Lola Vice Earns NXT Women’s Title Rematch Against Kendal Grey

Lola Vice is heading back to the top of the NXT women’s division. On the July 14 edition of NXT, Vice won a Triple Threat main event over Kelani Jordan and Kali Armstrong to become the No. 1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship — setting up a rematch with Kendal Grey, the woman who took the title from her just weeks ago.

The match came with added drama from the moment Vice made her intentions known. Earlier in the show, Saquon Shugars was in a backstage conversation with Wren Sinclair and Grey regarding his ongoing problems with DarkState when Vice stepped in to deliver a pointed message to the champion. “I’m not done yet, mama. I’m getting my title back,” Vice said. Grey shot back that Vice would need to win the Triple Threat first. “I will,” Vice replied — and she delivered on that promise.

The main event itself was an entertaining showcase for all three competitors. Armstrong used her size and power to control stretches of the bout, while Jordan lit up the crowd with her high-flying offense. Vice brought her trademark MMA-influenced style, targeting both opponents with submission attempts — including a guillotine choke and a triangle choke — before landing running hip attacks in opposite corners.

The finish arrived in a flurry. Jordan connected with a picture-perfect 450 Splash on Armstrong and appeared on the verge of winning, only for Vice to break up the pin with a buzzsaw kick. With Jordan out of the picture, Vice covered Armstrong and secured the three count.

With the win officially on the books, Vice and Grey are on a collision course for the NXT Women’s Championship — a rematch that figures to carry plenty of bad blood given how their last chapter ended.
