This weekend, World Wrestling Entertainment held its annual Royal Rumble PPV from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. It wasn't a bad event, by Dubya Dubya Eee standards, with highlights including a shocking return by a ring legend, a dominant performance from giant stack of meat Brock Lesnar, and this, another neat bit of cosplay from Zelina Vega.
Vega, (in what might be the greatest moment in pro-wrestling history since The Shockmaster fell through a wall), joined the Royal Rumble match at number 25, making her entrance decked out in regal garb stylised after Mortal Kombat's evil empress, Queen Sindel. Proudly walking the aisle in a robe reminiscent of Her Majesty's MK 11 look, Vega dropped the finery to reveal ring gear more reminiscent of Sindel's early MK days.
Unfortunately for Vega, this gear did not automatically equip the star with the power of flight and, despite her best efforts, she was choked out and dumped ringside by former two-time NXT Champion Shayna Baszler, during a wild rampage that resulted in seven other eliminations.
This isn't, of course, Vega's first rodeo in the cosplay realm. At the 2019 Royal Rumble, Zelina entered the match wearing the garb of her Street Fighter namesake. The same month, Vega appeared at the Mortal Kombat 11 reveal event, this time dressed as Edenian assassin Jade. Vega, alongside her charge Andrade "Cien" Almas, also previously dressed as Pokemon's Team Rocket for a WWE promotional shoot.
I love that wrestlers are just massive nerds now. It's the best timeline.
The 2020 Royal Rumble is available to watch now on the WWE Network.
