WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H shared some important news after Wrestlepalooza went off the air last night. He explained the reason behind Stephanie Vaquer's recent absence from television.
In the lead-up to WWE Wrestlepalooza, La Primera's status was up in the air after she missed the contract signing with IYO SKY during the September 8, 2025, edition of RAW.
However, Vaquer returned in time for the event and went on to defeat SKY for the vacant Women's World Championship last night.
Speaking on the post-Wrestlepalooza show, Triple H revealed that the Chilean wrestler was sick and recovering from the flu, which prevented her from appearing on television.

“I’ll let everybody in on a behind-the-scenes secret with Stephanie. In the last few weeks, Stephanie has been very sick. I don’t know all the details of what the flu-type thing going on, but she was very sick. It was why she missed TV and it was why there was an odd build to it. She was able to feel well enough and get cleared medically to compete tonight.”
