Lola Vice On Winning the Women’s NXT Breakout Tournament, Making It In WWE

Lola Vice won the 2023 women’s NXT Breakout Tournament, and she recently weighed in on her win and more. Vice spoke with Jim Varsallone about her win and her rise in NXT, and you can see some highlights below (per Fightful):

On defeating Kelani Jordan in the finals: “I knew I was going up against a tough competitor. Kelani has a very high-level gymnastics background, and I’m more of a shoot-fight style. That’s what I came from. So I knew it was gonna be a challenge, and I know that Lola doesn’t fear anyone, and Lola never backs down, and I knew I was gonna be able to get the win.”

On her rise in NXT: “Ever since I was a little girl, I always had a vision, and I had a dream for myself. I knew it was gonna never with martial arts, and when I started fighting in the cage, I said, ‘This is an opportunity for my family, yo get them out, but also, one day, hopefully the WWE will recognize me.’ Every time I was fighting, I wasn’t just doing it for myself. I had developed a brand, I showed my character in the ring. I would show them my potential until I finally got this call. So for me to win this breakout tournament, it means everything to me because I proved to myself I’m the superstar I know I can be, and also I was able to represent young Latina women, and all of Miami, and I’ve always been the Miami fighter in the cage, and now I’m the Miami breakout star for the WWE, and I can’t believe it. But I can believe it because my work ethic always prevails, and the world’s gonna see, and this is just the beginning.”
