If surviving one title defense wasn’t hard enough, Stephanie Vaquer decided to do two in the same night—because apparently, she thought pain was part of the double champ contract.
Tuesday night’s WWE NXT gave us a main event that felt less like a wrestling match and more like a full-on endurance trial. After kicking off the show by pinning Jaida Parker in defense of the NXT Women’s Championship, Vaquer got the gift of gratitude from Fallon Henley and the rest of Fatal Influence: a post-match mugging. You know—friendship, but with boots to the ribs.
Despite having one shoulder wrapped in metaphorical duct tape and emotional trauma, Vaquer stumbled into the night’s second title defense—this time for the NXT Women’s North American Championship against Fallon “I Only Attack Injured People” Henley.
Henley, not exactly known for subtlety, opened the match with targeted shoulder strikes like she’d majored in spite. Vaquer fought back in flashes, channeling whatever was left of her internal battery. But just as things were swinging her way, Jazmyn Nyx nailed her with a Pele kick so slick the ref’s eyes instantly stopped working.
Still, karma arrived fashionably late.
As Nyx loomed for more chaos, Vaquer reversed Henley into her like a shoulder-seeking missile and followed up with her finisher, the SVB, pinning Henley for the win and completing the two-title defense gauntlet like a boss with a limp.
But celebration? Nope.
Jacy Jayne ran in like a discount jumpscare, initiating yet another round of “Let’s Beat Up the Double Champ” starring Fatal Influence.
Enter Jordynne Grace, guardian angel in gym form, who made the save. She picked up both titles like she was debating keeping them, but eventually handed them back to Vaquer with the level of reluctance usually reserved for splitting the check.
Then… BAM!
Jaida Parker—again—appeared to blindside Vaquer, clearly still mad about that morning roll-up. Grace quickly cleared her from the ring like a human delete button, leaving us with a final shot: Grace and Vaquer staring each other down like two people about to either team up or throw hands at WrestleMania. Possibly both.
