The May 27 episode of WWE NXT brought a surprising and somewhat contentious change in the women’s division with a new NXT Women’s Champion being crowned. The episode continued the fallout from WWE Battleground, featuring a key match where Stephanie Vaquer, the reigning champion who recently defended her title against Jolding Race, faced challenger Jacy Jayne. This main event match kicked off immediately without any fanfare or introduction. Jayne took early control, working to wear down Vaquer, as Dalys and Chik Tormenta appeared at ringside only for Lola Vice to intervene in support of Vaquer. These four competitors are set to face off at the upcoming Worlds Collide event.
The match went through a commercial break with Jayne maintaining her dominance until Vaquer fought back near the SVB area. Fallon Henley then appeared ringside, allowing Vaquer to counterattack. Despite Vaquer’s efforts, Jayne executed a strong finishing move and secured the pinfall victory, claiming the NXT Women’s Championship. The future challengers for Jayne’s title are still unknown, leaving uncertainty about what lies ahead for the NXT women’s division.
Fan Take: This title change is a significant shakeup for NXT, injecting fresh energy and unpredictability into the women’s division. WWE fans should watch closely as Jayne’s reign could spark new rivalries and elevate the competition, potentially reshaping the trajectory of the NXT brand.
