WWE Women’s World Champion
Stephanie Vaquer just flipped the entire WWE script tonight. In a massive surprise at Saturday’s untelevised live event in Santiago, Chile, the hometown hero pinned Liv Morgan to become the new WWE Women’s World Champion. Title changes at house shows are incredibly rare, making this sudden victory a truly historic, unforgettable moment for the rising Chilean superstar.
Lynch Counts the Pin
Fans inside the Movistar Arena witnessed absolute magic. Becky Lynch stepped in as the special guest referee, sent by General Manager Adam Pearce to keep order. Morgan had just retained the belt days earlier on “WWE Raw” thanks to blatant interference from Judgement Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. This time, Lynch kept the playing field completely level. She even stopped counting a Morgan pinfall attempt midway through the chaotic bout. Eventually, Vaquer nailed her signature corkscrew moonsault. Lynch slapped the mat for the three-count, ending Morgan’s 147-day reign and raising Vaquer’s hand in a heartfelt post-match embrace.
A Long Road Back
This massive win officially kicks off Vaquer’s highly anticipated second stint as WWE Women’s World Champion. She originally lost the prestigious gold to Morgan at WrestleMania 42 back in May. At the time, heavy rumors swirled about Vaquer secretly dealing with a severe high ankle sprain. Taking time off clearly worked wonders for her health. Fully healed, she capitalized on the Santiago rematch to instantly reclaim the throne she initially captured at Crown Jewel 2025.
Breaking WWE Tradition
You rarely see a major championship change hands off television. In fact, this marks the very first WWE live event title change since Andrade beat Rey Mysterio at Madison Square Garden in late 2019. WWE quickly verified the amazing Santiago shocker on their official social media channels. The historic card also featured Chad Gable retaining his Intercontinental Championship against Ethan Page, Penta, and Dragon Lee. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins, LA Knight, and Solo Sikoa toppled The Usos and Jacob Fatu in a truly massive six-man tag team clash.
