WWE NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne may have had the best year of anyone on the brand.
She became a two-time Women’s Champion within a year, knocking out Stephanie Vaquer and then regaining the championship against Tatum Paxley. Jayne’s current reign has lasted more than 135 days as she enters Stand & Deliver in a triple threat match against Kendal Gray and Lola Vice.

The New Jersey native has been on the NXT roster for about five years and has only gotten a small taste of the main roster, making a brief appearance on SmackDown in 2022 and making her women’s Royal Rumble debut back in January.
Jayne may be in line for a full-time call-up to the main roster sooner rather than later, following in the footsteps of Vaquer, who got his call-up in the months after Stand & Deliver 2025.

She told Pakinomist Digital in a recent interview that if she would have been called a few years ago, she would have crashed.
“I’ve been in NXT for about five years now,” Jayne said. “I feel like if I got called up two or three years ago, it wouldn’t have ended well. I’d be gone now. Everyone always loves to say they’re ready, and in reality you’re not ready. It takes time to develop. It takes time to become confident and know your craft.”
Jayne said that in her current state she feels as ready as ever and put the women’s division on Raw and SmackDown.
“I feel now I’m ready,” she said. “I know I can stand in the ring with anybody. I’m not intimidated. I can go with the best. So I’m ready. When they decide I’m ready, I’ll be there and I’ll take a seat and they should all be ready.”
