The 32-year-old won her opportunity by winning a battle royal in the WWE Evolution PLE way back in July. But recent Stephanie Vaquer injury rumours has thrown more uncertainty on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Vaquer was supposed to fight Naomi, but the latter champion was forced to drop her title due to her pregnancy.

He discussed that she is undergoing a petty injury, but WWE anticipates her to resume work next week. Meltzer pointed out that there is nothing to be concerned about and that she will be in a tug of war in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>Double Duty on the Horizon<\/h2>\n<p>As planned, Vaquer will have two competitions next week. During NXT Homecoming, she will join Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton against Jacy Jayne, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/superstars\/fallon-henley\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fallon Henley<\/a>, and Jazmyn Nyx on September 16. Only a few days later, she will enter one of the largest matches in her WWE career: a Women\u2019s World Championship match with Iyo Sky at WWE Wrestlepalooza in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>Both Vaquer and<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/superstars\/iyo-sky\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Iyo Sky<\/a> have been respectful in front of their conflict. Although the two can part ways after the match, their meeting will be among the events of the year in the women&#8217;s division of WWE. It is assumed that Iyo Sky would switch her attention to her brewing competition with Asuka sometime, and Vaquer is there to shine.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"1911\">A Potential Dream Match<\/h2>\n<p>Should Stephanie Vaquer win the Women&#8217;s World Championship, then it would be possible to have the dream match she has been talking about. Vaquer vs. <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/superstars\/rhea-ripley\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rhea Ripley<\/a> at WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<p>Vaquer made prior remarks indicating that Ripley is her dream opponent due to her star power and experience in WrestleMania. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/09\/11\/why-becky-lynch-must-win-wwe-feud-aj-lee\/\" target=\"_self\">As Ripley has become<\/a> one of the largest figures in WWE, the match between the two would establish Stephanie Vaquer as a top-tier star and entrench her meteoric success since making her debut in October 2024.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stephanie Vaquer wins Battle Royal to earn title opportunity: Evolution 2025 highlights\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UWLh9fNpYsM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013\u00a0WWE\u00a0\u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on , Stephanie Vaquer, WWE WrestlePalooza and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
