Stephanie Vaquer’s WWE RAW appearance may have ended in victory—but there’s growing concern that she didn’t leave the ring unscathed.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Vaquer may have suffered a knee injury during her match against Roxanne Perez at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. During the post-match brawl involving Raquel Rodriguez and Perez, Vaquer attempted a springboard and slipped on the ropes, grabbing her knee immediately afterward. Bryan Alvarez broke the news during his review of the match:

“Stephanie and Roxanne… overall, it was pretty good, but they had a lot of problems—and it was mostly Stephanie was having a… she had a rough night.”

Dave Meltzer then added, “And she may have hurt her knee.” Alvarez elaborated on the moment that raised red flags:

“They do the match, and Roxanne ends up getting hit with the Angel’s Wings and Lung Blower for the pin. And then they do the thing where Raquel and Roxanne jump them and double team them. Nikki Bella’s music hits and Stephanie went for a springboard and she slipped on the ropes. And man, she grabbed her knee and she was walking, but she was limping.”

Meltzer confirmed the visible limp, “She was limping.” As for the backstage promo that aired shortly after the match, Alvarez explained that while Vaquer appeared to be walking fine, there’s uncertainty about when that segment was filmed:

“They did do a backstage promo [later in the show], which conceivably could have been taped before the match. Hopefully… well, I mean, she was moving all right in the sense, but in the ring, she was moving all right but limping. So, I mean, I don’t know. But the way she landed, it wasn’t a good landing.”

Vaquer’s team has not issued a formal update, and WWE hasn’t acknowledged any injury publicly, but the Observer’s report has sparked concern across the fanbase. With Vaquer now closely tied to Nikki Bella on television, any injury could potentially impact upcoming storylines.

Do you think WWE should play it safe and pull Stephanie Vaquer from in-ring action if her knee is injured? Or should she fight through it if the damage is minimal? Sound off in the comments and let us know how you’d handle the situation.
