Lola Vice recently expressed deep admiration for Jacy Jayne’s role as an NXT locker room leader during a conversation on the No Contest Wrestling podcast.

Speaking about her relationships backstage, Vice mentioned close friendships with Kelani Jordan alongside her respect for Jayne’s dedication and example-setting. She said,
“I have my friends there. Kelani [Jordan] and I — like, I love her and we’re really good friends,”
and added,
“Jacy could be a b*tch sometimes, she can. But I will say, she’s a locker room leader. She leads by example. She’s an extremely hard-working person. She never complains. She’s incredible at her job. She’s taught me a lot. And I feel like Jacy, also, she’s one of the best women’s strikers we have in wrestling that has never had a striking background before.”
