Crown tournament

In order to be successful, one has to overcome a lot of difficulties. Doudrop did just that as she made her way into the final of the Queen’s Crown tournament. Let’s look at Doudrop’s journey to the final.

Doudrop’s journey to the final was not an easy one. In the first round, she got the better of the veteran, Natalya. Natalya is a very experienced wrestler. Having got the win over her, Doudrop had the perfect start to the tournament.

But things only got difficult for the former NXT UK superstar. In the semi-finals, she was up against the dangerous Shayna Baszler. For the past few weeks on Raw, Shayna had taken out Nia Jax and Eva Marie by potentially dislocating their elbows. Shayna was the hot favorite to win the match. Baszler even caught Doudrop in the Kirifuda Clutch. But Doudrop countered it with a reverse pin for the win.

But unfortunately for Doudrop, she fell at the last hurdle. Zelina Vega got the better of Doudrop in the final at the WWE Crown Jewel PPV.

However, the future looks bright for Doudrop even after the loss at the Crown Jewel PPV. Are you happy with Zelina Vega winning the inaugural Queen’s Crown tournament or did you want to see Doudrop as the ultimate winner?
