In a major coup for WWE, the company has signed Stephanie Vaquer, the former NJPW Strong Women’s champion, to a multi-year deal.

The 31-year-old Chilean star quit CMLL and NJPW this week, two weeks after she lost the NJPW Strong Women’s title to Mercedes Mone at Forbidden Door. In a statement, CMLL also said that they stripped Vaquer of the CMLL World Women’s and World Women’s Tag Team championships after she abruptly left.

Vaquer had been working for CMLL since 2019 and also worked for NJPW and STARDOM over the past year.

Shawn Michaels welcomed Vaquer to the WWE family in a post on X, saying that he would see her in Orlando, suggesting that she will start with NXT.

With WWE having shows in Mexico this weekend, it would be the perfect place to introduce her to the WWE audience as she made her name in the country.

AEW were also heavily interested in getting Vaquer but she opted to sign with the company who in 2018 passed on her following a tryout in Chile.
