Stephanie Vaquer wrestled again on November 5 at the live event in Portland, Maine, ending several weeks away from the ring because of an undisclosed illness. The former Women's World Champion teamed with IYO SKY and Lola Vice against Fatal Influence, and her side got the win. Her absence had people asking questions ever since WWE pulled her from a scheduled match against Becky Lynch on the October 26 episode of RAW. She's now been cleared to compete, though her next televised appearance hasn't been announced yet.

Stephanie Vaquer Teams Up With IYO SKY and Lola Vice to Defeat Fatal Influence in Portland

The return came at a non-televised house show, in a six-woman tag. Vaquer's partners were IYO SKY and Lola Vice, and across the ring was Fatal Influence, which meant Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.

The babyfaces went home with the win, and that settled the question of her in-ring status, since she'd been off WWE programming with no confirmed return date.

She was also reported as cleared and travelling with the company for its Maine shows, with matches planned in Portland and Bangor. So the Portland match was always expected, just not confirmed to fans until she walked out.

Dave Meltzer had talked about her absence before the return and said,“She's ill. You know, it's not anything. I was told nothing terribly serious or anything, but she's, she's ill and she's out.”

Earlier reports had gone further and said she'd be out “indefinitely,” which didn't hold up once she showed in Portland.

Stephanie Vaquer's WWE Return Could Bring Her Back Into the Liv Morgan Championship Picture

Vaquer still has unfinished business with the Women's World Championship, which Liv Morgan holds right now. The two have traded the title more than once.

Morgan first won it at WrestleMania 42, Vaquer took it back in September at a live event, and then Morgan got it again last month in a three-way match with Becky Lynch at Money in the Bank 2026.

Morgan's next big match is against WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green at Crown Jewel 2026. Neither title is on the line in that one, so it's a standard singles match without the gold.

Vaquer's next televised opponent hasn't been named, and WWE hasn't confirmed any new championship plans for her.

A Morgan and Vaquer rematch is one obvious route given how many times they've fought over the belt. For now it's only a possibility.
