WWE Superstar Stephanie Vaquer has officially addressed swirling rumors about her current status, confirming she is not injured and is instead taking time to improve her English language skills. The Chilean star spoke candidly during an interview with Adrian Hernandez, shutting down speculation after she missed a high-profile contract signing segment on WWE Raw in early September 2025.
Rumors Sparked By Missed Appearances and Conflicting Reports
Stephanie Vaquer was originally slated to challenge Naomi for the Women’s World Championship at WWE’s Clash in Paris event. When Naomi announced her pregnancy, she vacated the title, putting Vaquer’s championship shot on hold. Subsequently, WWE scheduled Vaquer to face IYO SKY for the vacant Women’s World Championship at the September 20 Wrestlepalooza event.
However, Vaquer’s absence from the September 8 Raw contract signing segment with IYO SKY raised questions among fans and insiders alike. Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that he was informed Vaquer was dealing with a “minor injury,” while other respected voices like Bryan Alvarez contradicted this, asserting that Vaquer was not injured[1][2].
The confusion deepened after Vaquer made a surprise appearance on NXT the following day, where she teamed up with Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton[2]. This contradiction between reports and appearances left many wondering about the real situation.
Stephanie Vaquer’s Own Words: “No Injuries, I’m Ready”
In a clarifying interview with Adrian Hernandez, Stephanie Vaquer directly addressed the rumors and put them to rest:
“No, I saw social media. Sometimes, many things are not real. There’s no injuries. I’m ready for Raw next Monday, so no. No injury.”[3][4][6]
Vaquer’s statement was unequivocal—she is healthy and prepared to compete in upcoming WWE events, including the much-anticipated Wrestlepalooza. Consistent with this, WWE officials later confirmed Vaquer’s involvement in the Wrestlepalooza card, underscoring their confidence in her full readiness to perform[1].
Backstage Insight: Language Barriers and Adjustment Periods
While injury rumors were debunked, Stephanie Vaquer revealed to Hernandez that her temporary absence and missed appearances were due to her commitment to improving her English.
“I need to be honest. This is so difficult for me right now. I really want to try, and I know my English is not perfect yet. Ten months here. So I think for ten months my English maybe is not so bad, and I really want to learn more.”[5][6]
According to a WWE insider familiar with Vaquer’s transition,
“Stephanie’s dedication to refining her English is a priority for her and the company. WWE recognizes the importance of clear communication, especially as she steps into more prominent storylines and promos. It’s not unusual for international stars to take some time adjusting, and Stephanie is putting in the work.”
This focus on language skills is critical as Vaquer gains visibility on WWE’s main roster and premium live events, where mic skills and promos are essential to character development and fan engagement.

Stephanie Vaquer’s upcoming match against IYO SKY for the vacant WWE Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza promises to be an important milestone in her career.

With the rumors now dispelled, all eyes are on Vaquer’s in-ring performances and promos over the next few weeks. Her surprise tag-team appearance on NXT with Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton has already helped keep her momentum alive while showcasing different aspects of her wrestling persona[2].
