Stephanie Vaquer made history on March 11, 2025, at WWE NXT Roadblock held at the historic Madison Square Garden, where she faced off against Giulia for the NXT Women’s Championship and successfully defended her NXT Women’s North American Championship, leading to her crowning as the first-ever double champion of both titles.
This monumental event, which was heavily promoted as the "biggest women’s match in NXT history," saw Vaquer and Giulia, both established names within the WWE circle, compete vigorously for supremacy. The stakes were high, as both women aimed to solidify their legacies within the highly respected NXT women’s division. It was announced during the lead-up to the match, when Giulia called out Vaquer, challenging her to a title vs. title match. It took the wrestling community by storm, building hype around their clash.
The match began with both women showcasing their technical prowess and effective strategies. They started cautiously, displaying their familiarity with each other’s fighting styles. Giulia and Vaquer, who began their WWE journeys as friends, engaged not only through powerful moves but also via mind games, knowing they had both trained together and helped one another develop their skills.
Throughout the match, the crowd was on the edge of their seats, witnessing incredible high spots. Giulia attempted to assert her dominance early, executing strategic moves to use her experience against the younger Vaquer. Yet, Vaquer showed remarkable resilience—especially impressive considering the pressure of the title match atmosphere.
Despite the back-and-forth nature of their exchanges, it was Vaquer who pulled away for the win, needing to deliver not one, but three SBB (Super Backbreakers) to finally pin Giulia for the victory. Her undeniable grit and powerful performance allowed her to secure the new NXT Women’s Championship, and with it, she retained her Women’s North American Championship.
Commentary highlighted the significance of Vaquer’s win. “We’ve got ourselves a DOUBLE CHAMPION!” declared WWE, emphasizing her achievement as remarkable within WWE history. This victory marked not only Vaquer’s first reign as NXT Women’s Champion but also made her the first woman to hold both championships concurrently since Becky Lynch did so back in 2019.
Giulia’s reign ended at 63 days, during which she achieved one successful title defense. This match, being her last for the foreseeable future, came at a cost. Reports from several wrestling insiders, including Mike Johnson of PWInsider, outlined how Giulia had been dealing with multiple injuries prior to the match. Though not classified as “major,” they clearly affected her performance, prompting NXT officials to allow her to take time off for recovery after losing her title. There is no word yet on when she might return to the ring, but her competitive spirit remains intact as she gears up for recovery.
Stephanie Vaquer's victory and her new dual-champion status brings numerous opportunities for her future as champions are often expected to face various challengers. Fans can anticipate challengers from within the strong NXT Women’s Division, as many women have their eyes set on Vaquer and both of her newly acquired titles.
The wrestling world will now look forward to NXT Stand & Deliver, scheduled for WrestleMania 41 Weekend, where it’s anticipated Giulia may return for the rematch fans are already clamoring for between her and Vaquer. Should WWE present such a bout, it’s sure to keep audiences engaged and invested, building the excitement around women’s wrestling even higher.
Overall, Stephanie Vaquer's tremendous performance at NXT Roadblock not only crowned her as the double champion but also showcased the growth and depth of the women’s division within NXT. This match—a battle quite literally for the ages—stands as proof of the significant strides women’s wrestling has made under the WWE banner.
