Lola Vice is reportedly facing a serious setback after sustaining a hand injury during ongoing events on WWE NXT. The injury, aggravated in recent matches, now threatens to sideline her for up to six months, putting her participation in key upcoming events at risk.
Vice’s injury occurred amid a heated feud with Kelani Jordan. After Kelani Jordan slammed a ladder onto Lola’s hand weeks ago, Vice re-injured it in the following week. Despite the pain, Lola still competed against Jordan on the February 17 episode of NXT but lost the match. Following the defeat, she issued a challenge for an Underground match against Jordan at the forthcoming Vengeance Day event.
During a recent medical examination shown on WWE NXT, the doctor warned Vice that aggravating the injury further could lead to a prolonged absence of six months. The NXT competitor was visibly distressed as she acknowledged missing such a long period would endanger her chances of appearing at Stand & Deliver. To continue competing, Lola signed a waiver releasing NXT from liability for any worsening of her injury.
Kelani Jordan’s Preparations for the Upcoming Underground Match
Kelani Jordan, a fellow rising talent in NXT and Vice’s rival, is intensifying her preparations for their Underground match at Vengeance Day. Previously, Jordan made Vice submit in earlier encounters, but the unique style of the Underground match aligns more closely with Lola Vice’s mixed martial arts background, presenting a new challenge.
To gain an edge, Jordan recently trained under former Women’s North American Champion Shayna Baszler, who has experience facing Lola Vice in this match format and possesses extensive wrestling and MMA expertise. This training aims to equip Jordan with the skills necessary to counter Vice’s strengths and secure a victory.
Jordan’s dedication to her preparation highlights the high stakes of their upcoming encounter, although only time will reveal how this efforts will influence the outcome at Vengeance Day.
Implications for WWE and Future Events
Lola Vice’s potential six-month absence raises concerns about WWE’s event planning and match lineups, especially with major shows like Stand & Deliver approaching. Her injury could lead to adjustments in scheduling or match cards, and the strain placed on performers underscores the risks involved in WWE’s physically demanding environment.
Meanwhile, the rivalry between Vice and Jordan remains a focal storyline, with the Underground match at Vengeance Day expected to be a decisive chapter. Fans and WWE officials alike will be watching closely how this contest unfolds and what it means for the careers of both athletes.
