Former Bellator fighter Valerie Loureda officially signed with WWE back in June of this year.
Loureda attended the WWE tryouts that took place during WrestleMania 38 week in April, with WWE coaches viewing her as a ‘high-ceiling talent’.
She was officially announced as a WWE signing in the August 2022 class at the WWE Performance Center.
Loureda made her in-ring debut in a Halloween Battle Royal at an NXT Live Event on October 28.
Her second match saw her team with Bronco Nima and Xyon Quinn at the November 12 NXT live event, coming up short against Andre Chase, Duke Hudson and Thea Hail of Chase U.
Now though, it seems as though Valerie Loureda is in the past, as she now officially has her WWE ring name.
Changing her Twitter handle, Loureda announced her new name, Lola Vice.
