If this continues, WWE might have no choice but to promote Stephanie Vaquer soon.

Roxanne Perez and Giulia clearly are being positioned to join the main roster full-time, given their tangling with Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky recently.

For Vaquer, the current NXT Women’s Champion, she had her second main roster match in as many weeks on Monday night, and she drew a huge reaction from fans. Battling Ivy Nile, La Primera was never in true danger, but she kept the match flowing as she unloaded on Nile. Ivy hung with Vaquer for a bit, but the champ rallied to put Nile away, delivering two Devil’s Kisses to make fans – and Booker T – happy.

The fan reaction to Vaquer was noticeably louder than the pop for many of the bigger stars already on the main roster, and that might force WWE’s hand in trying to decide what to do with her.
