WWE Star Open To Crossing Over To UFC Following TKO Merger

WWE/TKO/UFC

A current WWE star has spoken about being open to a potential crossover to the UFC following the TKO merger.

WWE officially merged with the UFC to form the TKO Group back in September after it was announced back in April that Endeavor had purchased the company from Vince McMahon.

Following the merger, a lot of speculation arose about potential crossovers between the stars of both companies, with many names in WWE having prior experience in MMA.

One of those names is NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament winner Lola Vice, who made the jump to WWE from Bellator MMA last year.

Speaking with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald, Vice gave her thoughts on the merger between the two companies.

She said:

“My thought is, like my life is crazy. There’s a destiny for me, and everything lands into place at certain times. So of course, I sign with WWE, I’m in developmental for a while, and then we sign with TKO, and I have that whole fanbase. I fought for Bellator, I truly was a fighter and know that market. So for me, it’s like, wow, what a better time for Lola Vice to be with TKO, cross-promote, and that’s also my world, and now this is my world, and everything came together. I’m like, this is amazing.”

Lola was then asked about a potential crossover with UFC following the merger, to which she said that she would be open to it, though right now she is committed to WWE.

She added:

“I have mixed thoughts about that because right now, I’m very committed to being the best wrestler or superstar in the history of WWE. I’m a big believer that you have to stick to one path and commit to that, and you can’t really do two, three, four, and then just be okay in all of them. If I’m gonna do something, I’m gonna be the best at it. Maybe that’s in my cards in a while, if Hunter wants me to do it. Whoever my boss is, I will do what they want, and of course, I’ll be open to it. I love fighting. But right now, I’m completely dedicated to the WWE, and that’s my only goal.”
