Stephanie Vaquer details sleeping in a kitchen early in her career

Stephanie Vaquer's road to success wasn't an easy one. She grinded on the Indies for several years. She even competed for AEW before arriving in the Stamford-based promotion.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, La Primera recalled sleeping on the floor of a restaurant after suffering an orbital bone injury early in her career.

"I worked in a restaurant, and I talked with a boss and said, Can I sleep in the kitchen? And he said yes. I slept in the kitchen for almost six months, and recovery and waiting for my bone to finally heal and start training again. So really hard time in my life," she said.

It looks like all that hard work and sacrifice paid off for La Primera.
