Your United States champion, the one and only.

Zelina Vega, Zelina, how are you?

Good morning and congratulations.

Thank you so much. Thanks guys for having me. Hi, Tommy.

Hello, my dear. Congratulations. Thank you. It hasn't happened for me yet because I haven't watched it,

so that's why I didn't text you, but I haven't seen it yet. So I live in the real world where I have to watch it

before it happens. But I'm happy and so proud of you, as you know, I always am. Thank you. You

know me since I was like a baby, baby. So, I mean, you know, TNA wouldn't have happened either

without him. So I don't know, kind of seeing it from then until now is pretty crazy.

Absolutely. I think about it. And you've been a frequent guest on this show. You've been here in studio with us many, many times. And I want to talk about that journey because this is the first

time that you've won singles, WWE Gold.

And, you know, this journey, you know,

the relationship with your father and him being a catalyst of you being a wrestling fan.

And, you know, I remember the first time you appeared at Madison Square Garden, how big that was for you.
