You can catch Zelina kicking ass and taking names on WWE Monday Night Raw every week, but when she’s not smashing faces in and managing champions, she’s also an avid gamer and cosplayer: Her Instagram is filled with exceptional cosplays from everything from Team Rocket to Poison Ivy. However, above all she’s a fan of fighting games, so she’s cosplayed multiple Mortal Kombat characters: She even entered the 2019 Royal Rumble dressed as MK11‘s Queen Sindel. Her wrestling name is also a nod to Street Fighter’s Vega, who she has also cosplayed while wrestling.

Take a look at some of her best cosplay work below, and be sure to follow her on Instagram @zelina_vegawwe.
