Stephanie Vaquer has become one of the most eye-catching wrestlers today, not only for her talent in the ring, but also for the moves and details that have defined her identity. In a conversation with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, the Chilean wrestler explained the origin of the Devil's Kiss, her most recognized maneuver, and also shared how she defended her entrance music when she was called up to WWE Raw.

Regarding the Devil's Kiss, a variation where she traps her opponent's head with scissors and slams their head onto the mat by moving her body up and down, Vaquer confessed that it all started from a mistake during training.

It was an accident. I was trying something with my trainer and the position changed. I liked it because it doesn't hurt the neck like a DDT, so I decided to keep it. At first, many in Mexico told me it looked weird and not to do it, but I persisted. Now look at it, it's a great move.

The move gained even more notoriety thanks to the reactions of Booker T on commentary, who turned each execution into an even more captivating moment for the audience. Interestingly, Booker T will be back to call one of Vaquer's matches this Tuesday on NXT Homecoming, teaming up with Rhea Ripley and Lyra Valkyria against Fatal Influence.

 

The wrestler also revealed another key moment in her Raw debut: WWE had plans to change her entrance music. However, Vaquer stood her ground and spoke directly to Shawn Michaels: "I told him: 'Shawn, please, I love my music, I don't want it changed'. He replied: 'Let me see what I can do'. And in the end, I was able to keep it."

Vaquer emphasized the importance of music in connecting with the fans and reinforcing her style in the ring. "My theme is part of my character and who I am. The fans feel the same way, and I didn't want to lose that," she pointed out. A demonstration of how, even within WWE, she knew how to defend what makes her unique.
