Stephanie Vaquer may have walked out of WWE Crown Jewel 2025 with championship gold, but backstage reaction and expert reviews say the match didnâ€t deliver the energy fans expected.

During the October 12, 2025 episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez broke down Vaquerâ€s match against Tiffany Stratton, which crowned the Womenâ€s Crown Jewel Champion. While Vaquer won clean with a twisting moonsault and delivered an emotional post-match promo, Meltzer wasnâ€t impressed with the overall presentation.

According to Alvarez, the match ran just ten minutes — the shortest of the night — and failed to get the live crowd truly invested.

“So we had Stephanie and Tiffany for the Womenâ€s Crown Jewel title. And this was the shortest match of the show by half of the second-shortest — ten-minute match. And for ten minutes, I thought they did a good job. It was kind of a no-heat…â€

Meltzer cut in to point out the only moment where fans reacted:

“There was no heat until the Devilâ€s Kiss. They popped for the Devilâ€s Kiss. They popped for nothing else. And then they went right to the finish from the Devilâ€s Kiss.â€

He added that the match followed one of the hottest crowd reactions of the night, which made things worse:

“I thought it was very underwhelming… from what I was told, this was the match that people kind of took as the bathroom break match.â€

Alvarez recapped the finish in detail, describing how Vaquer countered Tiffanyâ€s moves and hit her signature cradle backbreaker before landing the twisting moonsault for the pin. After the win, Vaquer got emotional, crying in the ring and delivering a heartfelt promo in English.

“‘Tonight we made history together. This represents the motivation, support, and love youâ€ve all given me. I followed my dreams, and now I believe in myself.†And everybody cheers.â€

Triple H even came out afterward to hug Vaquer in a feel-good moment, but Meltzer still felt the overall presentation fell short:

“It was certainly not fine. It was just there. I didnâ€t think that either of them did anything particularly wrong. It just was ten minutes. It didnâ€t really have time to build. And the crowd wasnâ€t into it… other than that one move—which they really popped for.â€

Stephanie Vaquer is undeniably on the rise in WWE, but the Crown Jewel match didnâ€t connect with the audience the way many hoped. Still, her journey from international star to WWE gold continues — and thereâ€s no doubt more spotlight is coming.
