However, a high-stakes match like this requires careful planning from Triple H and the creative team. A misstep could weaken the momentum of this rivalry, which has the potential to be one of the show’s biggest highlights.

As we look ahead to The Grandest Stage of Them All, here are five mistakes WWE must avoid to ensure La Primera vs. The Miracle Kid lives up to the hype.

#5. By possibly doing a double turn, where Stephanie Vaquer turns heel, and Liv Morgan turns face

Currently, Liv Morgan is arguably the most effective heel in the women’s division. As a manipulative leader who controls the locker room, she portrays a character that fans love to hate. On the other hand, Stephanie Vaquer represents a tough, respect-driven competitor that the audience is starting to support naturally.

Turning Vaquer into a heel would feel unnatural and forced. Similarly, trying to make Liv a sympathetic face again would undo months of strong character development. Both women are likely performing at their best in their current roles. WWE shouldn’t change what’s working.

It’s best to let the natural rivalry between The Miracle Kid and La Primera conclude or perhaps continue without unnecessary character shifts.

#4. Having Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez play a role in the outcome of the match

It’s well-known that Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez have their own history with the participants in this match. While it makes sense for them to be watching from the shadows or even appear at ringside to support their Judgment Day stablemate, they should not influence the outcome of the match.

There’s nothing more frustrating at WrestleMania than a big match ending with a chaotic finish, a distraction, or a roll-up caused by outside interference. If The Prodigy or Big Mami Cool gets involved, it should only be a mid-match distraction. The final result must be clean or at least clear-cut.

Fans are paying to see who the better woman is inside the ring. If Roxanne or Raquel interferes and costs someone the title, it might rob fans of a definitive WrestleMania Moment. That’s not all. It might also leave the match feeling more like a bout on a regular episode of Monday Night RAW rather than a memorable ‘Mania highlight.

#3. Booking Cathy Kelley to be involved in the match in any capacity

On the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW, Liv Morgan suddenly attacked Stephanie Vaquer during her interview with Cathy Kelley. During the chaos, Vaquer inadvertently shoved Cathy to the floor.

Since the scuffle, there has been speculation that the interviewer might get involved in the upcoming Women’s World Championship match at WrestleMania 42, perhaps to seek revenge against Morgan.

While this scenario is quite possible, the creative team should avoid booking the angle at The Showcase of the Immortals. If it is to be booked, WWE should focus on it after the extravaganza.

This is because WrestleMania is about showcasing the prestige of the championship and the athletic skills of the competitors. Involving a non-wrestler, like Cathy Kelley, in such a blockbuster showdown could undermine the seriousness of the bout and make it seem like a joke.

#2. Dominik Mysterio must be kept away from the match by any means

Dominik Mysterio has played a significant role in Liv Morgan’s career for nearly two years. While their pairing has been popular with fans, WrestleMania 42 should be about Morgan proving she can succeed on her own.

The biggest mistake WWE could make is booking Dominik to interfere to help Liv Morgan win. That would quickly undermine Morgan’s momentum and make her look like she can’t attain a significant milestone on her own.

To truly elevate this match, the creative team should find a creative way to keep ‘Dirty’ Dom away from the showdown. Perhaps by banning him from ringside or keeping him busy in his own important match earlier in the night. This way, Stephanie Vaquer and The Miracle Kid can showcase their skills without Dominik’s presence casting a shadow over every moment.

If Liv Morgan wins, it should be because she’s a smart, tactical competitor, and not because Dominik Mysterio helped her.

#1. By keeping it a regular singles match

This is perhaps the most crucial point. Given the animosity between Stephanie Vaquer and Liv Morgan over the past few weeks on Monday Night RAW, the Women’s World Championship match should have a stipulation.

A regular wrestling match with a 10-count and rope breaks might feel too limiting for the story they want to tell. To really create the sense of a big, intense fight, WWE should add a special stipulation. Perhaps a No Holds Barred Match could allow both women to use their brutal strikes against each other.

By including a stipulation like this, WWE could recognize that the two women hate each other so much that a standard match wouldn’t be enough. It would raise the stakes and help make the battle for the title feel like a memorable, epic war rather than just another routine title defense.
