Video: Bellator vet Valerie Loureda lands spinning roundhouse kick before WWE NXT loss

Valerie Loureda, now known as Lola Vice, pulled off some big moves before losing her WWE NXT debut.

The former Bellator flyweight head-kicked opponent Dani Palmer with a spinning roundhouse before getting pinned, a sign she’s paying her dues seven months after leaving MMA to sign with WWE.

Loureda had wrestled in previous NXT events, but Friday’s show was her moment in the spotlight. Her over-the-top character appeared to jell with the talent-development league.

Loureda, 24, auditioned for WWE this past April.
