Stephanie Vaquers big WWE Womens World Title victory at Wrestlepalooza almost didnt happen under ideal circumstances. While fans saw her celebrate in Indianapolis, both she and Triple H later confirmed that she wasnt at full strength leading into the match.
During the Wrestlepalooza post-show, Triple H praised Vaquers performance but admitted she had been struggling for weeks. He revealed that her recent absence from television was tied to illness rather than injury.
That story was backed up by Vaquer herself. Speaking to Sports Illustrateds The Takedown just before the show, she explained how much the illness set her back in training.
Her words make it clear that stepping into Wrestlepalooza wasnt easy, but she still managed to push through and leave with the championship. Between Triple Hs admiration and her own admission, the new champion has already proven that shes tougher than most fans even realized.
With Vaquer now leading the division, the real question becomes who WWE lines up as her next challenger and whether she can continue to thrive after already conquering a major obstacle.
