Are Stephanie Vaquer and this top female WWE star both in the same boat?
Earlier this week, during the September 8th episode of Raw, fans were supposed to witness a contract signing segment between Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer. However, Vaquer’s sudden absence from the show led to the segment’s cancellation. While still scheduled to face Sky at WrestlePalooza, the 32-year-old was not seen wrestling on live televised shows since the July 28th episode of Raw.
However, The Dark Angel surprised her fans with her shocking appearance on the September 9th episode of NXT. Her recent creative booking decisions have also led fans to question another top female star’s run on the main roster.
Vaquer’s former tag-team partner and nemesis, Giulia, is the current Women’s United States Champion on SmackDown. However, despite her tenure as a top champion, the Japanese star is rarely featured in matches or PLEs.
Currently paired alongside Kiana James, she recently defeated Michin on the September 5th episode of SmackDown. Her last match before that was on the August 1st episode of the Friday-night show. She defeated Zelina Vega to win the title on June 27th. However, since then, Giulia has only wrestled in three live televised matches and three house shows.
Both Vaquer and Giulia enjoyed tremendous high-profile tenures in NXT, but have their creative run dried up since then?
While still a champion, Giulia struggles to find TV time. Fans need to wait and see if Vaquer faces a similar situation after she faces Sky in the next few weeks for the title.

In the main event of the September 9th episode of NXT, fans witnessed Stephanie Vaquer make her shocking return to the Tuesday-night show and confront The Fatal Influence.
As she was boasting her title achievements, Tiffany Stratton would interrupt Vaquer, followed by Rhea Ripley. The three top baby faces would then lay out a challenge for Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Jazmyn Nyx.
