Stephanie Vaquer, the WWE Women’s World Champion, recently disclosed an ankle injury following last week’s episode of WWE RAW. Despite the announcement, sources indicate that her injury is not serious enough to keep her sidelined for long, with little to no downtime anticipated. The injury is reportedly typical for this type of physical strain and is being managed cautiously.
Insights from Wrestling Observer Radio on Vaquer’s Condition
Further information emerged during the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, where host Dave Meltzer discussed Vaquer’s situation after an attack by Raquel Rodriguez on RAW. Meltzer mentioned that a match between Vaquer and Rodriguez had been planned within the next two weeks, although the exact date remains uncertain due to Vaquer’s injury.
“Yeah, they were supposed to have a match in a week or two. I don’t know if she’s going to be ready by then, so we’ll see,”
Dave Meltzer said.
“I mean, obviously, they’re having a match as soon as she’s ready. She has a legitimate injury, but it’s a minor injury; it’s not as big an injury as they’re playing up.”
Meltzer added further details, emphasizing the injury’s minor nature and the likelihood of a swift recovery.
“I know that they (Raquel Rodriguez & Stephanie Vaquer) were supposed to do a match on TV in the next two weeks. I didn’t get the date, but I don’t know if it’s going to be quite as soon. But I heard she was going to be cleared pretty quick, so it’s a minor injury, but it’s a real injury.”
