Reports Say Stephanie Vaquer's Ankle Injury Is Legit After Raquel Rodriguez Attacks on Raw

Backstage reporting indicates a day-to-day outlook that favors protecting her title reign.

Overview

  • Stephanie Vaquer appeared on Raw in a walking boot, with commentary attributing her ankle injury to the Dec. 29 Triple Threat title defense against Raquel Rodriguez and Nikki Bella.
  • Raquel Rodriguez attacked Vaquer in the ring, delivered a Tejana Bomb, targeted the injured ankle, and was stopped before using a chair as officials intervened.
  • Rodriguez struck again backstage, prompting on-air authority Adam Pearce to threaten fines and remove her from the building.
  • Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported the injury is legitimate, though the severity was not detailed.
  • PWInsider reporting indicates Vaquer is banged up but not expected to miss significant time, with WWE likely to limit her in-ring physicality rather than vacate the title as Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber approach.
