Lola Vice is steadily advancing within the WWE system through her active roles in NXT and AAA, highlighted by her recent participation in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match in February. Her focus on growth and preparation is evident, and she attributes key parts of her WWE progression to her work in AAA and guidance from Undertaker in his role as AAA’s Executive Producer.
How AAA Experience Prepares Lola Vice for WWE’s Main Roster
Competing in AAA has provided Lola Vice with invaluable opportunities to develop her wrestling skills, particularly through working with a talented and hardworking female roster. She explained how leading matches in AAA has pushed her to grow, noting the unique challenge of calling spots in Spanish despite being bilingual.
Unlike NXT, which hosts smaller studio audiences of around 500, AAA events regularly draw crowds of about 10,000 fans, all sold out. Lola observes that performing in front of such large audiences and responding to their energy has been critical in honing her in-ring presence and adaptability. Her recent experience at the Royal Rumble in front of nearly 20,000 fans further confirmed that these big-stage performances are preparing her for an eventual main roster call-up.
Impact of Undertaker’s Leadership on Lola Vice’s Wrestling Journey
Lola Vice expressed admiration for Undertaker’s role as AAA’s Executive Producer and the considerable influence he has had on her career. She described the surreal nature of having a wrestling legend like him as a supervisor and mentor backstage. Undertaker dedicates hours in the ring to advise and train talent, sharing insights and demonstrating techniques that benefit the entire roster.
She credits Undertaker’s arrival in Mexico with introducing a new standard of professionalism and discipline among the performers, noting his firm but effective approach to guiding talent toward the WWE style.
“He came in at a time where it was a change for a lot of the talent over there and he’s had to put his foot down and just be different with the talent and show them the WWE way,”
she said.
Lola also highlighted the collaborative system they’ve developed during rehearsals, where Undertaker speaks in English, and she translates into Spanish for others on the team. This communication strengthens the show’s overall quality, which she feels responsible for regardless of whether she is personally featured in a match.
She sees this environment not only as a chance to improve in her own matches but also to learn about different match psychology and backstage work, which enriches her understanding of the craft and prepares her for multiple facets of the wrestling business.
“Well, like working with those women over there that are so talented and work so hard, so hard. And I’m so glad they have spotlight now with the WWE because they deserve it. But working with those women, you know, has forced me to grow as a wrestler because I’ve been put in positions to lead, you know, and even though I do speak Spanish and I’m bilingual, calling spots in Spanish is different…I’ve been put in positions to have to grow and you know have to adapt on the fly…the crowd over there another thing is every time I go to Mexico it’s at least 10,000 people in the audience and it’s always completely sold out versus NXT on Tuesdays, we have a studio of I think like 500 people but every time I go to Mexico and I film a taping it’s (in front of) 10,000 people so I think being in front of a stage like that constantly and being able to listen to crowd reactions has also given me the experience to get better and like (Royal Rumble) I think it was like 20,000 people and I think being on these big stages and doing them now with my eyes closed like it’s like
“Oh okay, this is really getting me ready for the main roster one day in a different way.”

“Oh my god, Undertaker. First of all, I still can’t believe he’s my boss over there. That’s first of all, but look, I really admire him and, you know, hearing his advice and the way he thinks and also like the way he spends time with us in the ring, he will spend four or five hours in that ring helping the talent and um just giving us advice and even showing us like
“you’ll get in there, he’ll move. I admire him so much and I’ve learned so much from him and I’m so grateful he’s my boss and I’m so grateful he believes in me and trusts me and um you know, I have a title now, thankful to him. Truthfully, like I’ve gotten close to Undertaker and I think the work he’s doing in Mexico is phenomenal and it’s a lot. He came in at a time where it was a change for a lot of the talent over there and he’s had to put his foot down and just be different with the talent and show them the WWE way.”

“I can’t believe he’s in my rehearsals…You know, and it’s like he’ll tell me in English and I’ll translate it in Spanish and we have a good little system going there. It works…Even if it’s not my match I’m the type of talent that it’s like I want my show to be great no matter if it’s my match or whose match. So, I’m going to try my best um to do the most I can for everybody. But it’s really funny. I have a good time. And it’s put me in positions to like learn other matches too and the way they do things and learn different psychology and just grow in every way because the more you know behind the scenes the more it helps you in the ring.”
