Stephanie Vaquer wins Women’s Championship at WWE NXT Roadblock

Stephanie Vaquer is now a double champion.

The NXT Women’s North American Champion defeated Giulia at NXT Roadblock to also become the NXT Women’s Champion for the first time. Inside the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, Vaquer pinned Giulia following three SSB back breakers to win the title. The show ended with Vaquer celebrating, holding both titles.

Giulia had held the NXT Women’s Championship for 63 days, defeating Roxanne Perez at NXT New Year’s Evil in January.

The build to the match to crown a double champion started on the February 25 edition of NXT. Giuila came out after Vaquer had successfully retained the North American title against Karmen Petrovic and challenged Vaquer to a title for title match. Vaquer agreed, setting up the match for Roadblock.

In recent weeks, former North American Champion Fallon Henley has been looking for answers from GM Ava on when she’ll be getting a rematch for the title. On this week’s NXT, Henley asked again only for Ricky Saints to interrupt, asking Ava an unrelated question.

Undertaker appearance, new match added to WWE NXT Roadblock

The Undertaker and WWE LFG coaches will appear on next week’s NXT Roadblock special.

As revealed during this week’s show, Undertaker, Mickie James, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Booker T, the coaches on the new WWE LFG reality show, are set to appear on next week’s episode. Booker T was already slated for the event as an NXT commentator.

A new match is also on tap for the March 11 NXT Roadblock show, with Roxanne Perez taking on Jordynne Grace. That bout was set up on Tuesday’s show after a backstage angle where Perez laid out Grace. Grace was victorious over Perez’s storyline ally Cora Jade on this week’s show via referee stoppage after an injury scare. Jade later posted on social media that she was “all good.”

The lineup for the Tuesday, March 11 WWE NXT Roadblock special from The Theater at Madison Square Garden:

New York City street fight added to WWE NXT Roadblock

A stipulation match is the latest addition to the card for WWE NXT’s Roadblock special.

Rivals Je’Von Evans and Ethan Page will face off in a New York City street fight when Roadblock takes place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday (March 11). The match was announced by NXT General Manager Ava in a video that WWE posted this afternoon.

Page defeated Evans in their match last month at Vengeance Day. In storyline, Evans had to sign a liability waiver to compete that night after having his jaw injured and teeth damaged by Page. There was a segment in December where Page wrapped a steel chair around Evans’ neck and stomped on it, causing Evans to bleed from the mouth.

Their feud has continued since then with Evans & Ricky Saints defeating Page & Wes Lee in the main event of NXT last week. Saints pinned Lee after Evans and Page brawled through the crowd and out of the arena.

Roadblock is airing live on The CW next Tuesday as a special episode of NXT. Here is what has been announced for the show so far:

  • Winner-take-all champion vs. champion match: NXT Women’s Champion Giulia vs. NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer
  • NXT Champion Oba Femi defends against Moose
  • TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz defend against Nathan Frazer & Axiom
  • New York City street fight: Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page
