Stephanie Vaquer swept the wrestling fraternity off its feet with her WWE presence. La Primera debuted on NXT in July last year and transitioned to RAW after WrestleMania 41. Vaquer left an impact with her impeccable in-ring skills and overall presentation.
The Chilean star was unfortunately hit with a string of bad luck. She won the Battle Royal at Evolution in July to contend for the Women’s World Championship at Clash in Paris. However, the then-champion Naomi relinquished the title after announcing her pregnancy.
To decide her fate, Adam Pearce announced that Vaquer would face IYO Sky at Westlepalooza for the title. A contract signing between the two stars was slated for RAW this week, which witnessed a last-minute cancellation confirmed by Pearce.
The last time Stephanie Vaquer competed on WWE television was on July 28 in an 8-woman tag team match with Rhea Ripley, IYO Sky, and Nikki Bella by her side.
Stephanie Vaquer’s Mission on WWE NXT
The main event of NXT this week featured a #1 contender match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. The Culling (Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley) defeated Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx) and Sol Ruca and Zaria.
The NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne was seething at her teammates’ loss. During this time, three cars were seen entering the NXT parking lot. Unbothered, Jayne berated their performance, claiming she was the only one who truly worked hard to reach her level. Jayne’s rant was interrupted by Stephanie Vaquer’s unexpected comeback.
Hold that thought Jacy…

La Primera reflected on her victories on NXT before applauding Jayne’s efforts in dethroning her. She talked about the time she was dual champion with the NXT North American and Women’s Title. She proceeded to highlight her mission at Wrestlepalooza. Vaquer then introduced Tiffany Stratton. The Fatal Influence leader pointed out the number disadvantage and how Stratton and Vaquer were now outdated NXT talents. This led to Rhea Ripley walking out and announcing a match for NXT Homecoming next week.
The trio rushed into the ring as Jacy Jayne was getting frantic. Fatal Influence escaped as Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Stephanie Vaquer were cheered on by the NXT fans.
