Stephanie Vaquer defended her NXT Women\u2019s Championship against Jacy Jayne in the last match of the night. Jayne was accompanied by the other members of Fatal Influence, which ended up being very beneficial to her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Vaquer was caught in the ropes, Jazmyn Nyx distracted the official, allowing Fallon Henley to kick her in the face. That caused Jayne to hit the pinfall, allowing her to be the new NXT Women\u2019s Champion. Everyone was shocked in the arena.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crowd and announcers were silent, which never happens. Even Mike Rome stared in disbelief before announcing the new champion. It\u2019s obvious that no one suspected Vaquer to be defeated at the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, surprising title changes are good and, in the case of Jacy Jayne, very well deserved for many reasons.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL MATCH: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Jacy Jayne | NXT Women\u2019s Title Match: NXT, May 27, 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TmVt_Bt3BoI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jacy Jayne Waited Four Years to Become NXT Women&#8217;s Champion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest reasons why Jacy Jayne became NXT Women\u2019s Champion is because of all the hard work she\u2019s done in NXT. She was signed in February 2021, which was over four years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, she has been an integral part of Toxic Attraction, was NXT Women\u2019s Tag Team Champion twice alongside Gigi Dolin, and was a member of Chase University for a few months before forming Fatal Influence. Jayne was also a part of NXT\u2019s final WarGames event before it became a PLE on the main roster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though things didn\u2019t work out with Toxic Attraction and Chase University, she kept delivering great matches that entertained the fans. Last Tuesday\u2019s victory was the reward for all the hard work she\u2019s put in over the last four years. Everything she\u2019s gone through has paid off in the form of a very deserving championship win.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jacy Jayne&#8217;s Win Shocked Everyone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When there\u2019s a dominant champion, it\u2019s easy to predict when they\u2019ll retain the title. You root for the underdog because if they win, it\u2019ll be very unexpected. But when those moments do happen, you get reactions like the ones from everyone inside the Performance Center last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a few seconds, the only thing that could be heard was the Fatal Influence theme music. As strong as Stephanie Vaquer was, no one thought that Jacy Jayne would\u2019ve taken the title off of her. That\u2019s another reason why she won the title.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, Adam Pearce announced that Vaquer was going to Monday Night Raw. Having her lose to someone not just unexpected, but someone who has put in the work for years, was a great decision. Jacy Jayne taking the title off Stephanie Vaquer was a great way to recognize how much she has done for NXT.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jayne\u2019s Win Marks the High Point in Her NXT Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from getting called up to the main roster, winning the NXT Championship is the highest achievement you can get as an NXT wrestler. After four long years of battling, that is what Jacy Jayne did last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some wrestlers won the title within weeks or months of their debut. She had to go through so much before even getting a title opportunity. The release of Mandy Rose, a vicious breakup with Gigi Dolin, and a fallout with Thea Hail are just some of the things that could\u2019ve legitimately sunk her career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Jayne kept delivering great matches that kept the interest of NXT\u2019s loyal fanbase. They never gave up on her, even though it seemed like her career stagnated several times. Jacy Jayne never stopped working hard and got rewarded with the NXT Women\u2019s Championship, something that was earned through many years of dedication and hard work.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Jacy Jayne, WWE NXT, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
