Stephanie Vaquer Says She Wants More Chilean Talent In WWE

Stephanie Vaquer represents her country of Chile in WWE, and she says she would love to see more Chilean representation there. Vaquer recaptured the Women’s World Championship in her home country on WWE’s South American tour over the weekend. During the tour, WWE held a tryout in Santiago, Chile and several talent from the country took part.

Vaquer spoke with Lajunta+ for a new interview and during the conversation, she weighed in on the tryout and the chance to see more Chilean talent in WWE. You can see highlights below (h/t to Fightful for the transcription and translation):

On Wanting More Chilean Talent in WWE:

“I always say, ‘I’m La Primera, but I don’t want to be the only one.’ I am very proud because there are many Chileans who were in the tryout, wishing them the best of the successes, but I always want more Chileans in WWE. Barriers have been broken, doors are being opened and the idea is there should be more attention paid in Chile because there is a lot of wrestling talent coming through.”

On Some Chile’s Breakout Talents:

“I don’t know if I’m the right one to say “este cabrón es bueno” (chuckles), but I’m proud of, for example, Roma. She is my friend, she was in the Tryout, I wish her the best always. There are so many Chilean female representatives in the world. Akari is in Japan doing an incredible job. Maybe now, being in WWE, I have more spotlight, but there really is a lot of Chilean talent in the world. I can name you Taylor Wolf, he’s been wrestling here for many years and now he is becoming more professional, he can already be a teacher. There are many names and a lot of talent in Chile that needs to develop a little more, but now people are already starting to see it.”
