The December 10th episode of WWE NXT opened with drama as Stephanie Vaquer was revealed to have been attacked backstage.
The show began with Giulia addressing the NXT crowd, fresh off her victory in the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline. Her moment in the spotlight was interrupted by NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade. As tensions rose, Jade delivered a chilling revelation: Stephanie Vaquer, who might have come to Giulia’s aid, had been attacked backstage and would not be appearing.
Cora Jade claimed responsibility for the attack, and WWE also attributed the incident to Roxanne Perez in a post-show social media update. The duo then attempted to ambush Giulia in the ring. However, before their assault could escalate, former NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan rushed to the ring to defend Giulia, successfully driving Perez and Jade out of the arena.
Backstage, Vaquer was shown being treated by medical personnel, highlighting the seriousness of the attack. While details remain scarce, there is speculation about whether the incident will be used to further a storyline involving a potential kayfabe injury for Vaquer.
