Lead rumor: Stephanie Vaquer injury
Remember when Stephanie Vaquer walked out of a trainer’s room on Monday Night Raw this week and got into a verbal altercation with Becky Lynch? Remember how she said she had an ankle issue but she would be fine in a couple days?
It turns out, she wasn’t lying!
That’s the word from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, at least. She legitimately injured her ankle during the triple threat match against Lynch and Liv Morgan at Money in the Bank. But, like she said, it’s not expected that she’ll be out for
very long.
That’s a big relief, considering she just missed a number of months due to injury earlier this year.
