      And it's vice versa too.
      They have no problem with what Steph did (because she's came to WWE), but still give Mercedes shit for it. Not Naomi as much because she 'came back home' all is forgiven... just look at Punk, got 💩 while in AEW (from WWE diehards. Called him every negative thing in the book) came back to WWE all is well.
      ... 'fans' can be weird.

      And Mercedes & Naomi (don't forget she was left too) walked before Raw went on the air. From what I've read it was at least an hour before they went on air. They (WWE) still advertised the match just to make them look like they walked on the fans and put them in a bad light. Same company that falsed advertised a BUNCH of times. If I remember correctly, less then 2 weeks after they walked WWE false advertised a Bayley vs Shotzi match.

    Great take by Thunder Rosa! Opportunities come once in a lifetime and Stephanie took it. We're not privy to the conversations and experiences she had from her previous employer, but she has her reasons not to continue her obligations because of the WWE offer and that's her problem to deal with. For me, it's all about taking the risk to achieving that dream, and good people that she meets soon will help her achieve that.

      It’s not about loyalty. And a regular job is not wrestling. She was contracted to work shows for CMLL, NJPW and RevPro. This is a small niche industry you try not to burn bridges in. And the strange this is she didn’t have to. WWE usually lets people finish out their dates. Not sure why she did that.

    It's an absolute no-brainer. She's someone who came from little, had a dream, and she busted her ass until she got an offer from WWE. Obviously, whatever contract or agreement she had allowed for her to go to WWE. It's not like they are filing a lawsuit with WWE about it. So, that tells me that it was more of a handshake agreement, which means she had no guarantees. That vs. a guaranteed contract from WWE? Come on. Any critics need to shut up.

And you guys are pissed off because she used that platform in which she obviously looked like the superior wrestler by the way, and Wwe was impressed enough to then go sign her?

    Call Asa Spade for crying out loud already: Wwe is the big time and the major league of professional wrestling. And young talents, who have never wrestled there yet, that is their ultimate goal.

      ​​@@kazkaze2456my dude gets it!!! Giulia is one of the most overrated wrestlers today. I always saw as there are way more ppl better in Stardom than her then she's better then.
      She had the pleasure of working with ppl head & shoulders better than her in Japan. And they shined her up good to where fans (some) were giving her goat status LOL.
      She hides behind so many bells & whistles. It's like she can't work a match with having some outside the ring spot where she Piledrives her opponent through a table or someone gets tossed into the crowd into the seats.
      Goofy ass over doing it on bumping (look up HBK vs Hogan at SummerSlam).
      Same routine/ pattern to her matches.
      If your a how many wrestling moves you can do type of fan: then she ain't for you. SOS Same ol' 💩
      Highest compliment I can give her is: she's somewhat competent in the ring and throws a good forearm to the chest & face.
      Most of these ppl are thinking with the the head behind the zipper than rather the one on their head... if ya know what I mean. If she were buck tooth with a muffin top and a lazy eye, no one would pay her no mind. She's an exotic looking woman. It's amazing what a good face (looks) card can do for someone.
      They'll tell you she has 'aura' and 'good look' (same with Jade) so she should be pushed or main priority... well 💩 then they should push Omos or Jinder when he was around. It don't work that way for dudes, so it shouldn't be that way with women either.

AEW is great but WWE is still the biggest ticket so I’m super excited and supportive of Stephanie Vaquer coming over. I’d only seen her wrestle once on AEW and I was sold. I hope Jordynn Grace makes the same move asap- the greatest heights come from WWE if you’re successful there.
