WWE has announced a major women’s match for the October 26 episode of Monday Night RAW, with Becky Lynch vs. Stephanie Vaquer set to determine the next number one contender for the Women’s Championship. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce confirmed the match on Instagram on October 24, turning a heated social media feud into a high-stakes showdown.
The winner will earn a future shot at the Women’s Championship, giving both women a direct path back into the title picture on Monday night.

Becky Lynch vs Stephanie Vaquer: How The RAW Match Was Made
The trouble started when WWE shared footage of Vaquer announcing she had been medically cleared to return. After spending months recovering from an ankle injury suffered at Money in the Bank, Vaquer tossed her crutches aside and sent a direct message to Lynch, telling her she would see her on Monday.
Lynch did not exactly roll out the welcome mat. Instead, she fired back on social media by predicting Vaquer would be injured again within three weeks of returning — a jab that made it clear she had no interest in celebrating her rival’s recovery. Now she will have to back up those words inside the ring.
Stephanie Vaquer’s Return From Injury
Vaquer has not competed since Money in the Bank, where she lost the Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan and suffered a legitimate ankle injury. She initially believed she would only need a few days of rest, but her absence stretched far longer than expected. Now that she is finally cleared, WWE is wasting no time putting her into a major match.
The stakes could not be much higher for either woman. Vaquer has the chance to get right back into the championship picture after losing her title, while Lynch can secure another title opportunity by defeating someone she just publicly mocked for getting injured. With the trash talk over and the match official, Monday’s RAW has all the ingredients for an ugly showdown — and one of them is leaving with a shot at the Women’s Championship.
