Current WWE Champion Was “Really Hurt” On RAW

A WWE Champion appeared to have hurt themselves on the latest RAW episode.

Stephanie Vaquer competed in a singles match, facing The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez. While the champion won, she was attacked by Raquel Rodriguez after the bout.

Luckily for Vaquer, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella came to her aid, but received a Big Boot from Rodriguez.

Bella’s save gave Vaquer just enough time to recuperate, as she prepared for a springboard move on Rodriguez. However, the 32-year-old tripped on the top rope, forcing Rodriguez to catch her before landing on the mat awkwardly.

As Vaquer stood up, she immediately clutched her left knee, which may have been hurt due to her fall. While she thwarted the attack, the champion was seen hobbling as she walked up to Bella.

Stephanie Vaquer May Have Been Injured On WWE RAW

Former WWE wrestler Stevie Richards believes that Stephanie Vaquer may have been legitimately hurt, but managed to avoid anything serious.

Richards recently assessed the botched spot from Vaquer on his The Stevie Richards Show podcast.

I think she [Stephanie Vaquer] might have thought she hurt her knee. But she ended up okay because right here, she’s still grabbing that left knee. If she’s selling, great job. But she’s also trying to get back on her feet and limping around with it.

Now, what lends me to believe that this was real, at the time she might have just got scared and been okay, the gears of the brawl postmatch have completely went from excitement, the boot here, then when she does that, it goes to a snail’s pace, and she keeps going back to selling, and then the heels powder out.

There’s another spot here where she goes towards Nikki [Bella] and then there’s something that happens here with the girl [Roxanne Perez] here, and ends up powdering out. She ducks something from her. Nikki hits her, goes out, and it’s over. I thought she was really hurt.

Vaquer later posted an Instagram Story from the WWE Performance Center with the caption, “Time to Rehab,” indicating that she might have actually hurt her knee.

The promotion, meanwhile, has made no mention of an injury to the Women’s World Champion.
