Stephanie Vaquer, the reigning WWE Women’s World Champion, faces uncertainty as she appeared on the January 5 episode of Monday Night Raw wearing a walking boot after an ankle injury. Just a week after the injury, Vaquer was brutally attacked from behind by Raquel Rodriguez, a key member of The Judgment Day, intensifying their ongoing rivalry during the WWE Women’s World Championship Royal Rumble season.
Anticipated No Disqualification Match for the Championship
Following the ambush, Vaquer, known in the ring as La Primera, may be forced to sit out for several weeks to recover. However, there is optimism that she will be cleared to compete in time for the WWE Royal Rumble 2026 event. If Vaquer can return, fans are expecting a high-stakes No Disqualification match, where she would have the chance to defend her WWE Women’s World Championship against Raquel Rodriguez amid an electrifying atmosphere at Royal Rumble 2026.
What This Means for WWE and the Women’s Division
If Vaquer is medically cleared for the Royal Rumble, the match with Rodriguez could be a landmark clash for both competitors, putting the spotlight squarely on the WWE Women’s World Championship. Their confrontation, likely under No Disqualification rules, would mark a significant moment for the women’s division, as both athletes have established themselves as top-tier stars on Monday Night Raw. The outcome of this anticipated bout could also shape the championship landscape heading into the rest of the WWE season.
