Vaquer Relinquishes NXT Title; Ladder Match Set
NXT Women's North American Championship Vacated; Ladder Match Set for Stand & Deliver
Orlando, FL – NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer relinquished her North American title on this week’s episode, setting the stage for a six-woman ladder match at Stand & Deliver. The announcement, made by NXT General Manager Ava, followed a discussion between the two where they concluded that Vaquer holding both the NXT Women’s Championship and the North American title prevented the latter from receiving the attention it deserves.
The decision to vacate the title came after Vaquer successfully defended both championships last week against Jaida Parker and Fallon Henley, respectively. Ava stated that relinquishing one title would allow other wrestlers to compete for and showcase the North American Championship. The new champion will be crowned in a ladder match at the Stand & Deliver premium live event on April 19, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Qualifying matches to determine the six participants began airing on this week's show, with Zaria defeating Lash Legend in the first qualifier. A match between Kelani Jordan and Roxanne Perez is also expected to determine another participant.
Vaquer agreed to relinquish the title under the condition that she gets to choose her opponent for the NXT Women’s Championship match at Stand & Deliver. This led to Jordynne Grace and Jaida Parker both vying for the opportunity to challenge Vaquer, resulting in a brief altercation between the two.
The ladder match promises to be a significant event, with several wrestlers already expressing interest. Roxanne Perez, a former NXT Women's Champion and Tag Team Champion, publicly declared her intention to win the North American title, aiming to become the first Triple Crown winner in NXT history. The upcoming qualifying matches will further shape the competition and reveal the full lineup of contenders for the vacant championship.
