Stephanie Vaquer may be facing a problem in WWE.
Stephanie Vaquer quickly became a fan favorite in WWE after joining in July last year. Her success in NXT followed when she began wrestling on the main roster, quickly getting involved in the Women’s World Championship picture. However, her status in the Stamford-based promotion might experience some changes.
After Stephanie’s match with Naomi was canceled at Clash in Paris due to the latter announcing her pregnancy, IYO SKY became the superstar Vaquer has to defeat for a chance to become the Women’s World Champion. Both women were supposed to have their contract signing on this week’s RAW to add a stop before their title match at Wrestlepalooza, but she didn’t appear.
Although Stephanie Vaquer wasn’t able to have her contract signing on RAW, she was among the main roster stars who appeared in NXT, where she aligned with Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton to set up a tag team match against Fatal Influence at Homecoming next week.
As it turned out, her absence may have been related to her health.
Hold that thought Jacy…

Stephanie Vaquer Is Allegedly Dealing With A Minor Injury
In a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that Stephanie Vaquer was absent on RAW due to a minor injury, but was cleared to wrestle next week. Bryan Alvarez contradicted this by saying he was told she wasn’t injured, but Meltzer insisted.
The Stephanie Vaquer thing, she has a minor injury. That’s the situation. But I think she’s I think she’s wrestling next week. [She has a minor injury? I was told the exact opposite: she has no injury.] No, I was told minor injury [I mean, she’s literally working next Tuesday.] Yeah, minor. [She’s working with a minor injury?] Well, everyone works with minor injuries.”
Alvarez questioned why Vaquer can wrestle next week but can’t do a contract signing with a minor injury. Meltzer replied that he doesn’t have all the details and doesn’t know the whole story, but was told by sources that it was minor and it’s not a cause for concern.
