Injury updates on Stephanie Vaquer & Talla Tonga
Editor’s note: This originally appeared in our members only section.
There are updates on both Stephanie Vaquer and Talla Tonga, courtesy of our Bryan Alvarez.
Vaquer was taken out backstage on Monday’s WWE Raw by Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Perez rammed a equipment box into Vaquer’s shoulder. and it was later stated by Michael Cole that Vaquer sustained a second degree AC sprain due to the attack and “would be out for a bit.”
Alvarez said the injury is legitimate and is likely the sprain they reference last night. It’s unclear where the injury was first sustained.
Vaquer last wrestled at WrestleMania 42 in a losing effort to Liv Morgan.
*******************
Tonga has been out of action since the April 17 SmackDown when he was in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. His absence on last Friday’s SmackDown brought into question whether he had been released given the day’s cuts since he wasn’t mentioned on the show.
Alvarez said Tonga is out with an undisclosed injury, but is expected back fairly soon.
