CMLL posted on social media that Stephanie Vaquer has left the promotion and New Japan Pro Wrestling effective immediately.
The news was followed by a statement from the former NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, who is vacating the CMLL World Women’s and World Women’s Tag Team Championships.
At this moment I stop belonging to the ranks of CMLL and NJPW Clarify, I AM LEAVING THROUGH THE BIG DOOR, forever grateful to the WORLD WRESTLING COUNCIL AND NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING, and in the best terms.
From today I vacate the CMLL World Women’s Championship as well as the CMLL World Women’s Couples Championship.
For which I offer an apology to the fans. For obvious reasons, I will not be present at the next shows and I hope you can understand that the terms between companies are what lead to this statement.
With Mexico in my heart and with the commitment to represent Mexican wrestling wherever I go
Infinite thanks to SR Salvador Lutteroth for his good wishes and also to all the unconditional support of my people and my colleagues
THANK YOU
WWE was reportedly interested in Vaquer following her match against Mercedes Mone’ at AEW Double Or Nothing, per F4WOnline.
Speculation on the company’s interest has since been all but confirmed, courtesy of Shawn Michaels via social media.
