-- Former CMLL multiple title holder Stephanie Vaquer made her debut for WWE this past summer and it happened immediately after she worked the joint AEW-NJPW Forbidden Door PPV. This obviously caused mixed reactions within the wrestling industry and fightfulselect.com has more details on how people felt about her abrupt move.
-- According to their report, AEW sources stated that Vaquer made a good impression on them with her work against Mercedes Mone but it became obvious after Forbidden Door that WWE was not only interested in signing her, but had already reached out and that there was a good chance that Vaquer would be heading there. What did surprise AEW officials though was how quickly her deal with WWE came together.
-- AEW sources claimed that they could relate to the business part of WWE wanting to sign a "great talent" that was being pursued by multiple promotions but didn't understand why WWE didn't allow her to finish her CMLL dates, especially when she had titles to drop. However, when her turnaround and quick appearance for WWE during the Mexico live events took place, it calmed down some of the criticism as it became apparent that WWE didn't simply pull her off shows without having any plans for her.
-- Interestingly, NJPW and AEW sources also believe that the Vaquer situation will make it very likely that in the future, talent who work Forbidden Door (or any co-promoted AEW show) will have to sign an agreement to not immediately jump ship to WWE, however, AEW hasn't commented or confirmed that this will be a requirement moving forward.
