🔥 Stephanie Vaquer Injury Update Revealed—Why WWE Is NOT Panicking About Its Women’s World Champion
WWE fans held their breath on Monday Night RAW when Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer appeared in a walking boot, delivered an emotional promo, and was then brutally attacked by Raquel Rodriguez—a moment that felt like a clear write-off from TV.
But behind the scenes, the situation may not be as alarming as it looked on screen.
According to PWInsiderElite, Vaquer’s ankle injury is 100% legitimate, but the good news is that WWE does not believe it’s serious enough to keep her out long-term. In fact, sources indicate the injury is considered minor, and there are no plans for her to vacate the Women’s World Championship.
That’s a huge sigh of relief for WWE officials and fans alike.
Backing up that report, Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp also confirmed the injury is real, though the exact recovery timeline remains unclear. However, several positive signs stood out — Vaquer was in a walking boot instead of a hard cast, and she was still able to get involved in limited physicality on RAW, suggesting she narrowly avoided a worst-case scenario.
With the Royal Rumble fast approaching, WWE may choose to keep Vaquer out of in-ring action temporarily while still featuring her on television — or potentially pause her return until Elimination Chamber, allowing her title reign to continue without disruption.
For now, it appears the emotional RAW segment and Raquel Rodriguez’s attack were more about protecting the champion than sidelining her for months.
👉 Bottom line: Stephanie Vaquer is hurt — but not seriously enough to derail her championship reign. WWE is playing it safe, not hitting the panic button.
