Former AAA star El Cuatrero (Rogelio Reyes) sentenced to prison for attempted femicide against WWE’s Stephanie Vaquer
The former Lucha Libre AAA star was found guilty last week.
Last week, former Lucha Libre AAA star El Cuatrero (Rogelio Reyes) was found guilty of charges against his ex-girlfriend, and WWE star Stephanie Vaquer. The luchador was found guilty of family violence and attempted feminicide.
The sentencing was set for Tuesday, May 12, 2026, and now there is an update on the sentencing. According to Mexican crime journalist Antonio Nieto, who reported the conviction via his X (Twitter) handle, he has now provided an update in the case.
Rogelio Reyes was sentenced to 12 years and eight months.
According to Nieto, Cuatrero has been sentenced to 12 years and 8 months in prison. Cuatrero has already spent around two years in custody while the case moved through the courts, meaning he still has about 10 years and eight months left to serve on his sentence. Nieto also added that for now, the former AAA star will remain free on bail.
“12 years, 8 months SENTENCE to Cuatrero: A judge individualized the penalty this Tuesday to the wrestler, for attempted #feminicidio and family violence against @Steph_Vaquer. It would be 10 years, 8 months for the 2 years that Cuatrero was already confined. For now, he will remain free on bail.”
Stephanie Vaquer filed a complaint against Cuatrero in 2023
The case stems from a March 2, 2023, incident at Stephanie Vaquer’s apartment in Mexico City’s Cuauhtémoc borough. At the time, the former WWE Women’s World Champion was in a relationship with Reyes.
She formally filed a complaint days later and provided photos showing marks on her neck. Prosecutors initially treated the matter as domestic violence, but the Fiscalía Especializada para la Investigación de Delitos de Feminicidio later upgraded the charge to attempted feminicide and continued the case under that classification.
The former AAA star remained in preventive detention for close to two years before securing his release through an amparo on March 7, 2025. He then made his in-ring return in March 2026 on an independent circuit in Mexico.
On the other hand, Vaquer was recently written off Television after an attack by Liv Morgan and the rest of the Judgment Day. Per Fightful Select, the former Women’s World Champion is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future, with no confirmed timeline for her return.
