Vice all but said goodbye to NXT on August 4, dropping the NXT Women’s Championship to Kendal Grey in an Underground Match. It was her first loss under that stipulation after four consecutive wins.
After the show went off the air, Vice thanked the fans at the Performance Center and left her gloves in the ring. Damian Priest made a surprise appearance to embrace her before her farewell speech.
There were signs on the AAA side as well. Vice and Mr. Iguana lost the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship to La Hiedra and Laredo Kid shortly before the call-up reports surfaced. She later said goodbye to the Mexican promotion altogether.
On top of all that, WWE has filed a trademark for “Vice City” in connection with pro wrestling and entertainment, a term directly tied to Vice’s character throughout her NXT run.
