Backstage, Vaquer was confronted by former champion Rhea Ripley. “No matter who wins on Saturday, I’m coming for the titleholder,” Ripley warned, before wishing Vaquer good luck.
Later in the night, Vaquer faced Kairi Sane in singles action. With Asuka in Sane’s corner, interference became a factor, but Vaquer fought through it. The bout lasted roughly 12 minutes and showcased Vaquer’s high-impact offense, including a top-rope crossbody onto both Sane and Asuka at ringside. She secured the pinfall after hitting the SVB on Sane.
After the match, Asuka tried to confront Vaquer, only for IYO SKY’s music to hit. The Wrestlepalooza challenger stepped in, exchanging words with Asuka before defusing the situation. Sky then offered her hand to Vaquer, who accepted, closing the segment on a note of respect between Saturday’s opponents.
Vaquer will now face SKY at Wrestlepalooza in a high-stakes showdown to crown a new Women’s World Champion.
