Stephanie Vaquer says things were hard for her in CMLL.
Before signing with WWE in 2024, Stephanie Vaquer spent nearly half a decade in CMLL, where she was successful in both singles and tag team competition.
Vaquer has followed up on that success in NXT, recently winning the NXT Women's North American Championship from Fallon Henley in February.
While speaking with Busted Open Radio for a new interview, Stephanie Vaquer named CMLL as the company that she had the hardest time in before coming to WWE.
“CMLL. Because in CMLL, when you’re new, they say, okay, you’re new…good luck. See you in the ring. You’re so nervous…[but] now I feel really good because here in WWE is a teamwork. I can ask, and I can take, you can help me. I can ask. But in CMLL, nobody help you. You’re alone. No teamwork. If you know wrestling, yeah, wrestle, and nobody’s…training, ‘Oh, you can teach me.’ No. You can say nothing, you can do nothing. You can ask nothing. Yeah, [it was] scary all the time. I cried every day, and I’m training every day. The first year, so difficult for me because I’m the new…I cry every day after the training. I cry every day because you can ask, you can, ‘Please help me,’ [but] no help."
Elsewhere in the interview, Vaquer revealed that WWE asked her if she wanted to skip NXT. Check out her full comments here.
