New WWE Rumors on Stephanie Vaquer's Indefinite Absence with Injury, Is SummerSlam Return Possible?

Former women's world champion Stephanie Vaquer is reportedly expected to miss a significant amount of time following an injury angle during Monday night's episode of WWE Raw.

According to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select (h/t Derek Holloway of Ringside News), a source said they have heard Vaquer is slated to miss at least six weeks, and her absence could potentially stretch even further beyond that.

Although there is reportedly "hope" Vaquer will be back in time for SummerSlam on Aug. 1 and 2, there are some "cautions" in WWE regarding that timeline.

Vaquer dropped the Women's World Championship to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42, but she confronted Morgan on the ensuing episode of Raw, which suggested a rematch was possible.

However, on this week's Raw, Vaquer was jumped backstage by Morgan and her Judgment Day stablemates. Later in the show, the announce team noted that La Primera had suffered an injury to the AC joint in her shoulder.

Coming out of Raw, Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live (h/t Steve Carrier of Ringside News) reported that Vaquer's injury was legitimate, and it may have actually been a shoulder ailment, as WWE referenced.

Vaquer potentially being out until or even beyond SummerSlam is undoubtedly a hit to the Raw women's division, but there are also still plenty of other women on the roster capable of stepping up and challenging Morgan.

Iyo Sky, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria and the recently debuted Sol Ruca stand out as possibilities, plus WWE has seemingly started to build tension between Morgan and Roxanne Perez.
