In this interview Stephanie Vaquer talks about her excitement for Crown Jewel and her respect for the women’s division in WWE: “This match is a big challenge because Tiffany is really good. She’s been champion for a long time, and I’m excited for this match. The Crown Jewel Championship is my next goal. I think everyone in the WWE Women’s Division is amazing. But I really want to wrestle Rhea Ripley. She’s amazing. She’s amazing and I love her because she is amazing person too. I always watched her on TV and said she’s amazing, but now I know she’s amazing person too. She has a really nice style and she has a really big experience in WWE, so I I’m sure I’d learn a lot about her if we had a match.”
