WWE Superstar Stephanie Vaquer Is a Lifelong Metalhead

Stephanie Vaquer is one of us! The Chilean WWE Superstar, who emerged a favorite amongst wrestling fans during her landmark champ-champ reign on NXT, is a lifelong metalhead.

It’s no surprise that Vaquer has been influenced by metal — her ‘Dark Angel’ gear and Devil Horns crown immediately caught the eye of fans when she made her Royal Rumble debut in 2025. Packaged perfectly with a heavy entrance theme, Vaquer immediately stole the hearts of metalhead wrestling fans around the globe.

Vaquer spoke about her love of metal while guesting on AEW star Thunder Rosa’s YouTube channel. “I listen to everything. Oh, I know everyone says the same thing, but I actually do listen to everything because I like it,” Vaquer began. “I think my favorite genre will always be metal.”

When Rosa asked Vaquer to name her favorite band, ‘La Primera’ responded immediately — “Iron Maiden.” And Vaquer’s favorite Iron Maiden song? “Wasted Years.”

Though her reign as NXT Women’s Champion has come to an end, Vaquer has been officially called up to the main roster and is expected to begin her RAW journey on June 2.
