Stephanie Vaquer’s Devil’s Kiss: Cheat Code or Internet Obsession?
Is Stephanie Vaquer’s Devil’s Kiss a Cheat Code? The Internet Can’t Stop Talking About It and We’ve Got Reciepts!
As of December 29, 2025, Stephanie Vaquer is still reigning supreme as Women’s World Champion on Raw. She retained at Survivor Series against Nikki Bella, picked up the WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship earlier this year, and has been on an absolute tear since her NXT double-champ days (first woman to hold both the NXT Women’s and North American titles at the same time).
Tonight, on the final Raw of 2025, she’s defending in a high-stakes triple-threat against Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez. La Primera is building one of the hottest runs of 2025 — but let’s be honest… a huge chunk of the online buzz isn’t just about her titles.
It’s about the move.
The Move That Broke the Internet: Devil’s Kiss
Vaquer’s signature — a headscissors trap, lift, and repeated face-first slams to the mat — got officially dubbed “Devil’s Kiss” by NXT head coach Matt Bloom early in her WWE run. It exploded in popularity fast. Booker T’s iconic “Ah! Ah! Ah!” commentary reactions became meme gold (she even said she misses them on Raw).
The move made it into WWE 2K25 as DLC, went viral with spots like the ladder-assisted version on Rhea Ripley at Money in the Bank, and even drew a cheeky tweet from Scott Steiner (“seems like something the Big Bad Booty Daddy would do… just not in the ring”).
And the execution looks brutal thanks to her compact, muscular 5’3” build:
The “Cheat Code” Discourse: Talent vs. Thirst
Social media is flooded with takes. Fans joke that the crowd only wakes up when the “physics” kick in during the slams — threads call it a “pop generator,” with comments like “zero reaction until the bounce starts” or “that’s the real finisher.” Thirst content is everywhere, and the back angles keep feeding the algorithm.
Haters say it overshadows her elite skills, but defenders fire back: it’s over because it works. In a loaded division (Rhea, Becky, Iyo, Giulia), anything that draws genuine reactions is money. Vaquer leans into it — counting down with the crowd, pointing at commentators, milking every slam.
Is it a cheat code? In the Netflix era of WWE, where visuals, charisma, and workrate all collide — 100% yes. It gets replays, social clips, and eyes on her matches. But it doesn’t erase the resume: history-making first Chilean/South American champ, viral MITB spot, consistent bangers, and a reign that’s looking strong into 2026.
Final Verdict
Talent > Assets? Or Assets > Talent? It’s both. Vaquer’s a global vet with technical wizardry, hard strikes, and that confident dark edge — but the Devil’s Kiss (and the undeniable visual hook) is the spark that turned her into an overnight must-watch star.
Wrestling’s always had that layered appeal, and right now, it’s working perfectly for La Primera.
