One week after successfully defending both NXT Women’s Championships, Stephanie Vaquer was forced to relinquish one of the titles this evening.
This week’s episode of WWE NXT kicked off with General Manager Ava in the ring with double champion Stephanie Vaquer. Ava declared that the NXT Women’s division needed to keep its focus on both titles and to do so, Vaquer needed to relinquish the Women’s North American Championship.

Vaquer agreed to relinquish the championship as long as she could pick her opponent to defend her NXT Women’s Championship against at Stand & Deliver during WrestleMania weekend.
This led to both Jordynne Grace and Jaida Parker coming out to ringside, both trying to lay claim to this title shot. Vaquer told the two women they needed to figure things out, which led to a brawl between Grace and Parker.

The vacant Women’s North American Championship will be up for grabs in a six-way ladder match later this month at NXT Stand & Deliver.
