A new competitive feud in NXT has taken shape in recent weeks as Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan have clashed repeatedly after Jordan concluded her previous rivalry with Jordynne Grace. Vice secured a victory over Izzi Dame in the final NXT episode of 2025, only to be ambushed by Jordan during her celebration.
Following these events, a highly anticipated match was scheduled for the opening segment of the next episode, featuring Vice and Jordan in a contest marked by intensity and strong physical exchanges.

Jordan attempted to clinch the win by pinning Vice while illegally holding the ropes, but the referee caught the foul and nullified the pin attempt. Shortly after, Vice landed a spinning backfist that ended the match in her favor, marking her first NXT win of the year.
