Lola Vice Makes History: New NXT Women’s Champion Crowned at Stand & Deliver 2026
The landscape of the NXT women’s division shifted dramatically on Saturday, April 4, 2026, as Lola Vice ascended to the top of the mountain. In a high-stakes opener at NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 in St. Louis, Vice captured the NXT Women’s Championship, marking a historic milestone for both the athlete and the brand.
A Chaotic Triple Threat Clash
The championship match featured a volatile triple threat dynamic, pitting defending champion Jacy Jayne against rising star Kendal Grey and the powerhouse Lola Vice. The match was the culmination of a rivalry where both Vice and Grey had previously failed to decisively defeat one another in a top contender match, earning them both a shot at Jayne’s title.
The contest was defined by chaos and strategic interference. While Jacy Jayne’s faction, Fatal Influence, attempted to tip the scales in her favor, the plan backfired when the group became preoccupied fighting off Wren Sinclair. This left Jayne isolated in the ring, creating the opening Lola Vice needed. Vice capitalized on the situation, delivering a devastating spinning backfist to Jayne to secure the three count and the victory.
Breaking Barriers and Holding Gold
Lola Vice’s victory is more than just a title change; it’s a piece of wrestling history. According to commentator Vic Joseph, Vice has become the first female Cuban-American champion in the history of the division.
This win also establishes Vice as a dominant force across multiple promotions. By capturing the NXT Women’s Title, she is now a double champion, as she continues to hold the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside Mr Iguana, as reported by WrestleTalk.
The End of Jacy Jayne’s Dominance
The loss marks the end of a significant era for Jacy Jayne, who had ruled the NXT women’s division for much of the past year. This was Jayne’s second reign with the title; she first held the championship from May to October after dethroning Stephanie Vaquer, before losing it to Tatum Paxley. Jayne eventually reclaimed the title from Paxley in November at Gold Rush.
Despite the strength of Fatal Influence, Jayne’s reign ended in St. Louis, clearing the way for a new chapter under Lola Vice’s leadership.
