Stephanie Vaquer needed assistance to leave the ringside area and get backstage after her match at Money in the Bank on Saturday night, according to footage reported by RingsideNews and Bleacher Report. WWE has not said whether she was hurt.
RingsideNews reported that the footage shows Vaquer visibly limping as she made her way to the back. Bleacher Report wrote that she needed the help of referee Jessika Carr to get around the ringside area and up the ramp. At one point, RingsideNews wrote, Vaquer "had to stop and sit down on the steel steps before continuing backstage with assistance."
RingsideNews suggested the problem may have started earlier in the match, when Vaquer appeared to land awkwardly on a crossbody to the outside. That is the outlet's reading of the match, and WWE has not confirmed any specific moment.
Both outlets were careful about what the footage proves. RingsideNews wrote: "At this point, there's no official word from WWE on Vaquer's condition." Bleacher Report said it is unclear whether Vaquer was truly injured in the match or was merely selling in an effort to put over the physical nature of the bout. Sportskeeda also reported that she struggled to walk and was helped to the back after the Money in the Bank match.
The show took place in New Orleans, and the footage began circulating online after the broadcast.
Several questions remain open. WWE has not announced a diagnosis or said whether any of Vaquer's upcoming dates are affected. It is also not yet known whether the limp was an injury or part of the match presentation.
As of Sunday, the only information on Vaquer's condition comes from the footage and the outlets reporting on it, and WWE has issued no statement.
