In May 2025, Jaycee Jane finally won singles gold when she defeated Stephanie Walker for the NXT Women’s Championship With help from Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx. The aftermath put Jayne and Fatal Influence on top of the division and created a wave of momentum that he has been riding ever since to the main roster.
During an interview with Denise SalcedoJane looked back on the match and her state of mind as she took the win. “It actually felt like it was happening,” he recalls. “I felt like I was almost having an out-of-body experience that day.” Jane explained that she had been imagining the moment happening for so long, but when it finally came, she was in disbelief.
Online reaction to Jayne’s win was largely negative, with many fans unhappy to see one of NXT’s biggest babyfaces, Walker, lose his title after being cheated on. Wacker’s reign ultimately lasted only 77 days. However, according to Jane, the criticism did not bother her at all. “You couldn’t have written anything better. People were so mad,” she recalled.
He then went on to point out how he’s been viewed as a “top dog” for a long time, which didn’t make sense to him, especially after what he accomplished in NXT. “I really don’t know what to do to show everyone that I’m ‘That Girl.’ I’m The Girl.”
Although she can’t seem to wrap her head around the things fans say online, Jane insists she enjoys the hate she receives and especially loves it when people underestimate her or the crowds make fun of her. “It makes me work harder and it makes me want more because I like to rub it in your face,” he said.
