One WWE Hall of Famer is over the moon following the news that Stephanie Vaquer is on her way to the top wrestling promotion in the world.

Record Mexico was the first to report that Vaquer is indeed WWE-bound. She was reportedly in talks with AEW as well once her CMLL contract came due. Vaquer decided to explore her options following Forbidden Door 2024, and will be on her way to Orlando.

One legend who is thrilled to be working with the Chilean bruiser is WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative, Shawn Michaels.
