“I’ll be very honest. Since I was a child, my dream was to sign for WWE,” Stephanie Vaquer said. “But you grow up, you can’t be guided by the dreams you had when you were 9 years old. When I did what I did in Mexico and Japan, I had already fulfilled a dream. I was missing this extra. Not everything is money. I received another very juicy offer financially. To be a complete wrestler, I was missing being in WWE. I came to NXT because it was the best women’s division in existence.”
Stephanie Vaquer has qualified for the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Match at NXT Deadline. More information is available here.
