Stephanie Vaquer’s WWE status has led to a lot of confusion in recent weeks. La Primera dropped the Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan at Money in the Bank back in October, and it was announced on the following episode of Raw that she was not cleared to compete due to an ankle injury.
Vaquer then returned to the ring shortly after when she competed at WWE live events in Hawaii on 10/16 and 10/17. It was then announced that she would face Becky Lynch on the 10/26 episode of Raw to determine the number one contender for the Women’s World Championship.
However, Adam Pearce announced at the beginning of the show that Vaquer was not medically cleared to compete, so Becky challenged Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship in the main event.
It was reported that Vaquer had been pulled from in-ring competition due to a medical issue, but the situation only became more confusing when she returned to the ring to compete at WWE live events on 11/5 and 11/6.
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Stephanie Vaquer is cleared for in-ring competition, but she’s not on TV right now likely because WWE already had their creative in place.
“She’s healthy. She worked the house shows. She was not on the show tonight, but she’s cleared and everything like that. She’ll return to TV when they figure out what to do to get her to return to TV. They probably had this TV written.”
It’s not clear when Vaquer could be back on TV, but her storyline with Becky Lynch is obviously far from over. Regardless it looks like that storyline will have to wait as it was confirmed this week that Lynch will be challenging Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series later this month.
