WWE wrestler Lola Vice recently appeared on the No Contest Wrestling podcast to discuss her groundbreaking role as the first Cuban–American woman to sign with WWE. She expressed deep pride in this achievement while reflecting on her family’s immigrant background and dedication.
Connecting With Her Cuban Roots and Family Sacrifices
Vice spoke emotionally about her Cuban heritage and the sacrifices her grandparents made to give her opportunities in the United States. Born in Miami, a vibrant hub for Cuban and Hispanic culture, she has always felt a strong connection to her roots.
“That’s a topic that makes me emotional, right? It makes me emotional because my grandparents came from Cuba with nothing and my grandma since i was little, she always told me that I was born to be a big star. For some reason, I always related a lot to my culture, even though I was born in Miami. Miami — it’s a lot of Cubans, it’s a melting pot for Hispanics.” —Lola Vice
Representing Cuba and Bringing Awareness Through Wrestling

“Just knowing how much my grandparents sacrificed to get to the United States and give me an opportunity to live my dream, for some reason since I was little, I would look myself in the mirror and know that I was born to represent where I’m from. I’ve always known it. There’s a lot of really sad things happening in Cuba and people are very ignorant to it and it really breaks my heart. The most I can do is represent my culture the best of my ability and bring some type of awareness that I will eventually in my career. But right now, this is who I am.” —Lola Vice
Inspiring Others Through Her Immigrant Background
She also shared a message of hope and determination for anyone facing challenges, drawing strength from her family’s immigrant journey. This perspective fuels her passion to succeed and motivate others to follow their dreams.
“I come from a family of immigrants, and if we could do, anyone can make their dreams come true.” —Lola Vice
