Vaquer competed at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where she lost the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship to Mercedes Moné. Despite the loss, the high-profile match put Vaquer on a big platform, as she was introduced to many new viewers. Some fans wondered whether she could potentially sign with AEW or WWE on the back of her impressive performance.

Record Mexico then reported that, according to a source close to the negotiations, Vaquer would be joining WWE on a multi-year contract. The report noted that AEW and WWE presented their best offers to Vaquer.
