WWE SmackDown Superstar Zelina Vega appeared on the “I Hear Voices” podcast to talk about a number of topics such as how WWE’s Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon wanted her to do an accent for the Queen Zelina persona.
Zelina Vega said:
“It depends on which side of Zelina you’re asking about because there’s like so many different forms of her. But even just ‘Queen Zelina’, I remember Vince (McMahon) was like, ‘I think you should do an accent. Just a really bad accent’ and I was like, ‘Oh God. Okay, so what if we mix British and Australian?’”
Zelina Vega also talked about how she’s like a distant cousin from the Royal Family twice removed and if she hangs out with her friend who is an Australian, then she will sound exactly like she did.

“But I’m really thinking, I’m like a distant cousin from the Royal Family twice removed. Something ridiculous and he’s like, ‘Yeah. Yeah, do that. What does that sound like?’ I don’t know. I feel like if I hang out with my friend long enough. She’s Australian so kind of sounds like this (Vega does accent).”
