Lola Vice is reflecting on how far she has come since her days as a mixed martial artist, saying the transition to professional wrestling has fundamentally changed who she is.
The WWE star described herself as feeling like a “completely different person” compared to the version of herself that competed in MMA. Vice previously fought under the Bellator banner before making the crossover to sports entertainment, joining WWE and carving out a place on the roster.
It’s a journey that is becoming increasingly common — combat sports athletes bringing their athletic credibility into the world of pro wrestling — but Vice’s self-assessment suggests the change has gone beyond just picking up new in-ring skills. The way she frames it, the evolution has been personal as much as professional.
Vice has been part of the WWE roster since making the move from Bellator, and her background in combat sports has been a central part of her character and presentation. The shift from the discipline and isolation of MMA to the performance-driven world of professional wrestling is a significant one, and her comments indicate it has reshaped her outlook in a meaningful way.
For a performer still building her reputation on the main roster, that kind of self-awareness and growth narrative can be a powerful tool — both inside the ring and in how fans connect with her story.
