Lola Vice receives emotional farewell after NXT goes off the air
Vice challenged Kendal Grey for the NXT Women’s Championship in the night’s main event under NXT Underground rules.
Despite entering the contest undefeated in NXT Underground matches, Vice was unable to reclaim the championship as Grey ended her impressive streak with a hard-fought submission victory.
The former champion showed respect immediately after the match by raising Grey’s hand, bringing a fitting end to an intense title showdown. The emotional moments continued once the cameras stopped rolling.
According to those in attendance, Vice addressed the fans inside the WWE Performance Center, thanking them for their support throughout her NXT journey. She also left her gloves in the ring, a gesture that often symbolizes the end of a chapter in a wrestler’s career.

While WWE has yet to officially confirm her next destination, reports indicate that Vice is expected to join the SmackDown roster in the near future.
