Update on Stephanie Vaquer’s WWE return

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Stephanie Vaquer is still expected back on WWE programming soon, but her return might not come on Raw tonight

PWInsider reported last week that there were people within WWE who expected Vaquer to return on Raw in Greensboro, North Carolina this Monday. The outlet posted a new update today saying they have not heard of Vaquer being in town for the episode. However, Vaquer is still expected to be back in the mix by WWE Clash in Italy weekend.

An angle took place on the April 27 edition of Raw where Vaquer, who is dealing with a sprained AC joint, had her shoulder attacked by The Judgment Day. The angle was done to explain Vaquer’s absence, with her not having competed in the ring since dropping the Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42. Their title program had been set to continue after Mania.

Vaquer was Women’s World Champion for 210 days before losing the title to Morgan. With Vaquer’s injury impacting plans, Morgan’s only match since WrestleMania was a non-title victory over Sol Ruca on April 20. Tonight’s Raw will have Morgan in Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez’s corner as they challenge Brie Bella & Paige for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.

Raw is in Greensboro tonight and Columbus, Ohio next Monday. Following that, WWE begins an extensive European tour on May 28. Turin will host the Clash in Italy PLE on May 31, along with the following night’s Raw episode.

Reported timeline on Stephanie Vaquer’s WWE return 

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

WWE creative is reportedly already discussing plans for Stephanie Vaquer’s return. 

According to PWInsider, Vaquer is expected to make a comeback on Raw next week. There have been internal creative discussions already in motion for her return. 

On the April 27 edition of Raw, The Judgment Day attacked Vaquer backstage. Later, it was announced that she had suffered a second degree AC sprain in her shoulder which could force her to be out of in-ring action for the ‘foreseeable future’.

Liv Morgan defeated Vaquer at WrestleMania 42 and concluded her 210 day title reign. This was her first WWE title on the main roster, where she defeated IYO SKY at Wrestlepalooza to win the vacant title. 

The WrestleMania win also kicked off Morgan’s third Women’s World Championship reign. She was confronted by Sol Ruca on the Raw after Mania, officially marking her main roster move.

Mexican authorities release statement following Cuatrero domestic violence conviction

Posted on by Josh Nason

Following Tuesday’s conviction of former AAA and CMLL wrestler Cuatrero on domestic violence charges resulting from a March 2023 incident with WWE wrestler Stephanie Vaquer, Mexican authorities released a statement Wednesday about the process to get there.

Cuatrero (Rogelio Reyes) was sentenced to nearly 13 years, two of which have already been served. A report Tuesday stated he could get a reduction in his sentence to another four+ years with Vaquer’s legal side expected to push for a longer overall sentence.

The domestic violence incident took place in March 2023 while Vaquer was wrestling in Mexico and in a relationship with Cuatrero. Vaquer claimed that an argument turned physical with Cuatrero grabbing her violently by the throat and throwing her into a wall, which caused an object to fall off the wall and onto her.

From the statement:

“The Mexico City Attorney General’s Office (Fiscalía CDMX) secured a conviction against Rogelio “N” (Cuatrero) after establishing his guilty verdict in the crimes of attempted femicide and equivalent domestic violence, committed against his former partner, in connection with events that occurred on March 2, 2023.

According to the investigation, Rogelio “N” physically assaulted the victim at a residence in the Colonia Doctores on the Cuauhtémoc borough, causing her various injuries. After the assault, he fled the scene.

“In response to these events, the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office (Fiscalía CDMX) launched an investigation and obtained an arrest warrant against Rogelio “N,” which was executed on March 11, 2023, by agents of the Investigative Police (PDI), in coordination with personnel from the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Aguascalientes (FGEA). Subsequently, he was indicted and placed under pretrial detention as a precautionary measure.

“On March 7, 2025, a court modified that precautionary measure and allowed him to continue the criminal proceedings while free under supervision, with the obligation to report weekly, not to approach the victim, and not to practice his profession as a wrestler.

“Once the corresponding procedural stages were completed and following the oral trial, the judicial authority handed down a guilty verdict against Rogelio “N” and imposed a sentence of 12 years and 8 months, in addition to the payment of full compensation for the damages. It also determined that the convicted individual will serve his sentence while remaining free and may continue to practice his profession, under judicial supervision, and must therefore report every three weeks regarding his appearances, venues, and match cards. As part of the protective measures for the victim, the court ruled that he may not participate in events where she is present.

“With this ruling, the Mexico City Prosecutor’s Office reaffirms its commitment to combating violence against women through robust investigations with a gender perspective, to ensure victims have access to justice, full reparation for the harm suffered, and protective measures that safeguard their integrity and safety.”

Cuatrero sentenced to nearly 13 years in prison for domestic violence against Stephanie Vaquer

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Former AAA and CMLL wrestler Cuatrero has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison for attempted femicide against WWE star Stephanie Vaquer.

After being found guilty earlier this month, Cuatrero (Rogelio Reyes) was sentenced today to 12 years and eight months in prison. He has already served two of those years, meaning he has 10 years and eight months left to serve. El Planchitas reports that Cuatrero could potentially only serve four-plus more years if he is able to receive a sentence reduction for good behavior.

El Planchitas adds that Vaquer’s side is expected to appeal for a tougher sentence.

The domestic violence incident took place in March 2023 while Vaquer was wrestling in Mexico and in a relationship with Cuatrero. Vaquer claimed that an argument turned physical, with Cuatrero grabbing her violently by the throat and throwing her into a wall, which caused an object to fall off the wall and onto her.

On International Women’s Day this year, Vaquer shared a message vowing to keep fighting for truth and justice in the case. When the incident first happened, there were people in wrestling who tried to protect Cuatrero and convince Vaquer not to go to the police. One of those was said to be AAA wrestler La Hiedra, who was dating Cuatrero’s brother at the time.

Cuatrero, who is the son of wrestling legend Cien Caras, had gotten out of jail in 2025 as he awaited the resolution of this case. He returned to the ring for indie matches this year.

Stephanie Vaquer’s ex boyfriend reportedly found guilty of domestic violence

Posted on by Jake Skudder

Stephanie Vaquer’s ex boyfriend Cuatrero has reportedly been found guilty of domestic violence and femicide against the now-WWE star.

Antonio Nieto reports that Cuatero (real name Rogelio Reyes) has been ruled a guilty verdict and he will be officially sentenced on Tuesday, May 12.

Cuatrero reportedly found guilty of domestic violence against Stephanie Vaquer

The incident in question took place back in March 2023, after which Vaquer officially filed a domestic violence criminal complaint against Reyes. Both were working at CMLL at the time.

TW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DETAIL: Vaquer alleged that Reyes had forced himself on her, choked her and threw her against a wall. Reyes was then arrested on March 10 and charged with attempted femicide and domestic violence before being released later that month.

Stephanie Vaquer reportedly to be out for the ‘foreseeable future’

Posted on by Ian Carey

There is said to be no timetable for Stephanie Vaquer to return to the ring.

The former WWE Women’s World Champion has been out of action since dropping the title to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42 Saturday.

On Monday’s edition of Raw, an injury angle took place that saw Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez jump Vaquer, pushing an equipment box into Vaquer’s shoulder. It was later noted on commentary that Vaquer suffered a second degree AC sprain.

On Thursday, WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reported that Vaquer is on the shelf for the “foreseeable future” and there is no timetable for her return.

The report continued that internal speculation is she could be out for a minimum of six weeks. There is also said to be optimism she would be back in time for SummerSlam, but that is not guaranteed.

Vaquer’s run with the WWE Women’s World Championship concluded after 210 days and five successful defenses on WWE programming after she won it from IYO SKY at WrestlePalooza on September 20, 2025.

Injury updates on Stephanie Vaquer & Talla Tonga

Editor’s note: This originally appeared in our members only section.

There are updates on both Stephanie Vaquer and Talla Tonga, courtesy of our Bryan Alvarez.

Vaquer was taken out backstage on Monday’s WWE Raw by Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Perez rammed a equipment box into Vaquer’s shoulder. and it was later stated by Michael Cole that Vaquer sustained a second degree AC sprain due to the attack and “would be out for a bit.”

Alvarez said the injury is legitimate and is likely the sprain they reference last night. It’s unclear where the injury was first sustained.

Vaquer last wrestled at WrestleMania 42 in a losing effort to Liv Morgan.

*******************

Tonga has been out of action since the April 17 SmackDown when he was in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. His absence on last Friday’s SmackDown brought into question whether he had been released given the day’s cuts since he wasn’t mentioned on the show.

Alvarez said Tonga is out with an undisclosed injury, but is expected back fairly soon.

Stephanie Vaquer injury angle takes place during WWE Raw

Posted on by Bryan Rose

An injury angle took place on Raw involving Stephanie Vaquer.

The now former Women’s World Champion was seen arriving at the arena on Monday when she was jumped by Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, the latter of whom pushed an equipment box right into Vaquer, crashing it into her shoulder area. Liv Morgan grabbed Vaquer by the hair and told her that this was now her championship.

Later in the show, Michael Cole noted that Vaquer had suffered a second degree AC sprain in her shoulder during the attack and as a result, would be out “for a bit.”

Vaquer last wrestled at WrestleMania, losing the Women’s World Championship to Morgan, who celebrated her victory on last week’s Raw. She was interrupted by Sol Ruca and the two ended up having a match. Although Ruca looked strong, interference by former friend Zaria helped Morgan score the victory.

On Monday, it was announced that Ruca would be signing her Raw contract on next week’s show, firmly establishing her as part of the red brand.

New Women’s World Champion crowned at WWE WrestleMania 42

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Liv Morgan has halted Stephanie Vaquer’s title run at WWE WrestleMania 42.

In the second last match of the night at WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Morgan entered the match with a special self-performed entrance featuring dancers and her new theme song.

What followed was a hard-hitting match between the two, with both of them stealing each other’s offenses. However, both women stood resilient to the attacks, before Vaquer fell prey to Morgan’s finishing move.

The final moments of the match saw Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez of The Judgment Day interfere and cause a distraction. Morgan took advantage of that moment and hit Vaquer with an ObLIVion to secure the three count and the gold.

In the end, Perez, Rodriguez, and Dominik Mysterio of The Judgment Day came out to celebrate Morgan’s title win with her.

Vaquer was the champion since September when she defeated IYO SKY to win the title at Wrestlepalooza. The title was previously held by Naomi before vacating it due to her pregnancy. Morgan previously held the Women’s World Championship from May 2024 to January 2025.

Who needs to get a win at WWE WrestleMania 42? | Opinion

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

It is finally WrestleMania week as WWE takes over Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

While nearly every WrestleMania 42 match carries some kind of significance, some outcomes will have a far greater impact than others. Here’s who I think needs a win the most on this year’s back-to-back cards.

Liv Morgan over Stephanie Vaquer for the WWE Women’s World Championship

Morgan’s rivalry with Vaquer has evolved into one of the most personal feuds on the card.

Morgan’s women’s Royal Rumble victory was widely viewed as overdue recognition for her contributions to the women’s division. Her eventual decision to challenge Vaquer, after being questioned about her work ethic, added a layer to the storyline.

Vaquer moved up to the main roster and won the title at Evolution last year. She initially drew fans’ support, but the limited title defenses and lack of engaging storylines became stale.

A WrestleMania victory would not only validate Morgan’s resurgence but also solidify her third reign as Women’s World Champion.

Randy Orton achieves his goal of a 15th World title

For Randy Orton, the mission is simple: win world title No. 15.

After falling short against John Cena last year, he now finds himself across the ring from Cody Rhodes—his former protege and friend. Their shared history has added depth to the build, particularly following Orton’s brutal contract signing attack.

Rhodes’ reign has been successful, but a bit formulaic. Orton winning here would not only achieve that goal, but would freshen up the main event scene and hopefully Rhodes afterward.

Oba Femi destroys Brock Lesnar

Femi vacated his NXT Championship in December 2025, and made his main roster debut at the Royal Rumble. He demonstrated dominance over the next few weeks on Raw and SmackDown and then responded to Brock Lesnar’s open challenge for WrestleMania 42.

Getting a win over someone of Lesnar’s stature at a platform like WrestleMania 42 in a dominant fashion would really accelerate Femi’s WWE career and help him become part of wrestling history. 

‘The Demon’ teaches Dominik Mysterio a lesson

From a familial bond to becoming enemies in the ring, the tension between Finn Balor and Mysterio had been brewing for a long while now with Mysterio’s constant critic of Balor’s inability to win the World Title as a big part of it.

The return of his iconic entrance theme and presentation associated with the Demon moniker has elevated the hype. The last time the character made an appearance was at WrestleMania 39 for his Hell in a Cell match against Edge and a lot has happened to both men since then.

During his time in the Judgment Day, it felt as though his run was being muffled. A win at WrestleMania 42 will hopefully revert him back to the destined push/opportunities he missed out in recent years.

Seth Rollins ends Gunther’s streak as the ‘career killer’ 

The unexpected buildup for Gunther and Seth Rollins for WrestleMania may have felt a bit rushed storyline-wise, but both stars are prominent enough to warrant a spot on the WrestleMania card. The two have a brief history when they collided in the semifinals for the World Heavyweight Championship in 2023. 

A victory for Rollins at Mania, especially with odds stacked against him and Gunther’s possible alliance with Heyman, would make for a compelling outcome. 

Rhea Ripley dominates the championship picture again in 2026

Since winning the the WWE Women’s title in November 2025, Cargill has defended it just once, that being in February. This led to concern from some fans regarding her in-ring capabilities and future as champion.

Going into their feud at WrestleMania, Ripley has earned the fans’ sympathy and support, especially with Cargill’s new alliance with B-Fab and Michin. Although she has IYO SKY in her corner, it might not be enough for Ripley to counter the numbers advantage for ‘Mania. 

But Ripley winning the title and officially moving to the SmackDown brand would re-establish her dominance, and shift her back into the singles spotlight. It would also prove beneficial for Sky’s future as a singles competitor after their tag team run.

Jacob Fatu sustains momentum

Fatu witnessed a rapid ascent since walking away from Solo Sikoa’s side of the Bloodline fence and on his own.

In January, he interrupted Drew McIntyre’s WWE Title match with Cody Rhodes which cost him the championship. McIntyre vowed revenge ever since and the two have continued their feud which only escalated in March, hence the unsanctioned match this weekend.

Fatu is being cemented as a top tier star in WWE. A marquee win over someone credible as McIntyre would benefit his career while a loss would weaken the dominant presentation WWE has been building up for Fatu. 

On the other hand, for McIntyre, a talent who has competed in consistent main events in his career, a potential loss would serve as a catalyst for a character evolution. It could also push for a more unhinged and unpredictable direction. 

Stephanie Vaquer makes cameo appearance on WWE NXT

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Stephanie Vaquer made a surprise appearance on Tuesday’s NXT.

As Lola Vice was preparing for her main event match against Jacy Jayne, the Women’s World Champion appeared and wish her luck against the now former champion Jayne. Vice responded in kind, telling Vaquer to beat Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42 this coming weekend.

Vice ended up successfully defending her title against Jayne. Although Laney Reid connected with a cheap shot at Vice on the ropes, Jayne missed a second rolling encore and walked into Vice’s spinning backfist. Vice fell on top of Jayne, covering her for the win.

After the match, Fatal Influence tried to carry Jayne away but were met by Kali Armstrong, who debuted earlier in the night. They shoved Jayne out of the way but were taken out by Armstong, who hopped on the apron to meet Vice. But right behind the two were Kendal Grey, with Izzi Dame then appearing on a nearby perch. Zaria came out but was quickly met by Sol Ruca, the two clashing one more time before their last woman standing match next week. The final moments of NXT made it clear that Vice had plenty of future opponents.

Stephanie Vaquer injury-free ahead of WWE WrestleMania 42

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer is feeling close to 100 percent heading into WrestleMania 42.

Earlier this year, Vaquer dealt with a minor ankle injury that impacted her WWE schedule. She has now recovered from that issue, telling Insight with Chris Van Vliet that, while every wrestler has some things they’re dealing with, she is injury-free at the moment.

“No,” Vaquer responded when asked if anything on her body hurts right now. “I mean, I have many scars and that hurts sometime. But if you talk about injuries, no, I’m good. I feel like after 12 years of career, of course, my body hurts, so I need to recover. But I’m not have really injuries right now. So maybe I’m not 100 percent for WrestleMania. I think I need to recover many little things in my body, but I’m not have injury, so I’m good.”

Vaquer answered affirmatively when Van Vliet asked if she’s feeling 98-99 percent. With how non-stop WWE is, it can be hard to find the time to recover. But she’s very passionate about her job and has focused on things like sleep, diet, training, and staying close with her family to stay physically and mentally well.

In her WrestleMania debut, Vaquer is defending the Women’s World Championship against Liv Morgan. Their match will be part of the card for night one of WrestleMania 42 this Saturday.
