Stephanie Vaquer's road back to the WWE ring appears longer than initially expected, with new reports indicating her injury is more serious than the company has publicly disclosed. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the former Women's World Champion is sidelined indefinitely, and no clear timetable for her return has been established within the organization.

Internal sources suggest a minimum six-week absence, though this remains speculative. While there's optimism she could recover in time for SummerSlam, that outcome is far from certain. The injury stems from a storyline attack on Raw, where Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, alongside Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, targeted Vaquer's shoulder with an equipment box. WWE commentator Michael Cole announced on air that Vaquer suffered a second-degree AC sprain as a result.

Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.com confirmed the injury is legitimate, noting it aligns with the sprain mentioned during the broadcast. However, the specific origin of the shoulder issue hasn't been verified, raising the possibility that the injury predated the Raw angle—meaning the attack may have been a creative way to write Vaquer off television while setting up future storylines for her eventual return.

A second-degree AC sprain involves a partial tear of the acromioclavicular ligament in the shoulder. Recovery typically spans several weeks to a few months, depending on severity and the physical demands of professional wrestling. This news adds to a challenging post-WrestleMania 42 period for Vaquer. Bodyslam reported that her Women's World Championship match against Morgan on Night 1 was shortened from its planned length because both competitors were already dealing with physical issues heading into the event. Vaquer ultimately lost the title to Morgan that night.

As of now, Vaquer has not publicly commented on her injury status. Fans will be watching closely for updates as the summer season approaches, hoping to see the former champion back in action soon.
