Stephanie Vaquer Reveals Fans Once Hated Her Devil’s Kiss Finisher Before It Became Iconic

Stephanie Vaquer’s rise in WWE has been nothing short of incredible, but her most famous move, The Devil’s Kiss, wasn’t always met with applause. In fact, the Chilean star admitted that when she first tried it in Mexico, fans and peers told her to scrap it completely.

Vaquer explained during a conversation with Chris Van Vliet that the move wasn’t even something she designed intentionally. Instead, it happened by mistake during training while she experimented with a pin variation.

“Um, mistake. I’m training, I try to do a pin, I try to do something with my coach and I say if I do this this… I don’t remember well but the position change and I say this nice, it’s like you can take that and like did but many did you know like and know the neck it’s like her and I say okay I like this.”

But when she finally pulled it out in front of a crowd in Mexico, the reaction wasn’t what she hoped for.

“And I remember the first time I did it in Mexico and many people say that’s look weird. It’s like no good. And I said no, I like. And many people say don’t do that, look weird. I say no, I like and I keep for long. And now look, it’s a big move. It’s a big move. Yeah. People love it. Yeah. Me too.”

Despite early criticism, Vaquer trusted her instincts and stayed committed to the move. Now, The Devil’s Kiss has become one of her signature finishers in WWE, earning loud reactions from fans and even commentary praise from Booker T during her matches.

Vaquer’s story shows the power of standing firm in your vision, even when others don’t see it. What was once considered “weird” is now one of WWE’s most exciting finishing moves, proving that persistence and self-belief can turn doubt into success.
