Lola Vice is the new Women’s Champion.
In the opening match of Saturday’s Stand & Deliver, Vice defeated Kendal Grey and Jacy Jayne to win the title for the first time. After Wren Sinclair took out both Fallon Henley and Laney Reid at ringside, it boiled down to the three wrestlers in the ring. After Jayne sent Grey out of the ring with a rolling encore, Vice connected with the spinning backfist to win the title.
Jayne had held the title for 137 days, defeating Tatum Paxley back at NXT Gold Rush in November. Aside from Paxley’s short reign, Jayne had held the title dating back to last May.
After Grey and Sinclair defeated Fatal Influence in a tag match on NXT, Grey called out Jayne for a title match. However, Vice came out and said she wanted next as well. The two met in a number one contender’s match on Tuesday’s show that ended in controversy. While Grey seemingly had Vice pinned following a northern lights suplex, she also tapped out during the pinfall count. A second referee entered the ring to debate the finish as the show ended in confusion. It wasn’t until the following day on social media that the triple threat was made for Stand & Deliver.
