WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer continues her dominant run in 2025 by successfully defending her title against WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella at the Survivor Series: War Games event on Saturday night. Following Bella’s heel turn on the November 11 episode of “WWE Raw,” Vaquer stepped in to face the former two-time Divas Champion.
The match’s intensity escalated with Vaquer pushing Bella to the mat and landing several punches as the final bell rang, though Bella managed to recover quickly. After dodging a Meteora move in the corner and escaping the ring, Vaquer aggressively countered by slamming Bella’s face into the apron and commentary desk. Back inside the ring, Bella regained momentum, throwing Vaquer and applying a chokehold, but the referee interrupted it. Bella attempted her signature move, the Devil’s Kiss, but Vaquer countered with a roll-up. After Bella kicked out, Vaquer tried the move herself but was thrown into the ropes.
Vaquer gained the upper hand with a series of headbutts and clotheslines, followed by a Dragon Screw in the corner and an SVB, yet Bella kicked out again. Vaquer then executed a Meteora and climbed the ropes, but Bella avoided the attack and went for a Rack Attack 2.0, only to be thwarted by Vaquer stomping the bottom rope. In a crucial moment, Vaquer dropped her knee on Bella’s chest on the apron, lifted her to the commentary table, and executed the Devil’s Kiss. She then returned to the ring, performed the move again, and finished off the match with a Corkscrew Splash to secure her victory.
Fan Take: This victory solidifies Stephanie Vaquer’s status as a top star in WWE and showcases her rising dominance, which is thrilling for fans eager for fresh rivalries. It also emphasizes the evolving competition within the women’s division, promising more high-stakes and memorable matches in the future.
