Stephanie Vaquer held the WWE Women’s World Championship for 210 days, defending the gold against WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez in multiple matches before dropping the title to the latter’s Judgment Day stablemate, Liv Morgan, at WrestleMania 42. The pair’s journey to “The Showcase of the Immortals” was highlighted on season three of “WWE Unreal,” and after their match, the cameras caught up with “La Primera,” who said it was actually the right time for her to lose the championship.
“It’s the right time because I imagine that my body is asking for a break,” Vaquer said in Spanish, translated within the captions by Netflix.
Vaquer was visibly upset, and began to cry before she could proceed her explanation. She said she had undergone “too a few years” of fighting non-stop.
“I didn’t handle my body as much,” she said. “I have been in WWE for a year-and-a-half and I’ve done lots of things, but before I came, it was 10 years of nonstop work. So, I feel it’s the right time because things occur for a reason. It’s the right time for me to handle my health and slow things down a bit, because I have been running on adrenaline for a few years.”
The star has been off WWE programming for the reason that April 27 edition of “WWE Raw,” where Morgan and Rodriguez attacked her backstage. Vaquer was reportedly written off TV as a consequence of a second-degree high ankle sprain. Rumors have been swirling regarding her return for months, with some placing her at Clash in Italy, which didn’t come to fruition.
