The WWE Universe was left stunned during last night’s electrifying episode of WWE NXT, when an unexpected and awkward moment took center stage — a moment no one saw coming, least of all Lola Vice.
The match was already intense. Lola Vice, known for her fierce in-ring style and unmatched charisma, was battling her longtime rival Gigi Dolin in a no-disqualification match. The two had been trading brutal punches, slams, and high-flying moves. The audience was hooked. But what happened next would steal all the headlines — not because of a finishing move, but because of something completely unexpected.
The Incident That Shook The Arena
Halfway through the match, as Lola Vice delivered a powerful roundhouse kick to Gigi in the corner of the ring, fans noticed something odd. Her outfit — a tight, custom-designed wrestling skirt — had begun to tear at the seams. At first, it seemed minor. But with one wrong step during a top-rope moonsault, the fabric ripped fully, exposing more than intended. The crowd gasped, and even the announcers went silent for a few seconds.
The cameras quickly cut away, but in that brief moment, fans inside the arena witnessed the wardrobe malfunction live. Lola, ever the professional, continued the match like nothing happened, adjusting her gear mid-fight and keeping her composure. However, one person in the ring didn’t hide their reaction — the referee.
Referee’s Eyes Tell the Story
Referee Chad Miller, who was officiating the match, seemed completely distracted by the incident. Social media exploded with memes and posts about how “the ref couldn’t look away.” Cameras caught him standing still for a few seconds, seemingly lost in the situation. Fans noticed that he delayed a pin count, prompting chants of “REF, LOOK AWAY!” from the crowd.
While some found it humorous, others criticized the referee’s lack of professionalism. WWE has not released an official statement yet, but sources backstage say Chad Miller was immediately pulled aside by officials after the match and may be under internal review for his behavior during the incident.
Lola Vice: All Class Despite the Chaos
After the match, Lola Vice didn’t hide. In fact, she posted a short but powerful message on X (formerly Twitter):
“Malfunctions happen. I’m a fighter first, fashion icon second. Let’s keep it classy. 💋 #StillStanding”
Fans praised her grace and focus, with many pointing out how she handled the situation better than most could. WWE veterans like Natalya and Bayley even commented their support online, calling Lola “a true pro” and saying the incident shouldn’t overshadow her in-ring performance.
Despite the distraction, Lola Vice won the match, landing her signature “Vice Grip” submission hold and making Gigi tap out. The audience gave her a standing ovation — not just for the victory, but for her courage under pressure.
Backstage Reactions: A Mix of Shock and Support
Backstage sources revealed that Lola was understandably shaken after the match but laughed it off with her fellow superstars. “It’s not how I wanted to trend,” she reportedly joked. Several superstars, including Roxanne Perez, Tiffany Stratton, and Cora Jade, showed support for Lola, calling her “one of the strongest women in the locker room.”
On the other hand, some talents were reportedly upset about the referee’s reaction. One anonymous wrestler said, “We wear risky outfits, we trust the company and staff to keep it professional. When someone stares instead of doing their job, it puts us in an uncomfortable spot.”
Social Media Erupts
Within minutes, “Lola Vice” was trending worldwide. Fans flooded Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok with reactions, commentary, and even edits of the incident. While many fans supported Lola, others debated whether WWE should revisit female wrestling attire guidelines to avoid such malfunctions in the future.
Some fans compared the moment to other infamous WWE wardrobe malfunctions, such as Melina’s 2006 slip and Cameron’s outfit incident in 2013. But what made this one different was how Lola Vice turned a potential embarrassment into a show of strength and confidence.
What’s Next for Lola Vice?
While the incident may dominate headlines for a while, insiders say WWE has no plans to penalize or pull Lola from TV. In fact, she might even get a bigger push, as her name has never been more buzz-worthy. There’s talk that this incident may be turned into a storyline, with Gigi Dolin mocking her on-screen, leading to a high-stakes rematch at the next NXT Premium Live Event.
Some fans are even speculating a possible call-up to the main roster could be on the horizon, considering Lola’s rising popularity and composure under pressure.
Conclusion: A Viral Moment, But Not a Defining One
Lola Vice’s wardrobe malfunction might have shocked fans and temporarily distracted the match, but what truly stood out was her response. In a business where image is everything, Lola proved that confidence, professionalism, and focus c
an overcome even the most awkward situations.
