WWE: Stephanie Vaquer shares worrying news

Stephanie Vaquer shared some worrying news recently. La Primera won her first Women's World Title after she beat IYO SKY in a highly acclaimed match at Wrestlepalooza on Saturday.

Vaquer and SKY put on a classic, with the former emerging victorious after a stunning top rope Spiral Tap. What makes this performance even more impressive is that she wasn't at 100% before the match.

Speaking on The Takedown on SI a day before Wrestlepalooza, Vaquer admitted that she was not at her best heading into the premium live event. She revealed that she was sick and couldn't train properly.

"To be honest, the last three weeks I was no good. I was sick. My body [does] not feel like a hundred percent," Vaquer said on Friday. "I feel a little weak. I could not train really good the last month, but when I [was] back last Monday, I really feel the people and I really feel everything and really forget everything about that," she said.

Vaquer had been absent from WWE programming for some time and only returned to TV last week on RAW to build up her match with IYO SKY.

Despite not being at 100%, she managed to pull off an exciting match against her illustrious opponent and went on to claim the vacant Women's World Title.

Triple H also shared an update on Stephanie Vaquer's health

Following her win, Stephanie Vaquer was congratulated backstage by Triple H. Later, during the Wrestlepalooza post-show, The Game shared that The Dark Angel had been "very sick."

He mentioned that it was some "flu-type" thing, but didn't have all the details. The Game added that this was the reason behind Vaquer being absent from WWE TV, leading to the "odd" build to her match at the premium live event.

With her first title win on the main roster, Stephanie Vaquer has proved that she can hang with the best in WWE. Now it remains to be seen how her Title reign pans out in the coming weeks.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
