Return Plans For Injured WWE Star Have Shifted
Stephanie Vaquer is now expected to return to WWE around Clash in Italy weekend, according to PWInsider, with her appearance at Monday's Raw not currently expected.
There had been talk internally of Vaquer potentially appearing at tonight's Raw, but as of the latest update, she is not reported to be in town for the taping.
The Clash in Italy targets a shift from last week's PWInsider report, which had pointed to a near-term return, with Monday's Raw specifically mentioned as a possibility. Creative discussions around her comeback have been picking up, but no date has been formally announced.
Vaquer has been out since the April 27 episode of Raw, when Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez attacked her in a backstage segment alongside Women's World Champion Liv Morgan. Roxanne Perez rammed an equipment box into Vaquer's shoulder, with Michael Cole announcing on commentary that she had suffered a second-degree AC sprain. Bryan Alvarez of F4W and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter both confirmed the injury was legitimate. The incident forced the cancellation of a planned Vaquer vs. Morgan match at Backlash on May 9 in Tampa.
Vaquer held the Women's World Championship for 210 days before dropping it to Morgan at WrestleMania 42 Night One in a match that ran under seven minutes, with both wrestlers reportedly dealing with physical issues heading in.
