WWE NXT Champion Jacy Jayne faced a surprising defeat this week, potentially affecting her momentum as she prepares for a pivotal match at Slammiversary. The loss comes just weeks ahead of her Winner Takes All bout against TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich at the July 20th pay-per-view event in Long Island, New York.
A Recent Setback Following a Strong Title Defense
Jayne recently maintained her championship by overcoming Jordynne Grace at WWE Evolution 2025, aided unexpectedly by Blake Monroe, the leader of Fatal Influence. This victory set the stage for her high-stakes clash with Slamovich, who has been a formidable opponent since defeating Jayne on the March 27th episode of TNA Impact Wrestling.
Their rivalry continued this week on NXT in a six-woman tag team match. Fatal Influence, including Jayne, went up against Sol Ruca, Zaria, and Slamovich in the main event. The contest descended into chaos after interference from The Culling, with allies Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley engaging with Sol Ruca and Zaria, while NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank took on the men from The Culling.
Amid the turmoil, Slamovich seized the opportunity, performing her finishing move, the Snow Plow, on Jayne after taking out Fallon Henley, which secured her a crucial win ahead of the Slammiversary event.
Masha Slamovich’s Statement Ahead of the Title Unification Clash
With her recent NXT victory, Slamovich now holds both the TNA Knockouts Championship and the NXT Women’s Championship simultaneously. During a brief moment post-match, she displayed both titles, underscoring the significance of their upcoming match at Slammiversary.
In a striking gesture, Slamovich handed the NXT Women’s Championship belt to her Fatal Influence teammate, signaling a shift of power and heightened tension before the battle between her and Jayne on July 20th.
Jacy Jayne appeared visibly unsettled by this act, marking her second consecutive loss to Slamovich. This development raises questions about how Jayne will regroup with the Slammiversary showdown so close, putting her career and legacy as a WWE NXT Women’s Champion on the line.
