Here are four reasons why La Primera should retain the gold:

#4. To cement Stephanie Vaquer’s status as a hardcore main event competitor

Stephanie Vaquer is widely admired for her technical lucha libre skills, but winning a Philadelphia Street Fight would really show a new side of her. Surviving a match known for its gritty ECW-style toughness and use of weapons would prove she’s not just a talented wrestler; she’s a true survivor who can handle anything thrown her way.

Furthermore, retaining the Women’s World Championship would show the WWE Universe that La Primera can adapt to any environment, making her a much more daunting champion heading into WrestleMania 42.

#3. To overcome the underdog narrative

For weeks, Raquel Rodriguez has used her size and strength to bully the champion, even targeting Stephanie Vaquer’s ankle in a series of beatdown angles. If Vaquer wins, it would complete the classic underdog vs. powerhouse storyline.

Overcoming a powerhouse like Big Mami Cool while selling a compromised leg would make La Primera a more heroic babyface. This is seemingly the kind of momentum a champion needs before the biggest show of the year.

#2. The Dark Angel needs to stay dominant

Since her arrival, Stephanie Vaquer has been booked as a history-maker, becoming the first Chilean to hold a major gold in WWE and winning the 2025 Women’s Crown Jewel Championship.

Therefore, cutting Vaquer’s reign short now would feel premature. To truly establish her as a generational talent, WWE seemingly needs to give her a defining title defense, where she would beat a top-tier threat like Raquel Rodriguez definitively. Retaining the gold would keep her aura of invincibility alive.

#1. To set up a WrestleMania dream match

If Stephanie Vaquer retains, the door would stay open for a variety of high-profile WrestleMania 42 matches. Whether it’s a showdown with a returning legend or a technical masterpiece against someone like IYO SKY or Charlotte Flair, Vaquer as champion could provide a fresh matchup for The Grandest Stage of Them All.

A title change now might force WWE into a more predictable storyline that fans have seen before.
