WWE now have both Guilia and Steph coming to join the likes of Perez, Stratton, Green, Bayley, Belair, Morgan, Ripley and so on. Already been loving what WWE have been doing, but even more excited to see what they do with them

@pradayou5405 Ай бұрын

Weak. The AEW's top women's top storyline is actually based on women, The WWE's top storyline is based off a corny high school love triangle with Mid Morgan and Rhea Ripley. Other than Giulia, Steph, Bianca, and Rhea the women’s roster is trash.

@Blind_Sexy_and_Taken Ай бұрын

Yeah, when it’s they signed with AEW it’s they really wanted to go there. Let’s be honest Tony offers stupid money to wrestler is all the time. So to assume that it is solely the money and that WWE had to be where the money is a pretty stupid line. Tony has given huge money contracts to many people that do not deserve huge money contracts. So I have no doubt that the offer was ridiculously competitive at the very least. At least the girl will be in a real women’s division.

You're assuming she went to WWE cause of more money. Maybe she just liked the people or creative pitches better. Or she wants to work in front of more people. Or wants to wrestle on Wrestlemania.

They didnt bring up that a major reason she may have signed with WWE is some Luchadores in AEW (Rush and Dralistico) publically supported Vaquer's ex-bf after he was arrested for nearly choking her to death. It may have deterred her from signing there and having to share a locker room with men who supported your abuser. There are other benefits of signing with WWE. Like better stability, more opportunities to improve, as well as performing in front of more people. But sure lets go with money as to why

Never heard of Stephanie Vaquer before but its great to hear that for once WWE succeeded in outbidding aew for new talent. After WWE previously came up short against aew in trying to sign marquee NJPW stars like Kenny, Will, Okada & Jay, hopefully WWE will start to step up their recruiting efforts way more harder against tony hoarder from here on in especially as WWE as the far hotter promotion right now.

@jcsjapan Ай бұрын

I am happy for Vaquer's new deal, but sadly, this shows once again that WWE doesn't like to play nice. What is wrong with Vaquer doing a couple more shows before starting at WWE, so she can drop the belts, do a lovely farewell and thank you to fans, and eventually make her way to the Performance Center. I don't understand why WWE thinks they have to snatch someone immediately. This really doesn't make them look good in this deal, and the fact that Vaquer had to apologize for the inconveniences and not WWE is telling. NJPW and CMLL are definitely not happy with how WWE handled this, and I'm sure it is going to taint any possible future relations.

Good Day to all. Ah another day and more AEW nonsense. Is anyone surprised that Vaquer went to WWE with how AEW women's division is booked it's no surprise. Also Danielson won the Owen Hart championship but Bryan recently did an interview saying he doesn't want to win the belt and shouldn't at his stage of his career (fair enough can't argue there). Since the AEW Neckbeard fanbase at all internet die Uncle Dave loving marks it doesn't make and sense to have Bryan win the tournament, saying that this Tony Klown's way of booking the Chewbacca approach. It's upsetting since there is so much potential in AEW (and so many duds pointing at the Elite and Pals), there is a decent WWE alternative under all the mess/bad booking/bad decision making/money wasted etc... but Tony Klown can't get out his own way and admit he knows nothing and hire real professionals with a track record, turn this into a profitable successful business instead of E-Fed wrestling and being the butt of all jokes. I bet most of the upper talent just sit and laugh at TK since they can rob him blind while TK just wants to play with his toys.
