It's a match that many wrestling fans have wanted to see ever since Stephanie Vaquer first signed with WWE, and now the green light has been given.

La Primera had not been cleared to compete on television ever since she dropped her Women's World Championship at Money in the Bank in New Orleans earlier this month.

She suffered a legitimate ankle injury in the loss to Liv Morgan, and although she did return to the ring briefly during a live event in Hawaii, WWE medical would not give her the go ahead to wrestle on Raw. That was until Saturday night.

Stephanie Vaquer took to social media to announce that her ankle is now 100 percent, and that she would see Becky Lynch this coming Monday when WWE Raw emanates from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.

Both La Primera and The Man have their sights set on challenging Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship, presumably after her 2026 Women's Crown Jewel Championship Match against WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green coming up on Saturday, November 7.

It was last Monday night that Lynch suggested they meet in a No. 1 Contender's Match once Vaquer was cleared, and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce wasted little time in making that match official once Stephanie's good health status became public.

This will mark the first time that Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch will face each other in singles competition. The only other time they've ever shared the ring was the aforementioned Money in the Bank Triple Threat Match with Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship.

Only one other match has been booked for this coming Monday, and it's another major one for the women's division. Bayley has been making Lyra Valkyria's life miserable for the past several weeks, and she's finally ready to settle things with her former tag team partner when they meet in a No Disqualification Match.

Oba Femi, Mr. Money in the Bank Penta, Sol Ruca and The Judgment Day are all being advertised for the show locally as well. The Takedown on SI will have more information on the October 26 edition of the flagship show when our WWE Raw preview drops at 6 a.m. ET (3 a.m. PT) this coming Monday morning.
