Wrestling and Street Fighter became the perfect cross up, as we witnessed Zelina Vega bring Street Fighter 6’s Juri to life at Royal Rumble.
Thea Trinidad aka Zeliona Vega, known as one of the most prolific female wrestlers in WWE, gave us gamers a treat when she entered at No. 21 at Royal Rumble 2023, cosplaying Juri from Street Fighter 6.
Aside from just the costume, Zelina literally cosplayed Juri to the fullest, with Juri’s signature move to knock Xia out the ring.
Take a look at how spot it was with a comparison:
This isn’t Thea Trinidad’s first video game character, which she’s paid homage to, as she has expressed her love for gaming, cosplaying as Sindel from Mortal Kombat, Sombre from Overwatch and more
