WWE superstar breaks silence after wardrobe malfunction leads to broadcast being cut
WWE superstar Zelina Vega broke her silence after suffering a wardrobe malfunction which led to Netflix cutting the live broadcast on multiple occasions.
WWE's Smackdown show aired live on Netflix from Bologna, Italy on Friday but coverage was interrupted during Vega's match with Piper Niven.
Having left the 'LWO' faction and transferred from Raw to go solo, Vega made his first in-ring appearance on the blue brand in 350 days but suffered difficulties with her new attire.
Her top appeared to slip on two separate occasions, including as she went for a 619, leading to WWE cutting to a black feed which led to some of the action being missed.

Viewers immediately noticed and it followed on from a similar incident involving WWE women's champion Tiffany Stratton on an episode of Smackdown.
On the US broadcast which was on a delay, no black screen was required as it was completely edited out because of different camera angles being used.
Vega lost the match after the more physically imposing Niven secured the victory with a brutal crossbody following interference from Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre.
And while she didn't address the wardrobe malfunction directly, Vega took to Instagram to reveal injuries she suffered at the hands of the three women.
Posting a close-up selfie on her story, she wrote: "Needed three b***hes to beat me.. That's craaazy. This is just the beginning. It ain't over till Zelina Vega says it's over."
WWE and Netflix censor John Cena segment
There was no black screen on Monday night Raw but WWE and Netflix were forced to censor a fair section of John Cena's appearance on the show in Brussels earlier this week.
The 16-time world champion made his first entrance since turning to the dark side and turning on undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and aligning with The Rock in shock fashion at the Elimination Chamber in Toronto.
Instead of running down to the ring, Cena walked slowly down the entrance ramp and was met by deafening boos by the passionate crowd.
They proceeded to chant "F*** you Cena!" and "Shut the f*** up!" - which caused the volume to be briefly lowered on the broadcast.
