The wrestling world witnessed a rare accelerated push as Stephanie Vaquer bypassed the typical NXT graduation timeline, landing directly on WWE’s Monday Night Raw roster mere hours after dropping her NXT Women’s Championship to Jacy Jayne. This lightning-fast promotion represents one of the quickest NXT-to-main-roster transitions in recent memory.
Raw General Manager Makes It Official
Adam Pearce delivered the bombshell announcement via WWE’s official Twitter account, confirming Vaquer’s immediate integration into Monday Night Raw. The timing caught many wrestling insiders off guard, as most call-ups follow a more gradual pattern.
Rather than allowing Vaquer time to adjust to her new surroundings, WWE has thrown her straight into the deep end. The former NXT Women’s Champion will compete in her Raw debut match with championship implications on the line.
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match Set for Monday
Vaquer’s first Raw appearance on June 2 will feature high stakes as she battles Ivy Nile and Liv Morgan in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifying bout. This represents a significant opportunity for the newcomer to make an immediate impact on the red brand.
The winner of this qualifying match secures a coveted spot in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, potentially fast-tracking their path toward championship gold. For Vaquer, victory would mean jumping from NXT champion to Money in the Bank contender within a single week.
Worlds Collide Commitment Remains Intact
Despite her main roster promotion, Vaquer will honor her previously scheduled commitment at WWE & AAA Worlds Collide on June 7. She’ll team with Lola Vice to face the duo of Chik Tormenta and Dalys in what promises to be an intriguing cross-promotional encounter.
This dual booking demonstrates WWE’s commitment to maintaining strong relationships with partner promotions while allowing their talent to fulfill existing obligations.
Other Call-Up Candidates Left Waiting
Wrestling industry reports had previously linked Jordynne Grace and Ricky Saints as potential main roster call-up candidates alongside Vaquer. However, WWE has remained silent regarding their status, leaving fans to speculate about their immediate futures.
The selective nature of Vaquer’s promotion suggests WWE has specific plans for the Chilean wrestler that differ from their approach with other NXT standouts.
Breaking Traditional Call-Up Patterns
Vaquer’s rapid ascension breaks several unwritten rules about WWE’s developmental system. Most NXT champions enjoy extended title reigns before transitioning to the main roster, often holding their championships for months rather than losing them immediately before a call-up.
This compressed timeline indicates WWE’s confidence in Vaquer’s readiness for Raw’s demanding schedule and high-pressure environment. Her international wrestling experience likely factored into this accelerated timeline.
With Vaquer set to make her Raw debut in such a high-stakes environment, will she prove that some wrestlers are simply ready to skip the traditional learning curve, or will the pressure of immediate championship contention prove overwhelming for the newly-minted main roster star?
