Lola Vice discusses the merger between WWE and UFC.
In September, WWE and UFC officially merged to form TKO. A number of competitors in WWE have experience in the MMA world, including NXT's Lola Vice. Before she signed with WWE, she fought for Bellator MMA.
Speaking with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald, Lola Vice was asked to share her thoughts on the WWE/UFC merger.
“My thought is, like my life is crazy. There’s a destiny for me, and everything lands into place at certain times. So of course, I sign with WWE, I’m in developmental for a while, and then we sign with TKO, and I have that whole fanbase. I fought for Bellator, I truly was a fighter and know that market. So for me, it’s like, wow, what a better time for Lola Vice to be with TKO, cross-promote, and that’s also my world, and now this is my world, and everything came together. I’m like, this is amazing," Vice said.
Vice was then asked whether she would be open to doing something with UFC, given WWE's place in TKo. She emphasized that she is committed to being the best WWE star she can be, but she noted that she would be open to it.
“I have mixed thoughts about that because right now, I’m very committed to being the best wrestler or superstar in the history of WWE. I’m a big believer that you have to stick to one path and commit to that, and you can’t really do two, three, four, and then just be okay in all of them. If I’m gonna do something, I’m gonna be the best at it. Maybe that’s in my cards in a while, if Hunter wants me to do it. Whoever my boss is, I will do what they want, and of course, I’ll be open to it. I love fighting. But right now, I’m completely dedicated to the WWE, and that’s my only goal," Vice said.
