Jayne describes the opportunity as 'super cool.'
Jacy Jayne is two weeks into her reign as NXT Women's Champion and she successfully defended the belt on the June 10th NXT on The CW.
She is going to have a title defense at WWE's all-women's Premium Live Event, Evolution. It was announced that there will be four singles matches on NXT and those four winners will advance to a Fatal 4-Way. The winner of the four-way will challenge Jayne at the July 13th PLE.
While guest appearing on WWE - Die Woche, Jayne spoke about the opportunity and being the first talent announcement for the show.
“Oh, it’s super cool. I’m really excited about that. I remember watching the first Evolution pay-per-view, and I was like, ‘This is groundbreaking. An all-women’s show? WWE’s never done that before.' It’s been years since we’ve done that and you know, we always say, ‘NXT has the best women’s division in the entire world’ so, I’m so happy that they’re having NXT be a part of this so we can show what our division is all about to an audience that maybe hasn’t seen us yet, and the fact that I get to represent us on that show, that’s huge for me, and I’m really excited and I’m not taking it lightly.
Yeah, for sure (being the first name announced for Evolution lights a fire inside me). Definitely. Because I think everybody for a while was thinking, like, there were rumors about the Evolution pay-per-view but it didn’t get confirmed yet and then when it did get confirmed, there was rumors that NXT wasn’t even gonna be a part of it. Like, it was just gonna be a main roster show. So then, when they announced this this past Tuesday, everybody in the locker room is super happy about it. Just to have NXT be a part of that, that’s a huge win for us."
The title victory in May was Jayne's first singles title win in WWE. She previously held the NXT Women's Tag Team Titles twice.
