WWE WrestlePalooza provided memorable experiences, yet one of the largest stories was provided behind the scenes. Triple H announced that Stephanie Vaquer had been ill throughout the weeks before her Women’s Title match against IYO SKY. Nevertheless, despite the loss, Vaquer not only got back to business, but she also won her first Women’s World Championship in WWE, making her misfortune a milestone in her career.
Struggles Before the Match by Stephanie Vaquer
Triple H, during the conversation, gave an insight into the bizarre construction of the Women’s title match between Stephanie Vaquer and IYO SKY. He showed that Vaquer had been fighting a bad disease in the weeks before it happened.
As Triple H revealed, Vaquer had been dealing with a flu-like illness that kept her off TV and even affected her ability to eat properly or take care of herself. Still, this setback only slowed her down briefly, as she pushed forward once doctors cleared her to compete.
Vaquer’s Triumph Over IYO SKY
In a match involving Stephanie Vaquer, one of the best of the division, IYO SKY, there was a contest to fill the Women’s Championship, which Naomi had vacated after revealing her pregnancy. The match was at WWE WrestlePalooza. Triple H commended the sheer will and stamina of Vaquer and had called IYO one of the best women of all time in the industry.
He characterised SKY as being beaten by Vaquer not just to come back but also to win the championship as something extraordinary. In the case of Stephanie Vaquer, the win was not merely one more win, but her first fall in the ladies’ world championship in the main branch of WWE. This victory was further enhanced by the fact that she had to overcome personal health challenges to capture the moment.
If the build was a little disjointed, the match itself was not.
Vaquer vs. SKY was the highest rated match from WWE WrestlePalooza during our live reporting. Fans on social media have heralded the bout the best moment during an underwhelming Wrestlepalooza.
Potential Rematch: Stephanie Vaquer vs. IYO SKY
It appears that the most logical step would be a rematch between Stephanie Vaquer and IYO SKY. Giving SKY a second opportunity to win the title would not only keep the rivalry intact. At the same time, a rematch would give Vaquer the chance to solidify her status as a worthy champion, especially against SKY, who remains one of the most accomplished and respected names in the division.
Another match between these two would definitely be exciting and would continue to keep the women’s division going.
