'4 years of sitting around WAITING for a championship opportunity. 4 years of busting my ass day in & day out…just to STILL be an after thought. No more. I'm making my opportunity & I'm taking it. Because now it's personal. See you Tuesday,' Jacy Jayne tweeted. For most of last night on NXT, Fallon Henley seemed to be envious of her faction member. Henely constantly kept saying that she deserves the title shot over Jayne. Even during the match, both members of Fatal Influence were not on the same page.

Jayne capitalized and hit the Discuss Punch to win her first single's championship on NXT. Henley took to Twitter to share that the reason she helped her faction member win the title was because the team, Fatal Influence always comes first.

Before that, she was to defend her NXT Women's Championship against Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayn in the main event of this week's NXT. Vaquer faced stacked odds in this title match as Dalys and Chik Tormenta attempted to interfere. In addition, Fatal Influence's Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx lingered at ringside and weren't afraid to interfere as well. Their involvement, however, proved to be pivotal.

3 top moments of Carmella's impeccable WWE career before her surprising release
(Image Via WWE) Carmella had an incredible WWE career before she was released from the company this year. One of the top and most exciting WWE superstars that fans loved was Carmella. The Princess of Staten Island began her run in WWE NXT as a manager to a tag team. In 2016, she was called up to the main roster on SmackDown to begin her singles journey. In doing so, Mella carved out a top-notch career, winning multiple championships and accolades. However, in a surprising turn of events, Carmella was released from WWE this year amidst her recovery from an injury during her maternity leave. With Mella on a different path now, here is a look back at three of the greatest moments from her WWE career: 3. WrestleMania 35 victory Much like many WWE superstars, Carmella also had her big WrestleMania moment in her career. It came in 2019 when she competed in the Women's Battle Royal in the WrestleMania 35 pre-show. Mella competed alongside an array of top-tier competitors. She last tossed out Sarah Logan to clinch the coveted trophy to a huge ovation from the crowd in MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. 2. Two-time Money in the Bank winner Carmella created history with the Money in the Bank. In 2017, she became the inaugural winner of the ladder match at the namesake pay-per-view. However, the victory was controversial as her cohort, James Ellsworth, climbed the ladder and dropped the briefcase in Carmella's hands. This led to her being stripped of the win, and another ladder match was contested a week later on SmackDown. Mella once again climbed to the top and retrieved it, winning the match twice. In doing so, the Princess of Staten Island etched her name in the history books in a span of a week. 1. SmackDown Women's Champion After winning the Money in the Bank ladder match, Carmella tried to cash in her golden opportunity on numerous occasions, but could not get the job done. She even broke the record of holding the Money in the Bank briefcase for 287 days. On the SmackDown after WrestleMania 34, Mella's time finally came. After the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair was attacked by the debuting team, The IIconics, Carmella rushed to the ring to cash in her contract. One timely kick on a beaten-down Flair was all it took for Mella to win her one and only Women's Championship in WWE.

WWE Is Planning To Call-Up Top NXT Stars: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This week's episode of WWE NXT, on May 27, 2025, delivered a shocking conclusion to Stephanie Vaquer's reign as NXT Women's Champion, as she lost the title to Jacy Jayne of Fatal Influence. This unexpected title change left many WWE fans searching for answers. Still, a report suggests main roster call-ups are imminent for Vaquer and fellow NXT competitor Jordynne Grace, potentially explaining the sudden shift. Vaquer had established herself as a dominant force since her arrival in NXT. The 32-year-old captured the NXT Women's Title in March 2025. Fans expected a lengthy and impactful reign, making her loss to Jayne this week surprising and raising questions about the booking decision. According to Cory Hays, a notable insider from PW Nexus, WWE has plans to move Vaquer to the main roster. She is reportedly "rumored to become a mainstay on WWE RAW and, hence, lost the title to Jayne." In addition to Vaquer's expected move, Hays noted that the promotion also "plans to move Jordynne Grace to the main roster as well," with Grace "reported to move to the Blue Brand [SmackDown] when things are finalized."

WWE/Getty Images More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation It remains unclear if these main roster transitions will occur via a yet-to-be-announced 2025 WWE Draft, or through direct signings by General Managers Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis, similar to the recent arrivals of Roxanne Perez and Giulia. Vaquer officially signed with WWE in 2024 and was immediately tabbed as a talent to watch closely on the NXT brand. She quickly risen up the ranks, earning a shot at the NXT Women's North American Championship. At NXT Vengeance Day earlier this year (February 2025), Vaquer defeated Fallon Henley to capture that title, marking the beginning of her first championship reign in WWE. During her impressive run as the NXT Women's North American Champion, Vaquer found herself in a high-stakes confrontation with Giulia, who held the NXT Women's Championship at the time. The two champions agreed to a monumental Winner Takes All Match at NXT Roadblock in March 2025. Vaquer emerged victorious from that pivotal match against Giulia, becoming the first woman in NXT history to simultaneously hold both the NXT Women's Championship and the NXT Women's North American Championship, cementing her top-star status before this week's title loss. Vaquer also made an impactful appearance on RAW last month, challenging Women's World Champion IYO SKY, while Grace has prior main roster exposure through two Women's Royal Rumble match appearances.
