10 Best Wrestlers Of 2025
4. Stephanie Vaquer
A perfect example of when performer and promotion are completely in lockstep, Stephanie Vaquer's 2025 has been endlessly rewarding while still leaving all sorts of matches and moments to get excited about in 2026.
The lower-key of the two belt collectors in mainstream women's wrestling this year, 'La Primera' scooped the North American and NXT Championships in quick succession while on the developmental brand, before taking the main roster by storm with a similarly rapid-fire ascension to the very top. Naomi's surrender of the Women's Championship due to taking maternity leave might have expedited Vaquer's trip to the top of Raw, but she was comfortably ready for the role thanks to her virtually incomparable run of good matches, an immediate connection with the wider audience, and the growing hype around her 'Devil's Kiss' move.
A Crown Jewel victory over WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton saw her gain literally the biggest prize she's achieved thus far, but it was yet another enormous stamp of approval she had absolutely no problem living up to. Captivating bell-to-bell, a recipient of one of the few decent Def Rebel themes ever and only just entering her prime at 32, Vaquer already feels like the star new signing from the latter days of WWE's creative boom.
