WWE Has Reportedly Delayed Plans For Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer To Face [SPOILER]

Last month, WWE teased a huge match for Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, and a new backstage update claims that the company has decided to hold off on what will be a huge clash for the time being.

Liv Morgan returned to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames, lending Dominik Mysterio a helping hand to ensure he'd defeat John Cena in the Last Real Champion's penultimate match. With that, "Dirty Dom" regained the Intercontinental Championship.

On the December 1 edition of RAW, Morgan made a point of confronting Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer backstage to make it clear she has her sights set on regaining the title. Nothing has come of it since, as Vaquer has been busy feuding with Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez.

Now, we have an update from BodySlam.net, which reports that while Morgan vs. Vaquer has been discussed "for some time," it isn't considered part of an "imminent buildup." Instead, it's said that WWE plans to build to the bout over a long period of time, allowing the tension between the two women to grow organically. 

It's said that WWE sees "tremendous value" in pitting Vaquer against top names like Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley, with those matches said to be part of a much larger plan for Vaquer's title run, pulling the trigger on them only "when the time is right." That seems to suggest Vaquer vs. Morgan isn't planned until much later in 2026.

Asked about her dream matches, Vaquer previously said, "One-on-one with Asuka. I really want it because it’s not been one-on-one. Asuka or Rhea, Mami versus Mamasita." 

Pushed to elaborate on her remarks that wrestling is her first language, the fan-favourite WWE Superstar said, "I think people need to understand it’s hard when you speak all the languages. It's so hard. And sometimes I know my English is not perfect, so sometimes I say something wrong, and sometimes people can be really mean on social media with that. I don't care."

"I speak it anywhere I can, because I need to learn. If I don't do I can learn. But, yeah, people can see that. People really can see that wrestling is my first language. Because in the ring, don't care if you speak English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, it's wrestling," Vaquer continued. "And wrestling, you feel your life. You don't need to speak the language. It's wrestling."

"Now I have been here 10 months. So I know my English is not perfect yet. I try, but I think for 10 months it's good. I try to learn every day."

If you need a reminder, here's Morgan's confrontation with Vaquer from last month:
