Let me get something off my chest.
It's crazy how in 24hrs the news of Vaquer signing with WWE went from happiness and congratulations to a smear campaign and calling her unprofessional (thanks to a hit piece by shit meltzer).
Let me start by saying I watched an interview she did with Thunder Rosa, and I learned a lot about how she feels working in Mexico (it's a read between the lines thing). In it you realize just how hard she fought to become the top woman in Mexico right now.
I know from having family help build CMLL and then regretting it, that CMLL is a shit and toxic place to work for especially for female talent, LGBTQ, and foreigners (lots of xenophobia).
In Vaquer's situation, apart from the roster trying to break her and have her return to Chile, she starts seeing a fellow wrestler, only for her partner to be a monster and try and kill her. You think the next step would be to protect the victim, but the promotion and many wrestlers start to actively campaign for the innocence of your abuser and proceed to call you dramatic for a "minor relationship quarrel".
She became the top star by herself. She owes no promotion any allegiance ESPECIALLY when the promotions have clearly started where their allegiance stands. She is doing what I think most of us would do, follow the money, and work where you have always wanted.
She owes NOTHING to AEW and should not have to sign simply b/c she was featured on a PPV. Also, do you really think she would want to work there after she (and willow) helped elevate that NJPW strong championship, only to have to drop it because Mone asked for it. Fuck that! Furthermore, AEW houses many people who were vocal about letting her abuser be free, primarily Rush and Dralistico. I find it hard to believe that TK would release these two and others for Stephanie.
I do not think it's wrong for her to say no to working in places that make her feel uncomfortable. She has 10+ yrs in the business, she should do whatever the fuck she wants.
Put yourself in her shoes..... Have you never worked a shitty job where you are doing WAY MORE than what the job description said, knowing you are the reason the place is not in shambles, yet you don't see the same appreciation reciprocated. instead it's just toxic, so one day you just decide to leave and not give them any warning b/c fuck that place, it's what they deserve. We all have quit jobs with no warning. So why are we villainizing Stephanie
Also, if it was WWE's decision for Vaquer to pull out of remaining dates, it could be that they don't want her injured before she arrives.
Realistically, I hope WWE have helped her find a place and transferred her to Orlando as quickly as possible for her safety. They are doing her a solid by getting her as far away from her abuser and his supporters.
Also for her to go out still on top, and not putting Tessa Blanchard over....QUEEN 👑

Seeing the video of BO coming out announcing that they couldn’t play was sad (they sounded so disappointed) but hearing people scream dumb things at them broke my heart.
I’ve seen Bad Omens cancel a show. I drove for hours to watch them play for 30 minutes and then call it off. I get that it’s not what you want. But they can’t control that. In what world would these talented people who live for that experience choose to go against everything they have worked for?
I know that everyone on here reading this is on the same side, and that I’m just yelling into the void at the moment, but I’m just bamboozled at the behaviour of the crowd in the videos and I just hope to god that they all know that it’s just a handful of bad people in a sea of good 🫶
