A WWE star has opened up about her AAA experience, sharing how they adapted their training for the experience.
WWE announced the acquisition of AAA at WrestleMania 41 earlier this year, with the first crossover event being Worlds Collide in June.
NXT star Lola Vice is one of the many WWE names to have seen action not only at Worlds Collide but also at AAA shows in Mexico.
During a recent interview with Uncrowned (via Yahoo Sports), Vice reflected on her experience, looking back at her first Mexico show, saying:
“I remember my first show there … it’s completely sold out, and it’s at least 12,000 people there.
“I was like, ‘Whoa, this is insane.’ But I’m also the type of person that performs better with a bigger crowd, so it’s so fun for me to go over there and also be able to hear the crowd, and be in the moment and learn from that.
“It’s just a completely different story that I’ve been able to bring (from) that into NXT.”
Vice’s story in AAA has seen her form an unconventional alliance with the popular Mr. Iguana, with the pair seeing tag team victories at AAA Alianzas and Worlds Collide in September.
Mr Iguana is much more at home with the luchadore style of AAA, with Vice having a more grounded style, something she reflected upon further, stating:
“There’s a joke in class where they call me ‘Lucha’ Lola, because I don’t do flips or anything like that, but now I actually work in lucha, so I’ve had to adapt to that.
“Actually, my friends like Sol (Ruca) and Kelani (Jordan) have actually been training me in the acrobat part of this, because we all push each other. And then I help them with their striking — I tell them when a strike looks like s**t or it doesn’t.
“We try to feed off each other and make each other better. I think that’s the magic that we have in the women’s division on the show right now.”
With her match against NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne at No Mercy fast approaching, Vice would state that she is ready, using her AAA profile as an example, explaining:
“Everyone says they’re ready, but I think it’s evident, and I think everyone recognizes the growth I’ve had this year. I’ve been one of the most consistent, reliable and durable talents that they have on the show. I’ve been working two shows these past months at the same time, all these big (Premium Live Events). I give everything 100% I have.
“I’m representing the company in AAA, and this year, more than ever, you could see my growth. You could see that I’m ready and I’m more confident than ever. I know that this is what I was born to do in my life.”
Vice signed with WWE in August 2023, winning that year’s NXT Breakout Tournament.
No Mercy takes place on September 27, with the full card for the upcoming show right here.
