Overview

  • The championship was vacant after Naomi announced she was pregnant, and Raw GM Adam Pearce booked Vaquer vs. SKY for Wrestlepalooza.
  • Vaquer became the first Chilean to win a world championship in WWE.
  • She earned the title shot by winning July’s Evolution battle royal after a breakthrough NXT run holding the Women’s and North American Women’s championships simultaneously.
  • Triple H said Vaquer had been very sick in recent weeks and missed TV but was medically cleared to compete, and Wrestlepalooza was WWE’s first Premium Live Event on ESPN’s direct-to-consumer platform.
