There’s no stopping “La Primera” Stephanie Vaquer now that she’s defeated top “WWE Raw” star IYO SKY for the Women’s World Championship. Vaquer was a betting favorite going in to the match, and she bested SKY with a corkscrew moonsault for the victory. “La Primera” had been off the red brand for a few weeks prior to the match, due to an illness, according to Triple H in the post-show, and because of that, she feels like a fresh talent, even now with the championship, and there are plenty of exciting matches that could be on deck for her after she takes on the WWE Women’s Champion at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia next month.
While SKY seemed over the moon for Vaquer despite her own loss, SKY’s former bestie Asuka is likely not going to take it too well. The next step for “The Genius of the Sky” is a feud with “The Empress of Tomorrow,” but it’s likely that Vaquer could also face a heel Asuka somewhere along the line in tandem with that storyline. A Vaquer and SKY team-up against Asuka and Kairi Sane, who’s currently stuck in the middle of it all, also seems like a match that’s destined to happen.
Elsewhere on the roster, Vaquer has Roxanne Perez, who she knows well from their “WWE NXT” days, Lyra Valkyria, Natalya, and even possibly Bayley, depending on where her split-personality storyline takes her. It’s not clear where exactly Liv Morgan stands in her return, but once she and Perez have their feud, Morgan would absolutely head right for the Women’s World Championship.
“La Primera” could also have an excellent feud with Becky Lynch if Vaquer has a lengthy title reign. While Lynch is locked in a feud with the newly-returned AJ Lee right now, it seems very possible that Lee wins the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. When Lynch doesn’t win that back from Lee, she could get back in the main title picture and go after Vaquer, in a match we have yet to see in WWE.
Vaquer has stated that her dream match is Rhea Ripley, and that’s certainly one that fans would love to see in the near future. WWE obviously didn’t have any qualms about booking a babyface versus babyface match when it came to Vaquer and SKY’s match for the vacant title, so they very well could do it again with how much intrigue a Ripley/Vaquer match would draw.
