Hold onto your lucha masks, wrestling fans, because the Forbidden Door has just blown open some juicy rumors! Stephanie Vaquer, the CMLL World Women’s Champion, has set the wrestling world on fire after her stellar performance at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 30. While Vaquer may have handed over her NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship to Mercedes Mone, she won over the Long Island crowd and critics alike, emerging as one of the night’s standout stars.
Now, the rumor mill is buzzing with reports that both WWE and AEW are eyeing the Chilean sensation. According to Mexican outlet Record, both wrestling giants are courting Vaquer with lucrative multi-year deals. But here’s the kicker—Vaquer is still under contract with CMLL. Fear not, though! Lucha libre insider Luchablog reminds us that CMLL has a history of releasing talent for the right price, as seen with Máscara Dorada, who made waves as Gran Metalik in WWE.
Even if Vaquer were to ink a deal with either WWE or AEW today, visa issues and paperwork would likely delay her American debut. But with both companies reportedly keen to snag her signature, the wait might just be worth it. Pro Wrestling Insider recently noted that Mone entered Forbidden Door with a mission: to make Vaquer a star. And it seems that mission was a resounding success.
So, wrestling fans, stay tuned. This tug-of-war for Vaquer’s talent could shape the future of women’s wrestling in both WWE and AEW. Will she choose the glitz and glamour of WWE or the edgy excitement of AEW? One thing’s for sure: Stephanie Vaquer’s star is on the rise, and we can’t wait to see where she lands!
