NXT Champion Says TNA Put Them On The Map As A Singles Wrestler
A current NXT Champion has credited TNA Wrestling for putting her on the map as a singles performer.
Reigning NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne appeared on the Battleground Podcast and addressed her upcoming title defense at Halloween Havoc and the impact of TNA Wrestling on her work ethic.
She stated that while she was presented as a tag team wrestler on NXT television, crossing over to TNA helped her establish herself as a singles wrestler.
“I feel like TNA helped put me on the map as a singles wrestler. I was always a tag wrestler in NXT. So when I jumped over to TNA, you know, I had a singles with Masha (Slamovich), and I feel like people were like, ‘Oh wait, Jacy can wrestle as a singles? Like I’ve never really seen that side of her.’ So I feel like that just opened a lot of doors and it got people talking, and it started giving me different types of opportunities.”
Jacy Jayne Is Set To Defend Her NXT Women’s Championship Against Tatum Paxley
Jacy Jayne will defend her NXT Women’s Championship against The Culling’s Tatum Paxley at NXT Halloween Havoc this Saturday.
Tatum Paxley won a 20-woman Battle Royal on the October 14, 2025, episode of NXT, which featured wrestlers from both NXT and TNA Wrestling.
Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley, and Jordynne Grace were the last three wrestlers in the ring, and Dame took herself out while trying to eliminate Grace, leaving Paxley as the last superstar in the ring and the new No.1 contender.
NXT Halloween Havoc will feature the first singles match between Tatum Paxley and Jacy Jayne, and it will be interesting to see who will walk out of the event as the NXT Women’s Champion.
