Lola Vice’s WWE Raw Debut Teased for September 14 in Mexico City

Lola Vice appears ready to begin the next chapter of her WWE career after a new vignette aired during the August 24, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw.

The short video did not show Vice’s face or identify her by name, but the imagery strongly pointed toward the former NXT Women’s Champion. The vignette ended by displaying September 14, suggesting that the mystery wrestler will arrive when Raw takes place at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico.

WWE also shared the teaser through its social media accounts without revealing the wrestler’s identity. According to Fightful, the person featured in the video appeared to be Vice, who recently finished her run on NXT.

The decision to introduce Vice in Mexico City would connect with her Cuban-American identity and her recent experience working in Mexico. She competed regularly for AAA and held the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside Mr. Iguana.

Although reports had previously suggested that Vice could join SmackDown, airing her first vignette during Raw indicates that she may instead become part of the red brand. WWE has not formally confirmed her roster destination or announced an opponent for September 14.

Vice, whose real name is Valerie Loureda, joined WWE in 2022 after previously competing in mixed martial arts for Bellator. She entered WWE with a 4-1 professional MMA record and brought her Taekwondo background into her wrestling character.

She made her televised debut on NXT Level Up in January 2023 before becoming a regular member of the NXT women’s division. Vice won the 2023 NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament, which earned her an opportunity to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship.

Her first attempt came at Vengeance Day 2024, where she used her tournament contract during the championship match between Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez. Vice was unable to capture the title but later found success in NXT Underground matches against opponents including Natalya and Shayna Baszler.

Vice finally won the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver 2026 by defeating Jacy Jayne and Kendal Grey in a Triple Threat Match. WWE’s official results show that Vice pinned Jayne after connecting with her spinning backfist.

Her NXT run appeared to conclude on August 4, when she challenged Kendal Grey for the championship in an NXT Underground Match. Grey retained after forcing Vice to submit to an armbar, giving Vice a possible farewell match before her move.

The September 14 Raw will also feature Roman Reigns defending the World Heavyweight Championship against the winner of the tournament final between Penta and Rey Fenix. Vice’s expected arrival gives WWE another attraction for its return to Mexico City.
