Thea Trinidad (Zelina Gomes) Heading to Street Fighter 6

After a childhood of playing with Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan and Jake the Snake action figures, I used to be a fan of WWF (now WWE) but It’s been a long time since I caught up with the soap opera of World Wrestling Entertainment, but I decided to watch the Royal Rumble Pay-per-view at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see the Street Fighter 6 cross-over with female wrestler Zelina Gomes, dressed as Juri from Street Fighter.

I’m not sure how good Gomes is as a wrestler, but I do know Juri is one of my favorite fighters from Street Fighter IV. There where plenty of rumblings on Twitter suggesting she could then become a guest commentator and sure enough, Gomes aka, Thea Thea Trinidad has now been announced as a guest commentator for the upcoming Street Fighter VI heading our way in June.
You can check out the full press release after the trailer.

Long-time Street Fighter™ fan lends her voice and likeness to the game as the latest in-game commentator

London (January 30, 2023) Thea Trinidad, also known as WWE Superstar Zelina Vega, has climbed to the top rope and somersaulted directly into Street Fighter™ 6 as the newest addition to the in-game commentator roster. Thea, a longtime Street Fighter™ fan, brings her strength, style, and electrifying personality to the growing roster of illustrious color commentators in Street Fighter 6. She is a current WWE Superstar, self-proclaimed gamer, and no stranger to the Street Fighter franchise, even modeling her ring gear as Juri at this weekend’s WWE Royal Rumble in San Antonio, Texas.

“I’ve been an avid gamer since I was a child and a huge fan of Street Fighter,” said Thea Trinidad. “I can still remember epic matches with my brother, and I would always beat him with my favorite character Vega. It’s surreal to now be a part of this amazing franchise and I am honored and thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
