Stephanie Vaquer promoted to WWE RAW roster has been confirmed following her successful run in NXT, as she is set to debut in the Money in the Bank qualifier on June 2 against Ivy Nile and Liv Morgan, expanding WWE’s roster with a fresh competitor. The announcement finalizes weeks of speculation about Vaquer’s future, culminating in significant anticipation among wrestling fans.
Vaquer Signs with RAW After Impressive NXT Tenure
Adam Pearce, the general manager for Monday Night RAW, appeared in a video shared on WWE’s X platform, highlighting Vaquer’s signing as an official member of the RAW lineup. As Vaquer finalized her contract, Pearce welcomed her with the words, Welcome Home, and the moment was shared widely across WWE’s platforms to excite the fanbase.
Vaquer’s promotion comes after a notable period in WWE NXT, where she quickly rose to prominence. Prior to joining NXT, she wrestled internationally, including a stint in Japan’s World Wonder Ring Stardom. After completing her time in Japan, Vaquer appeared in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), battling Mercedes Moné as a free agent. This generated speculation about her next move, but rumors about signing with WWE only became reality on October 15, 2024, when she entered the NXT ring for the first time to face Wren Sinclair.
Championship Wins and Early RAW Appearances
Vaquer’s accolades in NXT include capturing both the Women’s North American Championship and the NXT Championship, establishing her as a standout talent among her peers. While she is only now officially part of the RAW roster, she previously competed in a RAW match on the post-WrestleMania episode, taking on Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky. However, that contest ended without a result as Roxanne Perez and Giulia intervened, causing a no-contest ruling.
Potential Impact on WWE’s Women’s Division
Now that Vaquer has joined RAW alongside established names like Rhea Ripley, Morgan, Raquel, Perez, and others, excitement is building over potential future rivalries and the possibility of title contention. The Money in the Bank qualifier represents a crucial first opportunity for Vaquer to make her mark on the franchise’s flagship show.
Her arrival promises new matchups and storylines within the women’s division, as well as heightened competition in a roster known for depth and talent. With her debut set, fans and fellow superstars alike are watching to see whether Stephanie Vaquer can translate her past championships and rising profile into lasting success on RAW.
