Why Stephanie Vaquer won the history-making match instead of Giulia

Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer both made their NXT debuts at around the same time. Both women initially started feuding with Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez. It looked like they would both go after the NXT Women's Championship. However, they went their separate ways.

Vaquer went on to win the NXT Women's North American Championship at Vengeance Day while Giulia won the Women's Title at New Year's Evil. Following this, Giulia challenged Vaquer to a title vs. title match at Roadblock. However, it was La Primera who emerged victorious from the match to become a women's double champion in NXT.

According to recent reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Giulia was banged up and was given some time off, which is why Vaquer was chosen to win the match and make history. However, she was in Bartow, Florida, and did a backstage interview to set up a storyline rivalry with Cora Jade.

It will be interesting to see when Giulia will return to the ring.
