Stephanie Vaquer Dealing With Legit Injury

Stephanie Vaquer’s situation following WWE RAW on April 27 has taken a serious turn, as her on-screen injury angle is now believed to be based on a legit injury. The segment added another setback after her recent loss at WrestleMania 42.

According to Bryan Alvarez, Vaquer’s shoulder injury is legitimate. The report aligns with what was referenced during WWE RAW, when commentary addressed the damage following a backstage attack. During the segment, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, working alongside Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, assaulted Vaquer backstage. The attack escalated when Perez drove an equipment box into Vaquer’s shoulder.

On commentary, Michael Cole stated that Vaquer suffered a second-degree AC sprain as a result of the incident. The injury is expected to keep her out of action for some time.

Details about when the injury first occurred remain unclear. Alvarez noted that the exact origin has not been confirmed. There is a possibility the issue existed before WWE RAW, and the backstage angle was used to explain her absence in storyline moving forward.

The timing comes at a difficult moment in her run. Vaquer had just competed at WrestleMania 42 Saturday, where she lost the Women’s World Championship to Morgan. That match was reportedly shorter than originally planned, as both competitors were dealing with physical issues heading into the event.

A second-degree AC sprain involves a partial tear of the acromioclavicular ligament in the shoulder. Recovery time can vary, but it often ranges from several weeks to a few months depending on the severity and rehabilitation process.

Vaquer’s absence leaves a gap in the Women’s division, especially after her recent title program. WWE has not confirmed a return timeline, but the injury angle on WWE RAW provides a clear storyline explanation for her time away.
