Stephanie Vaquer has been on an absolute tear since she made her way to Monday Night Raw earlier this year. However, shes been constantly competing in high profile matches and that takes its toll on her body. Fans wondered why Vaquer was absent from Raw this week and now the reason behind her absence has been revealed.
La Primera took to Instagram and uploaded a video where she was getting an injection in her left knee. She explained that her knee is okay and the shot was just part of routine maintenance. She also joked about making a bit of a scene during the process and thanked the WWE medical team for their support and care.
The video also showed the doctor injecting fluid into Stephanie Vaquers knee and then after it was done, he showed how the fluid would eventually transfer to her knee and help her.
This would explain why Stephanie Vaquer was absent from the June 23rd edition of Monday Night Raw. Before this, she was last seen during the June 16th edition of Raw, where she faced off against Asuka, Raquel Rodriguez and Ivy Nile. Asuka would win the match and advance in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
Even though Stephanie Vaquer had to take a short break for knee maintenance, its clear she still has a ton of momentum on her side. Regardless, well have to see if she will return on Raw next week as fans are already missing her in a big way.
