Zelina Vega pays tribute to Lita at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia
Lita entered the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match sporting a tribute to fallen Superstars of years past. As it turned out, she had received one of her own the previous night.
Zelina Vega confirmed on Twitter that the outfit she wore to the ring for the main event of NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia was an homage to the former Women’s Champion, who used to accompany Essa Rios in an all-red ensemble similar to the one Vega wore at the side of NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas.
Glad someone realized that :) This is exactly why I wore it. @AmyDumas was always an inspiration of mine and this way my little way of showing my appreciation to her. https://t.co/Z5kmPqbJlm

With many calling Almas’ title defense against Johnny Gargano an early contender for Match of the Year, add this to the number of reasons the contest is proving hard to follow.
