Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer is headed into a big match at WWE's WrestleMania 42 this weekend against Liv Morgan and ahead of the event, she sat down with Chris Van Vliet where she discussed a number of topics while noting that she is currently free of any injuries after getting banged up earlier in the year. Highlights are below:
On winning the World Title
“This is amazing, because that’s a long history. Before Wrestlepalooza, [it was] supposed to be I go to Clash in Paris. I was really, really sick, so they cancel my participation in Clash in Paris. I’m so, so sad. So after, WWE said, Don’t worry, we have iced the story for you. Wrestlepalooza is a big event; it’s the first Wrestlepalooza, so I’m excited. One week before, I get sick again, I feel sick again. So medical say, Okay, I’m sorry, but you can’t go to Wrestlepalooza. I already have the ticket, the flight for my dad and everything and like that. That was so hard in that moment, but I talked with Triple H, and I talk with many people in WWE and say, ‘No, I’m ready. I’m not sick. I feel good. I can do that. Please just let me go, I can do that.’ Finally, I was there, and that was amazing, because it’s not just Wrestlepalooza, big event with IYO SKY, my dad was there and my dream that Women’s World Champion.”
On cutting promos in Spanish
“Yeah, because many people on social media sometimes say she cut a promo in Spanish because she can’t in English. No, I can do it, but if WWE want it in Spanish, for me, it’s better because I’m Latina. I love my language, and I love when people can understand that, and I love people can know about me, about my language, and I feel different. I mean, when I speak in Spanish, I can feel different, because if I speak another language I need to think about the translation to say it. It’s not the same when I say in Spanish, just say in Spanish. I really enjoy the promo in Spanish, and I can do in English too. But I love that mix between Spanish and English promo.”
On what she's most grateful for
“The support for all my people, health and I don’t have injuries.”
