Stephanie Vaquer Relinquishes NXT Women’s North American Title & New Champion Set to Be Crowned at Stand & Deliver 2025
Tuesday’s WWE NXT show at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida featured Stephanie Vaquer officially relinquishing her NXT Women’s North American Championship.
During the show, current NXT Women’s Champion and NXT Women’s North American Champion Vaquer came out to the ring with NXT GM Ava waiting for her. Ava talked about Vaquer walking out victorious last week as double champion, it showed what kind of superstar she is. Ava then stated that both titles deserve to be defended frequently and it is not fair for Vaquer to do it alone. Ava stated that they have come to the decision that Vaquer will relinquish her Women’s North American title.
Ava then stated that a new champion will be crowned in a Ladder match at this month’s NXT Stand & Deliver 2025 and qualifier matches will be taking place starting tonight to determine the official challengers.

This led to Vaquer responding about this not being a popular decision and after some more words, Vaquer asked Ava if she could pick her challenger for her NXT Women’s title match at Stand & Deliver. Before Vaquer could reveal who it would be, Jordynne Grace’s music played to interrupt and came out to the ring. After some words by Grace, Jaida Parker’s music played to interrupt and Parker came out to the ring as well. After some back-and-forth banter over who was more deserving to get the title shot, Vaquer gave a grin and stated that they need to work this out, which led to a brawl breaking out that ended with Grace sending Parker over the ropes and followed it by yeeting a security guard out of the ring as well.
Thanks for coming! 😅@JordynneGrace #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/WWTcsjihua
