Stephanie Vaquer Makes WWE Debut in Mexico City
In a highly anticipated debut, Stephanie Vaquer made her official WWE in ring debut at a live event in Mexico City, Mexico. This milestone comes shortly after her signing was confirmed by "WWE NXT" booker Shawn Michaels, marking a significant transition for the former CMLL World Women's Champion.
The Debut Match
Vaquer's debut match saw her facing off against Isla Dawn, who currently holds one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. The event drew significant attention from fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike, eager to see how Vaquer would fare in her first WWE outing. Footage of the match, which has since circulated widely on social media platforms like X and YouTube, depicts Dawn taking early control, leveraging her experience and championship status to dominate Vaquer.
Turning the Tide
Despite Dawn's initial dominance, Vaquer showcased her resilience and skill, gradually shifting the momentum in her favor. A pivotal moment in the match occurred when Vaquer executed a hurricanrana, followed by repeatedly slamming Dawn's face into the mat. These maneuvers not only showcased Vaquer's technical prowess but also her ability to perform under pressure. The match culminated with Vaquer delivering a decisive package neckbreaker, securing her first victory in WWE and signaling her potential as a formidable competitor in the women's division.
Future Appearances
Following her impressive debut, Vaquer is slated to appear in Monterrey for her second WWE live event, set to take place later tonight. While the specifics of her role in Monterrey remain undisclosed, the anticipation surrounding her continued performance is palpable. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Vaquer will continue to establish herself within WWE's competitive landscape.
Departure from CMLL and NJPW
Vaquer's signing with WWE necessitated significant changes in her professional commitments. She was originally scheduled to wrestle at the NJPW x CMLL Fantastica Mania event on Saturday. However, her new contract with WWE led to her withdrawal from this and several other prearranged bookings. In light of her departure, Vaquer relinquished her CMLL World Women's and CMLL Women's Tag Team Championships, the latter of which she held alongside Zeuxis.
Impact on Fantastica Mania
With Vaquer unable to compete at Fantastica Mania, her scheduled opponent, Lluvia, was slated to compete for the vacant CMLL World Women's Championship. This championship match was transformed into a three way bout, featuring AEW's Nightingale and NJPW's Viva Van. The match concluded with Nightingale emerging victorious, making history as the first woman to hold championship titles in NJPW, CMLL, and AEW.
