• WWE Considering Female Champion For Main Roster Call-Up After “Sink Or Swim” Test
Jacy Jayne’s rise in NXT is being treated internally less as a breakout moment and more as a test she passed. Discussions within WWE have recently revisited Jayne as a potential main-roster addition, following what NXT decision-makers viewed as a strong response to increased responsibility in 2025. According to Fightful Select, Jayne’s name has come up again in conversations about a main roster call-up.
Jayne’s championship run changed how she was viewed. After years spent largely in tag teams and mid-card roles, she was positioned as NXT Women’s Champion in what sources described as a “sink or swim” scenario. Those familiar with the situation said she delivered when the spotlight shifted, which has kept her firmly on the radar beyond NXT.
Interest in Jayne is not new. WWE officials first took notice following her appearance on SmackDown in August 2022, an outing that left a positive impression at the time. Since then, her name has resurfaced periodically whenever internal discussions turned to potential call-ups.
Now, with her 2025 body of work complete and her credibility as a singles performer more firmly established, Jayne is again being evaluated as someone who could transition to the main roster if timing and creative needs align.
On this week’s NXT New Year’s Evil, Jacy defeated WWE Evolve Women’s Champion Kendal Grey to retain the NXT Women’s Championship.

• Update On Stephanie Vaquer’s Status As Women’s World Champion After Injury
WWE is not preparing for a title vacancy following Stephanie Vaquer’s recent injury. Despite visible concern after this week’s RAW, there is no expectation internally that Vaquer will be forced to relinquish the Women’s World Championship. A report from PWInsider indicates that while the injury is legitimate, it is not viewed as serious enough to disrupt long-term plans.
Vaquer’s condition became a focal point after an on-screen attack by Raquel Rodriguez sparked speculation that the angle may have been designed to write her out. That is not the case. WWE officials reportedly consider the situation manageable and described it as the type of issue talent frequently works through.
Stephanie used a walking boot rather than a cast and was physically involved on television, both of which are viewed internally as positive indicators. Those factors have allowed WWE to maintain flexibility with her booking rather than pivoting to emergency plans.
As things stand, WWE believes Vaquer’s reign can continue and she will be ready to return to action after a few weeks.
