Summary

Lola Vice is scheduled to celebrate her NXT Women's Championship win on the April 7 episode of WWE NXT.

The new champion won the title at Stand & Deliver by defeating Jacy Jayne and Kendal Grey in a triple threat match, a bout that had been set up when Vice was added to the Stand & Deliver title match. After the win, NXT general manager Robert Stone announced that Vice would get an in-ring celebration on Tuesday's show.

The updated lineup for the episode also includes the start of the tournament to crown a new NXT Speed Champion, a three-way match featuring Jasper Troy, Keanu Carver, and Josh Briggs, plus Sol Ruca vs. Izzi Dame.

Updated WWE NXT lineup for April 7

The following items were listed for Tuesday's show:

  • Tournament to crown a new NXT Speed Champion begins
  • Jasper Troy vs. Keanu Carver vs. Josh Briggs
  • Lola Vice championship celebration
  • Sol Ruca vs. Izzi Dame

The source also noted that Vice celebrated backstage with Sexyy Red after winning the championship.

What Lola Vice's title win means for NXT

Putting Lola Vice back in front of the crowd for a championship celebration gives NXT an immediate follow-up to one of Stand & Deliver's biggest title changes. It also signals that Vice is being positioned as a central figure in the women's division right away, not as a champion who disappears after the pay-per-view weekend.

Sol Ruca's addition to the same card matters too because NXT is already moving one of the show's featured post-Stand & Deliver stories onto television. With Vice celebrating and Ruca returning to action on the same episode, Tuesday's lineup is clearly built around the women's side of the brand.
