The Supernova Sessions With Special Guest: Lola Vice & Elektra Lopez
Noam Dar: Hello, hello, hello. Hear me now? Live from the moon, welcome to another edition of Supernova Sessions, live in the USA. Now, unfortunately, Lash and Jakara are not here because they are taking care of that rookie, Wren Sinclair, and Miss I love horses, way too much, Fallon Henley.
Oro Mensah: Yee-Haw. Anyways, my brother, did you see Von’s training with all of his friends?
Noam Dar: You know that Robert Stone’s kids and Von Wagner, they all go to the same school, they are in the same class, and they even share crayons. Von, it doesn’t matter how hard you train, you could never beat me. That’s why I’m happy to give you a Heritage Cup Match. But you and all of those stupid children will never touch my cup. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s guest brings a whole new level of heat. Last week, she was in a battle royal that she didn’t need to be in, just to screw over her best friend. Talk about petty, ladies, and gentlemen, the breakout contract holder, Lola Vice. Lola, it’s an absolute pleasure to have you on the show. Last week, Lopez’s reaction when you eliminated her, it was fantastic, we loved it. But tell me, was it planned?
Lola Vice: The moment Elektra and I linked up, there’s an expiration date to our friendship. All credit to her, she saw a rising star in NXT, jump on the Lola Vice Jet ski, and tried to ride as long as she could. She’s a leech. She tried to use me and my star power to make her career relevant, again. I got sick and tired of carrying her dead weight around. So, I dumped her over the top rope, and out of my life, like the baggage she is.
Noam Dar: Lola, do you have any regrets?
Lola Vice: I don’t regret anything, Noam. I don’t regret all of these people watching my every move. I don’t regret all of the women in the locker room being super jealous of my star power. And I sure as hell don’t regret getting this contract on my own.
Elektra Lopez: Alright, I heard about enough of this. You know, looking at you, Lola, I’m not questioning why you did it, I’m questioning who the hell really you are? Because half of the time, you’re trying to hold back tears, retweeting any positive comments about you, pretending to be all sweet and innocent. Saying it’s such an honor to be in WWE. I worked harder and sacrificed more than anyone else to be here. Bitch, I’ve sacrificed ten times more than you. My hard work, every single day is the reason why I’m here, and it’s what grabbed the attention of Santos Escobar and Legado Del Fantasma. La Madrina is real. You got here by shaking your ass on Instagram. I mean, one minute you’re auditioning for a lifetime movie, and then the next, you are a wannabe MMA fighter, shadow boxing in your bikini. Real talk, what I’m looking at right now, is the biggest phony in all of WWE. The realest thing in your life is that next week, it’s you and me, one on one.
Lola Vice: Oh, Elektra, are you really sure what you’re getting yourself into?
Elektra Lopez: You’re right, I don’t want to wait till next week, I want to burn Vice City to the ground, right now.
Vice and Lopez gets into a massive brawl to close the segment.

Lyra Valkyria & Roxanne Perez’s Contract Signing
Ava: Now, there are some big expectations for this match at Vengeance Day. So, all that’s left is to sign this contract and let’s make it official.
Roxanne Perez: Look, Lyra, let’s just get all of the respect stuff out of the way, because I think we both know that we respect each other. More importantly, I think this is the Stand and Deliver main event, nine weeks early.
Lyra Valkyria: I agree. This is a match that everyone wants to see. In fact, I almost feel like we’ve been on this parallel path the last twelve months. The day that you won this NXT Women’s Championship, that was the same day I made my debut here.
Roxanne Perez: Well, I guess this is a match a year in a making, and I’ve actually been waiting to say this to your face. You’ve had an incredible first year, Lyra, I’ll give you that. You’re the women’s champion. The number one woman in the best women’s division in all of WWE. It kind of feels a little bit familiar to me, because I was exactly where you were, one year ago. This year, everybody has been able to witness the rise of Lyra Valkyria, while I had to pick myself up, jump through every hurdle, dig deeper, and chase down the very championship that I never lost in the first place. At Vengeance Day, there’s no more triple threats, there’s no more fatal four ways, battle royals, match stipulations, I finally get my one-on-one title match. And when I win, that will mean that, every single thing I went through this past year was worth it. And you, Lyra, you will travel down the road that I just walked to get back to me and my title.
Lyra Valkyria: Don’t think that I haven’t been keeping my eye on you, Roxanne. I watched you grow from this girl who’s so happy to be here, into this confident woman that’s not afraid to snap when her button is pushed. And I’m not trying to push your buttons now, I’m just going to tell you the truth. You had a great run, but I replaced you. I have replaced you at the top of this division. And I know you’re thinking of bringing this new edgy Roxanne Perez to Vengeance Day. The edgy Roxanne that’s walked through glass this past year. Good, I need that, because the last person that I have to prove this is my division to, is you. And at Vengeance Day, that is exactly what’s going to happen. And then the last twelve months for you, well, they are going to be nothing.
Roxanne Perez: You are so confident, Lyra. Trust me, I sounded exactly the same. Just another PLE, right? Just another challenger? Trust me, I’ve been there. But let me give you a little bit of advice, because this is what’s going to happen. You’re going to lose, and then that’s when the real questions start to begin. Is Lyra overrated? Was it too fast, too soon, because somedays, these people are going to be with you, and somedays, they are going to boo you. Can you handle that? Because it’s so easy to handle when everything is going right. You’re on the posters, you’re on the billboards, but when I become champion, and I will, will you be able to rebuild yourself the way I did? Or will you crumble?
Lyra Valkyria: I know what you’re trying to say, Roxanne, and you are wrong, okay. I have always been mentally and physically tougher than you. And where you crumble, that’s where I thrive. I may have been following behind you, but after Vengeance Day, you will always stand behind me.
Ava: Okay, we are going to save this for Vengeance Day. And right now, we’re going to sign this. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s official, at Vengeance Day, it will be Lyra Valkyria versus Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship. Good luck to you both.
Lyra shakes hands with Roxanne. Tatum Paxley jumps Roxanne from behind as Lyra was walking out of the ring. Tatum delivers The Spinebuster through the table. Tatum starts hugging Lyra. Lyra shoves down Tatum. Lyra tells Tatum to stay away from her as the show goes off the air.
