In a thrilling turn of events, former CMLL World Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer made her highly anticipated WWE debut at a live event in Mexico City, Mexico. The debut comes just days after “WWE NXT” booker Shawn Michaels confirmed her signing, setting the stage for an unforgettable night for wrestling fans.
A Battle for the Ages
Vaquer’s debut match saw her face off against Isla Dawn, one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. From the outset, Dawn exhibited her dominance, taking early control of the match. The seasoned champion showed her prowess, but Vaquer’s resilience soon came to the fore. The tide began to turn when Vaquer executed a spectacular hurricanrana, followed by repeatedly slamming Dawn’s face into the mat. The momentum shift culminated in Vaquer’s signature move, a package neckbreaker, securing her a victorious debut.
Fans Erupt in Celebration
The Mexico City crowd erupted in cheers as Vaquer celebrated her victory. Footage of the match quickly spread across social media platforms such as X and YouTube, capturing the electrifying atmosphere of her debut. Fans were thrilled to witness Vaquer’s dream come true as she addressed the audience post-match, expressing her gratitude and excitement for her WWE journey.
Onward to Monterrey
Following her triumphant debut, Vaquer is set to continue her WWE journey with her second live event in Monterrey. While the specifics of her appearance remain under wraps, anticipation is high as fans eagerly await her next in-ring performance.
Adjustments and Sacrifices
Vaquer’s signing with WWE necessitated significant changes to her prearranged commitments. Originally scheduled to wrestle at NJPW x CMLL Fantastica Mania, she had to pull out of the event due to her new WWE contract. Additionally, 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
Vaquer’s withdrawal from Fantastica Mania led to a reshuffling of the event’s lineup. Her intended opponent, Lluvia, was thrust into a high-stakes match for the vacant CMLL World Women’s Championship. The match, which also featured AEW’s Nightingale and NJPW’s Viva Van, culminated in a historic victory for Nightingale. She now stands as the first woman to hold championship gold in NJPW, CMLL, and AEW, a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of women’s wrestling.
The Road Ahead
Stephanie Vaquer’s debut marks a new chapter in her illustrious career. Her move to WWE signifies a broader platform for her to showcase her talent and passion for professional wrestling. As she continues to navigate her new environment, fans can expect more exhilarating matches and memorable moments from this rising star.
