WWE NXT women's champion Jacy Jayne has had a breakout year, becoming a two-time champion in the past 12 months. After more than 135 days as champion, the 25-year-old is ready for a main roster call-up to either Raw or SmackDown, where she believes she can stand toe-to-toe with the top women's wrestlers.

Why it matters

Jayne's potential call-up to the main WWE roster would be a significant career milestone, as she looks to follow in the footsteps of fellow NXT standout Stephanie Vaquer. Jayne's confidence and self-assuredness suggest she could make an immediate impact on the main roster women's division.

The details

Jayne became a two-time NXT women's champion in the past year, first defeating Stephanie Vaquer and then regaining the title against Tatum Paxley. Her current reign has lasted over 135 days as she heads into the Stand & Deliver event in a triple-threat match against Kendal Grey and Lola Vice.

  • Jayne has been in NXT for about 5 years.
  • She feels she would not have been ready for a main roster call-up 2-3 years ago.

What they’re saying

“I've been in NXT for about five years now. I feel like if I got called up two or three years ago, it wouldn't have ended well. I would have been gone by now. Everybody always loves to say that they're ready and in reality, you're not ready. It takes time to develop. It takes time to get confident and know your craft.”

— Jacy Jayne, NXT Women's Champion

“I feel now, I'm ready. I know I can stand in the ring with anybody. I'm not intimidated. I can go with the best. So, I'm ready. Whenever they decide I'm ready, I'm going to be there, and I'm gonna take a spot and all of them should be ready.”
