The NXT TakeOver: Phoenix pre-show got a special appearance from alumni Zelina Vega, who had some harsh words for Johnny Gargano.

It all went down while Gargano was accepting NXT's Match of the Year award for his TakeOver match against Andrade and Zelina Vega interrupted. 

"The reason that match was 'Match of the Year' was because Andrade was in it," Vega exclaimed. You didn't even win! Your ego is getting out of control." She then berated Gargano about what he's done since losing to Andrade.

"2018 may have been Johnny TakeOver ... but 2019 is the year of tranquillo," Vega stated.
