Stephanie Vaquer had a match of the night against IYO SKY at the last premium live event, Wrestlepalooza. At the event, Vaquer defeated SKY to win the vacant Women’s World Title. She will be facing Tiffany Stratton this Saturday at Crown Jewel with bragging rights on the line to determine this year’s Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.
Prior to Wrestlepalooza, Vaquer and SKY were meant to have a contract signing segment that was canceled. Turns out, Vaquer had an illness she was fighting.
While speaking with Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Vaquer talked about being sick for three weeks. “I was sick for three weeks before my match, but really sick. I had a bacteria in my throat. Something really weird. I couldn’t eat or drink anything for three days. I felt so weak, so bad, but all the WWE medical team helped me and supported me a lot.”
In a separate interview with ESPN, Vaquer stated that the match against SKY was the best so far in her career and a dream match.
“It was the best [match] of my career so far, and the result of the match was the dream of my life.”
“I’m proud because it wasn’t just a match for the most important championship, it was against one of the best in the world, Iyo Sky, someone I’ve admired for many years. So, the fact that I could compete for this title with her proved in the ring why we are both among the best in the world right now.”
