Lola Vice is not lacking confidence.
Lola Vice won the 2023 NXT Women's Breakout tournament at NXT Halloween Havoc, defeating Kelani Jordan in the finals. Winning the tournament sets up Vice for a big future and shows that the company is behind her.
Speaking to Booker T on his Hall of Fame podcast, Lola explained why her work ethic is going to bring her success in WWE.
"I speak that way because I know my work ethic matches my words. A lot of people say they are going to be the best, but they don't put in the work. I do that. I know every time I step into the ring, I'm confident because I'm extremely prepared, more than anyone else. A big part of this business is being reliable, being able to perform at all times, being able to adapt, and I think everything my life has thrown at me, I've been able to overcome it. I actually perform better under pressure, under the big lights. In MMA, my first professional debut, and people don't understand this, I was 20 years old and my professional debut was in the Mohegan Sun Arena, pay-per-view, no shin guards for the first time in my life. First round knockout. My second fight in MMA was in Madison Square Garden. This is something that I know, if I put in the work, as soon as I get there, I'm going to perform. Here in WWE, it's no different. Every time I go in there, I give it 100%, my work ethic...I'm there every single day, I still haven't taken a day off, I haven't taken a vacation, I'm completely committed to this and I am going to be the best female sports entertainer in the history of WWE," she stated.
Vice's real name is Valerie Loureda, and she competed for Bellator before signing with WWE.
She went 4-1 in her MMA career.
