NXT’s April 1st episode came out swinging, and fans didn’t expect what dropped right out of the gate—Stephanie Vaquer is no longer a double champ.

The show kicked off with NXT GM Ava bringing out Vaquer, the reigning NXT Women’s and Women’s North American Champion. But what started as a victory lap turned into a controversial moment when Ava made a major announcement. “Each title needs to be defended,” she said before revealing that she and Vaquer had agreed to relinquish the NXT Women’s North American Championship.

The crowd wasn’t having it. Fans inside the NXT Arena booed the move immediately, but Vaquer quickly stepped up with a twist of her own. “I will only give up this title if I get to choose my opponent at Stand & Deliver,” Vaquer stated, throwing down a bold demand.

Seconds later, Jordynne Grace’s music hit and the TNA star walked out—clearly ready to throw hands. But before anything could get official, Jaida Parker stormed the scene, claiming she’s the one next in line. The face-off exploded into a brawl, leaving fans guessing who’ll actually face Vaquer on WrestleMania weekend.
