Hold onto your lucha masks, folks, because Stephanie Vaquer, the standout star of AEW’s Forbidden Door 2024, is causing more commotion than a royal rumble at a retirement home bingo night!
Despite falling to the illustrious Mercedes Mone, Vaquer wowed the Long Island crowd like a magician at a toddler’s birthday party. Her performance was so electrifying that both AEW and WWE have been scrambling faster than a wrestler running from a chair shot to sign her up.
In an unexpected twist that no one saw coming (except maybe your nosy neighbor who always knows everything), Vaquer is set to leave NJPW and CMLL effective immediately. This shocking news was delivered via a press release, which cited “personal reasons” for her sudden departure. Personal reasons? More like personal victory lap!
In light of her exit, Vaquer will be stripped of her CMLL Women’s and Women’s Tag Team Championships. She also won’t be gracing the CMLL/NJPW FantasticaMania USA event this weekend, where she was supposed to defend her title against Lluvia. Now, Lluvia will face Viva Van and AEW’s own Willow Nightingale in a three-way battle royale to crown a new champion. Talk about adding some sizzle to the fajitas!
Speculation is hotter than a wrestling mat in July, with fans and insiders alike guessing where Vaquer will land next. Fightful Select, always with their ear to the ground, confirmed that both AEW and WWE have been courting Vaquer harder than a prom date. While some believe she’s WWE-bound, nothing has been confirmed yet. So stay tuned, because this is turning into a cliffhanger more gripping than a daytime soap opera!
Vaquer, born in the wrestling hotbed of San Antonio, Valparaiso, Chile (yes, you read that right), has been kicking it in CMLL since 2019. Her career skyrocketed in 2023, thanks to a match with Mone at New Japan Resurgence that had everyone from grandma to the mailman talking. She then went on to snag the CMLL Women’s Championship and Women’s Tag Team Championships with Zeuxis. Talk about a banner year!
As the wrestling world holds its collective breath, one thing’s for sure – Stephanie Vaquer is the hottest free agent since sliced bread. So grab your popcorn and stay tuned, because the next chapter in this saga is bound to be a blockbuster!
