Lola Vice made a strong impact in her WWE Raw debut by defeating Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan to secure a spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank (MITB) ladder match. This match also marked the main roster debut for Kelani Jordan, who enters as the current NXT Women’s Champion.
The bout started with Jordan immediately exiting the ring, allowing Rodriguez to focus on Vice’s arm and take control with a shoulder block. Vice responded with a series of kicks and locked Rodriguez in an arm triangle, though Rodriguez countered by dropping Vice to the mat. Jordan then attacked Rodriguez from behind, but Rodriguez caught her and threw her down. Vice and Jordan teamed up to eliminate Rodriguez to the outside, but soon after, Jordan knocked Vice down. Rodriguez then removed Jordan from the ring; Jordan retaliated with a kick to Rodriguez’s face followed by a springboard moonsault. Rodriguez answered back with a running crossbody.
Vice managed to fight off Rodriguez, tossing her over the top rope, and Jordan then slammed Rodriguez into the steps. Vice struck both opponents repeatedly, taking Jordan down with a roundhouse kick and executing hip attacks on them. She pinned Jordan, but Rodriguez interrupted the count by taking Vice down with a lariat. Rodriguez attempted to finish Jordan off but was reversed by Jordan. Jordan executed a Frog Splash on Rodriguez, but Vice stopped Jordan with a half-kick, though Rodriguez broke up the pin again. After landing a fallaway slam and defending against a 450 splash attempt by Jordan, Rodriguez aimed for the Tejana Bomb, but Vice transitioned it into a sleeper hold. Rodriguez then struck Jordan with a big boot before Vice rolled Rodriguez up to win and advance.
Earlier in the evening, Je’Von Evans secured his spot, while last week Bron Breakker became the first qualifier for the Men’s MITB match and Sol Ruca qualified for the women’s match.
Fan Take: Lola Vice’s impressive debut shows the depth of talent rising on WWE’s main roster, which is exciting for fighting fans hoping for fresh rivalries and storylines. Her quick qualification for the MITB ladder match could shake up the competition and add new intensity to what’s always a thrilling event in professional wrestling.
