To celebrate the October holiday, the WWE star posted a thread on Instagram of various characters she has cosplayed over the past year. The wrestler went viral after showing off her perfect take on a handful of classic Pokemon characters.
Preparing for trouble, Zelina Vega posed as Team Rocket’s Jessie by wearing an accurate re-creation of her iconic uniform. Her faithful depiction of the costume included a split crop top with a red R logo across her chest, as well as long black gloves and knee-high boots.
The wrestler is a dead-ringer for the Game Freak antagonist, even mirroring an episode of the anime when the villain’s flowing red hair is worn down.
