Mercedes Mone credits herself as being a factor in WWE signing Stephanie Vaquer

As seen during the October 8th 2024 edition of NXT, Stephanie Vaquer made her WWE television debut. Stephanie signed with WWE earlier in the year.

Mercedes Mone, who faced Stephanie at the 2024 AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door PPV event, commented on their match in her newsletter…

“Another time was with Stephanie Vaquer for AEW’s Forbidden Door. Stephanie flew in that day and got to the building maybe an hour before the doors opened. We just talked about the match a little where she speaks a whole different language (Spanish). That was so hard. I’m like, my God, we don’t get time to walk over our moves, we speak two different languages, and we’re both tired, jet lagged, and hungry, too. Yet, that also turned out to be such a great match. She was signed by the WWE days later. I’d like to think our match had a say in that!”
