4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (9 February - Results & Review)

2. Vaquer Lays Down The Challenge

Booking a world champion who doesn’t speak a lot of English can present some challenges, but good booking views that as an opportunity.

Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio came out for the women’s Royal Rumble winner to gloat and talk about how she had both women’s world champions shaking with fear that their days were numbered when Stephanie Vaquer interrupted.

Vaquer immediately told Liv that she talks too much before launching into a tirade in Spanish. Morgan wisely asked Mysterio to translate, but Dominik – in a cute moment – refused, saying he didn’t think he should repeat it. Dirty Dom then fired back to Stephanie in Spanish, only for Vaquer to “translate” it as “He says he’s a little b**ch.”

Morgan confessed to not being able to speak much Spanish, and she started to offer Vaquer one of her “Hot Girls Love Dominik Mysterio” T-shirts, but she didn’t think the champ qualified to wear it… another good little moment of negging without being overt

Liv would overstep though when she called Vaquer “puta,” leading Stephanie to slap… Dominik.

Good stuff here with Vaquer establishing herself as a no-nonsense champion who also knew how to get under the Judgment Day’s skin. She couldn’t do a traditional promo exchange, so the Spanish sparring with Mysterio worked as a substitute. Clever stuff. Maybe Liv can brush up on her Spanish before WrestleMania and cut a few lines?
