Stephanie Vaquer is reportedly nursing a legitimate ankle injury suffered at WWE’s Money in the Bank premium live event, though she is not expected to miss significant time as a result, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The injury first became public knowledge during a backstage segment on the following episode of WWE Raw, in which Vaquer was shown dealing with the ailment. Within the segment, she downplayed the severity of the issue and assured those around her that she would be fine to continue. At the time, it was unclear to viewers whether the angle was purely scripted or whether it was built around a real injury.
Meltzer’s report, relayed through the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, clarifies that the Raw segment was not far removed from the truth. According to that reporting, Vaquer is indeed banged up from the ankle injury sustained at Money in the Bank, but she is not expected to require much time away from in-ring competition.
Both Rajah and 411Mania independently confirmed the core details of Meltzer’s reporting, with 411Mania noting that while the injury is legitimate, Vaquer’s absence is not expected to be lengthy. Neither outlet detailed the specific match or spot during the Money in the Bank event in which the injury occurred, and WWE has not issued an official statement addressing Vaquer’s condition or any timeline for her status going forward.
The decision to incorporate the injury into a Raw storyline segment is a tactic WWE has used in the past when real injuries occur close to television tapings, allowing the promotion to acknowledge a wrestler’s condition on-screen while folding it into ongoing narrative without requiring a full withdrawal from programming. For Vaquer, who has been positioned prominently on WWE’s roster, the expectation of a short recovery window suggests she is likely to remain integrated into upcoming storylines rather than being written off television for an extended period.
As of this report, no further updates on Vaquer’s match status for upcoming WWE events have been made public. We Are Wrestling will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as additional details emerge.
