WWE NXT star Jacy Jayne ready for Stand & Deliver challenge, says she loves to prove people wrong
Jacy Jayne has been the NXT women’s champion for more than 130 days and has all the belief in the world that her reign will remain intact once Stand & Deliver is finished on Saturday night.
Jayne’s hopes of battling either Kendal Grey or Lola Vice one-on-one vanished on Wednesday as NXT GM Rob Stone announced that she will defend the title in a triple-threat match. Grey and Vice’s match to determine a No. 1 contender ended in controversy as one competitor tapped out and the other was pinned.

To make things right, Stone put both challengers in the match against Jayne at Stand & Deliver.
Jayne told Fox News Digital before the decision was made that it doesn’t matter who she faces, she was confident she was going to come out on top.
“No, because I’ve beaten them both already,” she said when asked if it mattered who she was going to face. “So, I’m going to do the same thing that I’ve done in the past and I’m gonna win and remain your NXT women’s champion.”
Jayne is in her second run as NXT women’s champion. She defeated Tatum Paxley at NXT Gold Rush in November to jumpstart the next reign. She’s one of four women to hold the NXT Women’s Championship at least twice. Roxanne Perez, Charlotte Flair and Shayna Baszler each accomplishing the feat.

The New Jersey native is relishing the opportunity to be the NXT women’s champion and proving the doubters wrong.
“Well, I feel like I was severely underrated and people doubted me and when I won the title, they were like, ‘What the heck is going on? Why Jacy?’ And I think over the last 10-11 months that I’ve been champion, I’ve proven everybody wrong,” she told Fox News Digital.
“I was always meant for this spot. It was only a matter of time. I was waiting for my right moment and I love to prove people wrong, and I love to make grown men cry.”
NXT Stand & Deliver will take place Saturday in St. Louis, Missouri, at 7 p.m. ET. The event can be seen on YouTube.
