Vega’s passion for gaming was on full display at Saturday’s WWE Royale Rumble. Vega was the 21st person to compete in the Women’s Royale Rumble. She did so while dressed as Juri, the fighting game heroine from Street Fighter 6. Viewers initially thought it was just a fun costume from Vega, but it was quickly shown to be part of official sponsorship.
Not only is WWE collaborating with Capcom to promote Street Fighter 6, but Vega is also collaborating with Capcom to be a Street Fighter 6 commentator. Surprisingly, it appears that these two phenomena are distinct. Vega’s Street Fighter 6 commentary work is done under her real name, Thea Trinidad, implying that WWE is not officially engaged or sanctioning the game.
