Lola Vice has punched her ticket to the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match after winning her WWE Raw debut in a high-stakes Triple Threat qualifier. Vice defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan on the September 14 edition of Raw, surviving the power advantage of Rodriguez and the aerial offense of the reigning NXT Women’s Champion.
The match also marked Jordan’s first main roster appearance in competition, making the qualifier a showcase for two rising names from the NXT side of WWE alongside one of Raw’s most physically imposing competitors. With a Money in the Bank opportunity on the line, the three women brought sharply different approaches to the ring, and Vice ultimately found the opening needed to secure the deciding pinfall.
Vice now joins Sol Ruca as the confirmed entrants in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Ruca qualified last week, while Vice’s victory gives the field another competitor with a dangerous striking game and the composure to capitalize when the action becomes unpredictable.
A fast-paced three-way battle on Raw
Jordan immediately showed awareness of the challenge in front of her when the opening bell rang. Rather than standing between Vice and Rodriguez, Jordan slipped outside the ring, allowing Rodriguez to focus her attention on Vice. Rodriguez went directly after Vice’s arm and used a shoulder block to put the newcomer on the defensive.

Vice answered in the manner that has defined her fighting style, firing back with a series of kicks. She attempted to trap Rodriguez in an arm triangle, but the larger Rodriguez was able to power out of danger and drop Vice to the mat. Jordan then returned to the action with a shot from behind on Rodriguez, looking to take advantage before either opponent could settle into control.
Rodriguez briefly halted Jordan’s momentum by catching her and driving her down. The two newer main-roster competitors then found a temporary common purpose, double-teaming Rodriguez and sending her to the outside. That alliance did not last long. Jordan knocked Vice down, only for Rodriguez to pull Jordan out of the ring in another quick shift in the match’s balance.
With no partner and no safe place in a Triple Threat environment, each wrestler had to react instantly. Jordan connected with a kick to Rodriguez’s face and followed it with a springboard moonsault. Rodriguez answered with a running crossbody, using her size and strength to bulldoze through the pace created by Jordan and Vice.
Vice brings her striking game to the main roster
Once Vice regained control, she made sure both opponents felt her offense. She fought Rodriguez off and dumped her over the top rope, then watched as Jordan sent Rodriguez into the ringside steps. Vice turned her attention back to Jordan and delivered multiple strikes before doing the same to Rodriguez.
The qualifier offered a clear first look at what Vice can bring to Raw’s women’s division. Her attack was built around quickness, body shots, kicks, and transitions into submissions. Against a powerhouse like Rodriguez, Vice could not simply rely on a sustained strength battle. Against an explosive athlete like Jordan, she needed to prevent the NXT Women’s Champion from finding room to take flight.
Vice scored with a roundhouse kick that took Rodriguez down, then added hip attacks to both of her opponents. She attempted a cover on Jordan, but Rodriguez broke up the pin and immediately reasserted herself with a lariat that dropped Vice.
Rodriguez’s presence repeatedly forced Vice and Jordan to adjust their strategy. Every time one competitor appeared close to a victory, Rodriguez was in position to interrupt. Her raw power made her a constant threat, whether she was launching an opponent across the ring, cutting off a pinfall, or preparing one of her biggest finishing moves.
Kelani Jordan shines in first main roster match
Jordan entered Raw as the reigning NXT Women’s Champion, and her performance reflected the athleticism that has made her one of NXT’s standout champions. She countered Rodriguez during an attempted throw and took her down, then connected with a Frog Splash on the powerhouse.
That sequence brought Jordan close to winning the qualifier, but Vice stopped the count with a halfkick. Rodriguez then prevented Vice from turning the momentum into a pinfall victory of her own. The match continued to escalate as all three wrestlers came within moments of advancing.
Jordan later went to the top rope and attempted her 450 Splash. The move did not result in the finish she wanted, as she landed in an arm triangle situation and Rodriguez broke up the ensuing pin attempt. Still, Jordan’s willingness to take risks on Raw’s stage showed why she remains NXT Women’s Champion.
Although she did not qualify, Jordan’s debut established an immediate connection between the NXT women’s division and the main roster Money in the Bank picture. She held her own with Vice and Rodriguez throughout the contest, mixing high-flying offense with quick counters and proving that she could thrive in the unpredictable structure of a multi-person WWE match.
Raquel Rodriguez’s power nearly decides the qualifier
Rodriguez came close to overwhelming both opponents on several occasions. After breaking up the arm triangle sequence, she splashed Vice in the corner and planted her with a fallaway slam. Rodriguez then looked to put the match away with the Tejana Bomb.
Vice avoided the attempted finish and worked her way into a sleeper hold. Rodriguez remained dangerous even while fighting Vice off, blasting Jordan with a big boot. That strike created a brief opening amid the chaos, but it was Vice who reacted first and rolled Rodriguez up for the victory.
The ending was a reminder of the risk that comes with a Triple Threat qualifying match. Rodriguez had the strength to dominate stretches of the contest and appeared on the verge of delivering the decisive Tejana Bomb. Yet with Jordan still involved and Vice ready to capitalize, one moment of distraction changed everything.
Lola Vice overcame Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan in her first Raw match to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
The Women’s Money in the Bank field takes shape
Vice becomes the second announced participant in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match after Sol Ruca’s qualification last week. Ruca and Vice both arrive from NXT backgrounds, giving the match an early influx of younger talent eager to make an impact on a major WWE stage.
Money in the Bank is unlike a standard singles or Triple Threat contest. The winner must climb a ladder and retrieve the briefcase, earning a future championship opportunity. Vice’s qualifier showed that she can remain composed in a match where momentum changes constantly, but the ladder environment will present another level of danger and unpredictability.
Her striking ability could make her a formidable threat in a crowded field, particularly when opponents are attempting to climb or defend a ladder. At the same time, the match will demand timing, resilience, and awareness beyond what was needed to escape Raw with a roll-up victory.
For now, Vice has accomplished the immediate goal: she has made a successful main roster debut and earned a place in one of WWE’s most important annual matches. Jordan made a strong first impression despite falling short, while Rodriguez will have to regroup after coming within reach of qualification more than once.
Men’s Money in the Bank developments
Raw’s Money in the Bank qualifying action has also continued on the men’s side. Earlier in the night, Je’Von Evans qualified for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Evans joins Bron Breakker, who became the first man to qualify last week.
With Vice joining Ruca in the women’s field and Evans joining Breakker in the men’s field, the path toward Money in the Bank is beginning to come into focus. Vice’s Raw debut ensured that the women’s match will include a competitor who has already proven she can navigate a fast-moving, high-pressure three-way fight.
Her win was not built on a single overwhelming stretch of offense. Instead, Vice absorbed Rodriguez’s power, countered Jordan’s speed, landed her own strikes, and seized the final opening when it appeared. In a Money in the Bank qualifier, that kind of opportunistic instinct can be the difference between an impressive showing and a career-changing victory.
