In a rare occurrence, a WWE world title has changed hands at a live event. Stephanie Vaquer is once again the WWE Women’s World Champion.
In a surprising title change that took place away from television, Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan at a WWE live event in Santiago, Chile on Saturday, September 12. The championship bout was especially significant for Vaquer as it took place in front of her home country crowd, with Becky Lynch serving as the special guest referee.
Morgan appeared to have the match won after connecting with Oblivion and covering Vaquer for the pinfall. However, Lynch refused to complete the three-count and instead directed a pair of middle fingers toward the champion, drawing a strong reaction from the audience.
An angry Morgan then turned her attention to Lynch, but the distraction proved costly. Vaquer capitalized with a superkick before delivering her SVB finisher. She followed up with the Vaquer Inferno, a corkscrew moonsault, to score the victory and capture the WWE Women’s World Championship.
The win marks Vaquer’s second reign with the title. Her previous championship run lasted seven months before Morgan defeated her at WrestleMania 42 in April 2026. Morgan had successfully retained the championship against Vaquer in a rematch on Raw just days earlier.
Following the title victory, Vaquer celebrated with the Santiago crowd as fellow WWE stars Sol Ruca, IYO SKY, and Bayley joined her at ringside. SKY lifted the new champion onto her shoulders while Bayley later shared a backstage photo featuring the Chilean flag, reflecting on the special moment.
Morgan’s latest reign comes to an end after 147 days as champion. WWE has not yet announced whether she will receive an immediate rematch for the title.
The championship change is notable given how rarely WWE world titles switch hands at non-televised live events, making Vaquer’s homecoming victory one of the most memorable moments of the year.
