Wrestling fans, brace yourselves for a clash of champions that’s heating up faster than a summer sidewalk! Since reclaiming the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand and Deliver this past April, Roxanne Perez has been unstoppable. With eight successful defenses under her belt, she’s taken down a who’s who of wrestling talent, including Lyra Valkyria, Chelsea Green, and even TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace. But her next challenge might just be her fiercest yet, as Lola Vice steps up to not only match Perez in the ring but to play a mental chess game that could shake the foundations of NXT.
In a bold move that left fans buzzing, Lola Vice took to X on Wednesday afternoon to stir the pot. She posted a photo of herself with Perez’s prized NXT Women’s Championship belt, which she swiped from Perez on the latest episode of “NXT.” With a confident smirk, Vice declared that the championship looked much better on her. The response from Perez was swift and sharp. Twenty minutes later, she shot back, “Enjoy the photos, Lola. That’s the closest you’re ever going to get to being champion.”
This brewing rivalry began two weeks ago when Vice and Perez found themselves teaming up against The Meta Four’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson. Despite their victory, Vice’s lingering gaze on Perez’s title sparked tension. The following week, the duo teamed up again in a three-way tag match, emerging victorious only for Perez to nail Vice with a backfist post-match after catching her staring at the belt once more.
While Perez’s reign has been nothing short of dominant, Vice is no slouch either. The former Bellator fighter has been on a hot streak, winning eight out of her last ten matches on “NXT” TV and live events. Her impressive victories include notable wins in NXT Underground over Natalya and Shayna Baszler, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with.
As the tension mounts, fans are eagerly awaiting the inevitable showdown between Perez and Vice. Will Perez continue her reign of dominance, or will Vice’s mind games and in-ring prowess see her dethrone the champion? One thing is for sure, this rivalry is far from over, and the NXT Women’s Championship is at the heart of the storm.
