Second-degree AC sprain leads to WWE writing Vaquer off television
Summary
– Stephanie Vaquer was written off WWE Raw after a backstage attack involving Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez
– WWE announced on Raw that Vaquer suffered a legitimate second-degree AC sprain in her shoulder
– Bryan Alvarez later confirmed the injury is real, though the exact timing of it remains unclear
Stephanie Vaquer’s angle on WWE Raw was not just part of the storyline; new reports confirm the injury is legitimate.
During the April 27 episode of Raw from the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, Vaquer was attacked backstage by Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez. The segment ended with Vaquer lying on the floor as medical staff checked her condition.
Later in the broadcast, WWE announced that Vaquer had suffered a second-degree AC sprain in her shoulder and would be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time. The segment served as the official explanation for her absence from television.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer has since confirmed that the injury is real and matches the diagnosis shared on Raw. However, there is still no clear answer on exactly when the injury first happened.
It has not been confirmed whether the shoulder issue occurred during a recent match or before the backstage attack angle was filmed. WWE used the attack to close out her current storyline and create a reason for her time away.
Vaquer had been dealing with major tension following her WWE Women’s World Championship loss to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania. Their rivalry appeared to be building further before this injury forced a sudden change in plans.
With the injury now confirmed as legitimate, the focus shifts to how long Vaquer will be sidelined and how WWE adjusts the women’s division while one of its top stars recovers.
