Cosplay Queen will feature as a guest commentator in SF6Last night saw a who's who of WWE Superstars spill into (and out of) the squared circle, as the promotion held its annual Royal Rumble event, emanating live from San Antonio's legendary Alamodome ? As always it was a chaotic night of memorable moments, (no spoilz) one of which saw WWE Queen Zelina Vega rock up to the Rumble itself as Street Fighter 6 skull-kicker Juri Han!

Entering the Rumble at No. 21 Vega, (Thea Trinidad), arrived bedecked in awesome new gear (https://twitter.com/ZelinaVegaWWE/status/1619579739928412162?s=20&t=dimYMvdDtDvbj2fJfq4Nvg) that represents the former assassin in her spanking new Street Fighter 6 garb, complete with lollipop and pointy mobile, and Raspberry Ripple-style P2 hair color. Perhaps wanting to protect her toes in a ring full of marauding wrasslers, however, Vega wisely chose to don a slick pair of kicks rather than go barefoot.
Good call.

In addition, it was also announced that Vega will be one of the selectable guest commentators (https://twitter.com/StreetFighter/status/1619544463927394310?s=20&t=TnlkTsNBQm8tPboq9zf7Ww) for Street Fighter 6 when it launches in June, adding her voice to the litany of Street Fighter representatives that can be chosen to critique Versus matches live ? adding a little bit more of that tourney-style hype. This is no doubt a very proud and exciting moment for Vega, a noted lover of all things gaming.
As fans will know, Vega is renowned for showing up to major events in cosplay, having rocked a litany of awesome gaming heroes and villains. The trend began in 2019, when Vega entered the Royal Rumble as her Street Fighter namesake (https://www.destructoid.com/wwes-cosplay-lovin-zelina-vega-enters-royal-rumble-as-street-fighters-vega/). Since then, Vega has portrayed a variety of characters at WWE pay-per-views and other promotional events, including Mortal Kombat's Sindel (https://www.destructoid.com/wwes-zelina-vega-rocks-up-to-the-royal-rumble-as-mortal-kombats-sindel/), and Overwatch's Sombra. With her newest Juri look Zelina Vega has, coincidentally, cosplayed almost all of my mains.
If we could get a KoF Leona Heidern in the mix at some point, it's a full house!
Street Fighter 6 launches on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox July 2, 2023.
