Lola Vice praises Jacy Jayne as WWE NXT locker room leader
They might be rivals on-screen, but Lola Vice has huge respect for Jacy Jayne.
Vice appeared on a new episode of the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, where she was asked about some of the allies she has behind the scenes in NXT. She responded by naming Kelani Jordan as one of her friends, along with offering praise for Jayne as an NXT locker room leader.
“I have my friends there. Kelani [Jordan] and I — like, I love her and we’re really good friends,” Vice said. “Jacy could be a b*tch sometimes, she can. But I will say, she’s a locker room leader. She leads by example. She’s an extremely hard-working person. She never complains. She’s incredible at her job. She’s taught me a lot. And I feel like Jacy, also, she’s one of the best women’s strikers we have in wrestling that has never had a striking background before.
“I like the way she thinks, and she’s so passionate about wrestling. She inspires me — even though I want her title — she inspires me. Yeah, I’ve learned so much from her. And I’m really happy that she’s in the position she’s in right now.”
Vice called Jayne a well-rounded performer in every aspect and said she was so happy to see Jayne win the NXT Women’s Championship this May.
The NXT Women’s title will be on the line when Jayne and Vice face off at NXT No Mercy next month. If Vice wins, it will be her first pro wrestling championship. The real-life Valerie Loureda is a former fighter for Bellator MMA.
Vice earned this upcoming NXT Women’s title shot by defeating Jaida Parker and Jordan in a triple threat match at Heatwave this past weekend.
