Lola Vice, the real-life partner of Damian Priest, delivered one of the most impressive wins of her career during the NXT Vengeance Day event. Known for her dominance in the NXT Underground matches, Vice maintained her undefeated streak by knocking out Kelani Jordan, a top WWE prospect and former NXT Women’s North American Champion. This knockout not only raised Lola Vice’s profile but also highlighted her reputation as one of the fiercest competitors in the WWE scene.
Rivalry Set by Backgrounds and Pre-match Tensions
The match pitted Vice against Kelani Jordan, who is closely linked to Carmelo Hayes and recognized as one of WWE’s brightest future stars. Jordan, who also held the TNA Knockouts Championship, entered the match confident in her ability to force Vice to submit—the only wrestler to have previously made Vice tap out in WWE. Vice, a former MMA fighter with a tough, authentic fighting style, had previously defeated Shayna Baszler in the same Underground match format. Kelani Jordan, having trained with Baszler in preparation, perhaps underestimated Vice’s skill and tenacity.
Unexpected Provocation Leads to Swift Knockout
Before the match started, Jordan took a risky move by mocking Lola Vice’s father, a moment that appeared to disrupt her focus. Taking advantage, Vice delivered a powerful spinning backfist that ended the contest decisively. The knockout was notably brutal and left a strong impact on the audience, as well as marking a significant setback for Jordan’s momentum as a top contender.
Impact on WWE Women’s Division Prospects
This outcome serves as a turning point in Kelani Jordan’s career, who had been widely regarded as a leading candidate for future Women’s Championship titles in WWE. Vice’s understated approach contrasted with Jordan’s confident pre-match bravado, making Vice’s victory a striking upset. The clash has added new depth to the competition within the NXT Women’s roster and reshaped expectations for upcoming championship pursuits.
