• Stephanie Vaquer is reportedly heading to WWE, after leaving CMLL and NJPW. Both promotions announced her immediate departure for personal reasons, leading to her being stripped of her CMLL World and Tag Team Titles and her absence from FantasticaMania USA in San Jose this weekend.
According to Record Mexico, Vaquer has signed a multi-year contract with WWE. They report, “Chilean wrestler Stephanie Vaquer will be a new WWE superstar, thus making a big leap in her career. CMLL confirmed her disaffiliation.”
Her move to WWE is expected to be confirmed soon, providing a significant boost to WWE’s women’s division due to her talent and charisma.
Fightful Select reported that Stephanie had talks with AEW as well, but people backstage in All Elite Wrestling also believed she was heading to WWE.
They also reported that Stephanie is NXT bound and was backstage at the Heatwave PLE this past Sunday.
Stephanie competed at the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2024 PPV, where she lost the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship to TBS Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) in a Title For Title match.
