WWE NXT starlet, Lola Vice, recently shared her thoughts on a hypothetical UFC-WWE crossover during an interview on the “Wayne Ayers” podcast. Vice highlighted two outstanding UFC talents, Ilia Topuria – the reigning featherweight champion, and Sean O’Malley – former Bantamweight Champion, as the fighters she believes could make a remarkable shift in the WWE scene.
Expanding on her thoughts, Vice passionately mentioned, “Sean O’Malley, for sure. Also, Ilia Topuria. He would be good. Sean would also be good. He definitely would (make a great heel). I actually love Ilia, I think he’s amazing. I’ve known him for years because we have the same management. He’s really good. He backs himself up in the ring.”
