Stephanie Vaquer cemented her status as the cornerstone of WWE NXT’s women’s division after a dramatic and high-octane victory over Jordynne Grace at WWE NXT Battleground 2025.The match, which had fans on the edge of their seats, saw both women bring their A-game. However, it was Vaquer’s resilience and experience that helped her overcome Grace and walk away with the NXT Women’s Championship still in her grasp.
The match had several jaw-dropping moments, one of which left WWE Hall of Famer Booker T completely speechless. In a particularly intense sequence, Grace hurled Vaquer onto the commentary table, coming dangerously close to landing on the veteran commentator. While Vic Joseph pointed out the narrow miss, Booker T played along, remaining completely silent in mock disbelief.
Despite the punishing offense from Grace, Vaquer regained control by sending her opponent crashing into the barricade. The Mexican star then capitalized on the momentum shift, ultimately retaining her title. With this victory, speculation is rife that Vaquer may soon be heading to WWE’s main roster.
Backstage drama with AAA stars and Jacy Jayne adds fuel to fire
The drama didn’t end inside the ring. Backstage, tensions flared when Vaquer crossed paths with two top AAA stars - Dalys and Chik Tormenta. With WWE’s upcoming Worlds Collide event on the horizon, where AAA talent is set to feature prominently, emotions were already running high. The confrontation escalated rapidly and may have turned physical if not for the timely intervention of Jacy Jayne.
In a shocking twist, Jayne delivered a stinging slap to Vaquer, sparking further chaos that required officials, including NXT GM Ava, to step in and separate the parties. Given Vaquer’s history with Jayne, this heated exchange may be a sign of another fierce rivalry on the way.
Adding more intrigue to the evening, WWE icon Bayley shared an Instagram story showing herself watching Vaquer’s match and raising her finger in solidarity as Vaquer stood tall post-match. The subtle gesture has sparked speculation that Bayley could be eyeing a future showdown with the reigning champion, possibly on WWE’s main roster.
With Worlds Collide fast approaching and unresolved rivalries intensifying, Stephanie Vaquer finds herself at the center of the storm. Whether in NXT, against AAA stars, or on RAW or SmackDown, “La Primera” looks poised to take her next big step in WWE.
