The February 25 episode of WWE NXT in Cincinnati, Ohio was quite an episode from start to finish. You never know what they will do each week to shock fans, and this week was no different.
Stephanie Vaquer is enjoying her first reign as NXT Womens North American Champion. She defended her title for the first time against Karmen Petrovic.
Vaquer won the championship by defeating Fallon Henley at Vengeance Day on February 15. Petrovic earned the No. 1 Contender spot by defeating Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan in a Triple Threat Match on February 18s NXT.
This match kicked off the show, and fans were more than ready to get it going. This marked Vaquers first title defense, and she wanted to obviously start things off on the right track.
Fans chanted for Stephanie Vaquer as they carried on, even though Karmen Petrovic did maintain control for a bit of time. It didnt take very long for Vaquer to dominate the match in her own way.
Ashante Thee Adonis was in Karmen Petrovics corner, but that emotional support didnt help her much. In the end, Stephanie Vaquer made quite a statement as she won with her finishing move.
After the match was over, Giulia came out to make it clear that shes the best champion, and not Vaquer. They had a little back-and-forth before Giulia proposed that they find out who the best woman is. Vaquer said theyre friends, but a title for title match was still set. We will have to see when that dream match happens.
We will have to see what the next step is for Stephanie Vaquer. She certainly came into NXT with a lot of momentum, and we cant wait to see what she does next as NXT Womens North American Champion.
