WWE has decided that Jacy Jayne, the current NXT Women’s Champion, will continue on the WWE NXT brand for the foreseeable future, despite ongoing speculation about a promotion to the main roster. Talk of an imminent move for Jayne follows recent main roster appearances by other NXT stars, but plans have now shifted for Jayne and her fellow competitor, Blake Monroe, keeping both on NXT at least through the coming months as the brand transitions toward its next stage.
Recent Decisions on Jacy Jayne and Blake Monroe
Over the past weeks, WWE reportedly considered bringing Jacy Jayne and Blake Monroe, both prominent women’s division stars, up to Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown. However, reports from Fightful suggest that these moves are not expected to take place in the immediate future. Jayne, who has held the NXT Women’s Championship and has seen a standout 2025 highlighted by her achievements, including a stint as TNA Knockouts World Champion, will remain a central figure in WWE NXT, preserving her momentum within the brand’s women’s division.
Blake Monroe, who lost her NXT Women’s North American title to Thea Hail on December 16 in an unexpected finish after a springboard senton mishap, was originally scheduled for a rematch at NXT New Year’s Evil. That rematch was canceled when Monroe attacked Hail backstage, leading to Monroe’s ejection from the event. Contrary to initial assumptions, Fightful noted that the decision to scrap the Monroe-Hail rematch was planned well ahead of the event.
NXT Storylines and Future Plans
BodySlam reports that Monroe will remain with the NXT roster, with new storylines in development set to run at least until Stand & Deliver in April. This indicates a commitment to continuing her feud and presence within the brand, alongside Jacy Jayne, who continues her reign as NXT Women’s Champion. Jayne’s recent accomplishments, including her TNA success, have brought an extra layer of recognition and prestige to her title defenses on NXT since 2021.
Main Roster Movements Impact NXT Landscape
While Jayne and Monroe are staying put, other NXT talents have recently made the leap to WWE’s flagship programs. Notable names such as Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, and Jordynne Grace have transitioned to Raw or SmackDown, while Oba Femi, after vacating the NXT Championship following his New Year’s Evil win, is also set to join the main roster. These moves create room for storyline and roster development within NXT, maintaining interest as established stars like Jayne and Monroe remain key figures for at least several more months.
The decision to retain Jacy Jayne as WWE NXT Women’s Champion ensures continuity and star power within the brand during a period of change, as the company fine-tunes its talent strategies. Fans can expect Jayne’s continued involvement on Tuesday nights, while anticipation remains high for future moves to the main roster for top NXT talents.
