Zelina Vega wants to voice a character in a video game and then cosplay as that character in the wrestling ring.
Zelina Vega (Thea Trinidad) is part of the upcoming Street Fighter 6 video game commentary team. Vega has not been shy about her love of video games and anime. During an interview with IGN as part of IGN Fan Fest, Vega says that her ultimate dream is to begin doing voice acting work and eventually cosplay as a character she voices in the wrestling ring.
"So I actually really want to get into voice acting," she said. "Yes, I love it. I'm a huge fan of Naruto and Demon Slayer, and I'm just like, 'Man, it would be amazing to have this full circle of voicing a character and then cosplaying them in the ring. So, whether that is for Street Fighter in the future, maybe whether that's for Naruto: Ninja Storm, or for maybe a Demon Slayer game or something like that, but I would love to voice the character and then cosplay them. That's like my ultimate dream."
Zelina Vega is not the only WWE Superstar invested in video games. Xavier Woods and the main players on the UpUpDownDown YouTube channel continue to share their love of video games with the world in a way that is authentic and genuine. During this interview, Vega thanked Xavier Woods for giving WWE Superstars a platform that allows them to be themselves.
"It's amazing, honestly, and it's so cool because it's run by somebody who's such an amazing soul. Everybody loves Woods. Everybody loves him, and I feel like, to have someone like him just in charge of something like that, makes you just want to go in there and show out. Whether that's showing out in the way of like really trying hard on the video game because you want to win, or just doing it for the fans to see an extra side of you that they don't get to see all the time, it gives us an outlet to just be ourselves. He makes it just comfortable and okay to just be silly and nerdy, and however we want to be that day," she said.
