Stephanie Vaquer appeared on crutches during the latest episode of WWE Raw after sustaining an apparent ankle injury in the Women’s World Championship match at WWE Money in the Bank.

Vaquer competed in a triple threat title bout against Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan at the premium live event. The championship changed hands in the closing moments, as Morgan regained the Women’s World Championship from Vaquer following an Oblivion.

The aftermath of that physical match carried into Raw. Jackie Redmond spoke with Vaquer backstage, where “La Primera” was visibly using crutches while dealing with the ankle issue. Vaquer nonetheless delivered an optimistic message when the conversation turned toward Lynch and her immediate condition.

“I’ll be fine in a few days.”

That was the extent of the update offered on Raw. WWE did not provide a formal medical diagnosis, a specific timetable for Vaquer’s return to the ring, or confirmation regarding whether she will miss any upcoming appearances. As a result, the full severity of the ankle injury remains unclear.

Vaquer’s Money in the Bank Match Ends With Morgan Regaining the Title

The injury update comes directly after a major championship development for Vaquer. At Money in the Bank, she entered the Women’s World Championship match as the titleholder against Lynch and Morgan. Triple threat matches place a premium on surviving chaos rather than simply outlasting one opponent, with every competitor needing to account for attacks, pin attempts and momentum shifts from two different directions.

In this case, the final swing went Morgan’s way. Morgan connected with Oblivion on Vaquer during the closing stages and scored the deciding fall to take back the championship. Vaquer therefore left the event without the Women’s World Championship, and the Raw segment added another immediate question around her physical status.

For Vaquer, the combination of losing the title and then appearing on crutches creates a difficult short-term picture. She has not indicated that she intends to step away for an extended period, and her own words suggested confidence that the issue will improve quickly. Still, an ankle injury can affect nearly every part of an in-ring performance, from footwork and balance to running, striking and taking impact.

Until WWE provides further clarification, it is too early to determine whether Vaquer will be cleared for her next scheduled in-ring appearance or whether the company will take a more cautious approach. The visual of Vaquer using crutches is the clearest indication so far that the issue is significant enough to require assistance while moving backstage.

A Brief but Important Raw Update

The interview with Redmond did not feature a detailed explanation of when the injury occurred during the Money in the Bank contest. Nor did Vaquer identify a particular move or sequence as the cause. The segment instead focused on her current condition and her message to Lynch.

Vaquer’s decision to address Lynch while injured also keeps the rivalry implications of the championship match in focus. Lynch was one of the two challengers involved in the title fight, and Vaquer made clear that she was not presenting the ankle issue as a reason to be counted out. Her promise that she will be okay in a matter of days conveyed resolve, even if it did not answer the larger medical questions surrounding her availability.

That distinction matters in WWE storylines and in practical terms. A wrestler can remain determined to compete while still needing time before being medically cleared. Vaquer’s comments establish her mindset, but they do not constitute a formal announcement that she is cleared to return immediately.

There was also no word on whether Morgan’s title victory will lead directly to a rematch with Vaquer, another showdown involving Lynch, or a different direction entirely. Vaquer’s health may naturally factor into how quickly any potential next chapter develops. With Morgan having regained the championship through the decisive Oblivion on Vaquer, the champion now holds the result that defines the current title picture.

What Is Known About Vaquer’s Status

At this point, the available information is limited but clear on several points:

  • Vaquer competed against Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan in the Women’s World Championship match at WWE Money in the Bank.
  • Morgan regained the title by pinning Vaquer after Oblivion in the closing moments.
  • Vaquer appeared on crutches during the following episode of Raw.
  • The issue discussed backstage was an ankle injury.
  • Vaquer said she expects to be fine in “a few days.”
  • No official diagnosis or detailed return timetable was announced.

Those details leave room for several possibilities, but none should be treated as confirmed until WWE offers a more complete update. It is not currently known whether Vaquer underwent additional evaluation, whether the injury will affect her training, or whether she will be absent from television or live events.

The next appearance by Vaquer will be worth watching closely. If she returns without crutches and is cleared for physical activity, that would align with her confident timeline. If WWE announces that she requires more time, then the ankle injury could become a more substantial factor in the Women’s World Championship division following Money in the Bank.

The Championship Scene Moves Forward

Morgan’s victory has already reshaped the division, as she is once again the Women’s World Champion after overcoming both Vaquer and Lynch. Triple threat victories can have lingering consequences because the wrestler who loses the title is not always the only competitor with a claim to the next opportunity. Here, however, Vaquer’s injury gives the immediate aftermath an additional layer of uncertainty.

Vaquer was the competitor pinned for the finish, which gives Morgan a definitive victory over the former champion at Money in the Bank. At the same time, Vaquer’s backstage remarks on Raw make it clear that she does not view the injury as an ending point. Her focus was on being ready again soon rather than dwelling on the loss or offering excuses for the outcome.

That response fits the urgency surrounding a title defeat. A former champion often looks to regain momentum as quickly as possible, particularly after losing the championship in a match involving multiple wrestlers. Whether Vaquer is able to pursue that momentum immediately will depend on the recovery of her ankle and WWE’s assessment of her condition.

Lynch remains part of the conversation as well because Vaquer singled her out during the Raw interview. There is no announced match between the two following Money in the Bank, and there is no confirmation that Lynch is next in line for Morgan. But Vaquer’s message ensured that the tension from the title match did not simply disappear after the final bell.

Awaiting Further Confirmation

For now, Vaquer’s status should be viewed as day-to-day rather than resolved. She sounded confident that the injury will not keep her down for long, but no further details were made public during Raw. The appearance on crutches is notable, while her prediction of being fine within days offers a reason for optimism without providing certainty.

WWE may clarify the situation in the days ahead, especially if Vaquer’s injury affects plans surrounding the Women’s World Championship. Until then, Morgan stands as champion following her Money in the Bank win, Lynch remains connected to the fallout from the triple threat, and Vaquer faces the task of recovering from an ankle issue after a demanding championship encounter.

The key development from Raw was simple: Vaquer is hurt, she is currently using crutches, and she believes the setback will be temporary. Whether that confidence translates into a rapid in-ring return remains to be seen.
