Professional wrestling career[edit]

WWE (2022–present)[edit]

In March 2022, Loureda attended a three-day-long WWE tryout during WrestleMania 38 weekend. By August, she was signed by WWE and reported to the WWE Performance Center.[12][13] She made her in-ring debut at an NXT live event on November 12.[14][15] On December 6, Loureda announced that her new ring name would be Lola Vice.[16]

Vice made her on-screen debut on the January 27, 2023, episode of NXT Level Up, losing to Dani Palmer.[17][18] She first teamed up with Elektra Lopez on the April 14 episode of NXT Level Up, losing to Katana Chance and Kayden Carter.[19] On the June 13 episode of NXT, Vice officially allied herself with Lopez, establishing herself as a heel.[20][21]

On the September 12 episode of NXT, it was announced that Vice would take part in the fourth edition of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament, which began on the October 3 episode of NXT.[22][23] She defeated Dani Palmer in the first round and Karmen Petrovic in the semifinals, the latter which was held on Night 1 of Halloween Havoc on October 24 and advanced to the final on Night 2 of NXT Halloween Havoc on October 31.[24][25] Vice defeated Kelani Jordan in the finals to win the tournament, earning a contract for an NXT Women's Championship match at any time of her choosing.[26] On the January 16, 2024 edition of NXT, Vice turned face for the first time in her career and ended her association with Lopez when she eliminated her from a No.1 contenders battle royal and the two then fought to the back. On the January 23 episode of NXT, Vice cemented her face turn when Lopez confronted her during a Supernova Sessions segment and proceeded to attack her, thus setting up a match for the following week, which Vice won.[27] At Vengeance Day on February 4, Vice cashed in her Breakout Tournament contract during the ongoing NXT Women's Championship match between champion Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez, turning the match into a triple threat; however, Vice was unsuccessful as she was pinned by Valkyria.[28]
