Stephanie Vaquer’s match was cancelled while Chad Gable suffered an injury mid-match.
Stephanie Vaquer and Chad Gable were at the centre of injury concerns following the October 26 episode of WWE Raw. Vaquer was scheduled to face Becky Lynch in a No. 1 Contender’s Match to determine the next challenger for Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
However, the match was called off after the General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Vaquer was medically unable to compete. The development came just days after the former champion had announced that she was cleared to return from an ankle injury suffered at Money in the Bank.
Meanwhile, Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable also appeared to suffer a potential injury during his tag team matches alongside Dragon Lee against Big Cass and Ethan Page. Here’s what is known about both situations following the show.

Stephanie Vaquer injury update
The former Women’s World Champion had been advertised to face Becky Lynch in a No. 1 Contender’s Match, with the winner earning an opportunity to challenge Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship. However, those plans changed when Pearce opened the show by announcing that Vaquer was medically unfit to compete.
The injury originally occurred during the triple threat Women’s World Championship match at Money in the Bank on October 10, where Morgan defeated Vaquer and Lynch to win the title. Reports at the time indicated that the ankle injury was legitimate, although she was not expected to be sidelined for an extended period.
The promotion has not publicly provided a detailed explanation for why Vaquer was unable to compete after announcing her clearance. It is therefore unclear whether she suffered a setback or whether the decision was made for precautionary reasons.
With Vaquer ruled out, Pearce arranged an immediate Women’s World Championship opportunity for Lynch against Morgan in the main event. Lynch appeared close to winning after hitting the Manhandle Slam, but interference from Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez disrupted the finish.
The referee disqualified Morgan after the two interfered with Lynch’s pin attempt. Consequently, Lynch won the match by disqualification, but Morgan retained the Women’s World Championship. Vaquer’s next appearance remains uncertain. The creative team could revisit the planned match against Lynch once she is medically cleared, but no revised date has been announced.
Chad Gable injury update
Chad Gable also became a concern during the October 26 episode after his tag team match with Dragon Lee against Big Cass and Ethan Page. The Intercontinental Champion was involved in a physical contest against the newly formed team, with Page delivering a devastating Ego Plex to Gable on the arena floor.
The move left Gable unable to continue, prompting officials to check on him outside the ring. While the referee and medical personnel attended to the champion, Lee attempted to fight off both opponents.
However, Cass halted his momentum with a big boot, and Page delivered another Ego Plex to secure the victory for their team. The sequence created concern about Gable’s condition, particularly because he had competed in a demanding Triple Threat Match against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee the previous week.
However, there has been no confirmed public report establishing that Gable suffered a legitimate injury during the October 26 match. The scene may have been part of the storyline rather than an indication of a new medical issue.
For now, the latest available information does not confirm an absence or a specific diagnosis for Gable. WWE‘s subsequent plans for the Intercontinental Champion should offer a clearer indication of whether he is fit to continue competing.
