Stephanie Vaquer returns to Raw as the Women’s World Champion: Raw highlights, Sept. 22, 2025

Evansville, IN – It was a night of triumph, tears, and tremendous emotion as the WWE Universe witnessed history. Stephanie Vaquer, “La Primera,” captured the WWE Women’s World Championship in front of a passionate crowd in Evansville—and her powerful speech after the match reminded everyone why this moment meant so much.

“This is the dream of my life.”

Taking center stage, an emotional Stephanie thanked the crowd and reflected on her journey. Speaking partly in her native language and partly in English, she made it clear: this victory didn’t come easy.

“Many times I felt it was impossible. But I worked for it. I sacrificed for it. And I made it. I beat one of the best on the planet—Eosky.”

Overwhelmed by the support from the fans and the weight of what she had just achieved, Stephanie shared how she learned resilience and strength from her hero—her father. With her championship held high, she delivered a message of passion and perseverance.

“This championship represents the motivation and support you have all given me… Celebrate with me at Wrestlepalooza. And every single year, cry with me.”

What’s Next for the Champ?

The road ahead is no walk in the park. Stephanie's first challenge as champion comes fast—at Crown Jewel, she will defend her title against the winner of this week’s SmackDown triple threat match: Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax vs. Jade Cargill.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the fire in Vaquer’s voice made it clear she’s ready:

“My fire will keep making history—and nobody, I say nobody, can stop me.”

A Champion With Heart

As she stood in the ring, holding the WWE Women’s World Championship belt, Stephanie Vaquer wasn't just a champion—she was an inspiration. With her signature mix of intensity and humility, she reminded us that dreams are worth fighting for.

“Ladies and gentlemen, one more time for the brand new Women’s World Champion... La Primera, Stephanie Vaquer!”
