At Stand and Deliver, Lola Vice got her long-overdue reward, in the shape of Jacy Jayne’s “NXT” Women’s Championship. To dethrone a dominant force like Jayne isn’t any small feat, and if the accomplishment itself is indicative of the longer term, then Vice could thoroughly be in for a lengthy reign because the “NXT” Women’s Champion. On the flip side: With Jayne having reached the head of excellence in “NXT,” is it time for her to move as much as the hallowed fundamental roster? What’s going to grow to be of her lackeys, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid, who only debuted on the “NXT” roster in 2024? Where does Kendal Grey, arguably WWE’s hottest rising star, fit into all of this?
Breaking down Stand and Deliver’s finish leads us to a couple of conclusions. First, Jayne might be fundamental roster certain. Not only has she peaked in “NXT,” having won the “NXT” Women’s Championship twice (and sporting lengthy reigns each times), the incontrovertible fact that Vice pinned Jayne in such a definitive fashion shouldn’t have Jayne any opportunity to contest the outcomes of the match. Jayne might attempt to challenge for the title yet another time, just to provide the story an airtight ending? Afterwards, though, it’s pretty secure to say that Jayne is fundamental roster-bound. I am unable to say the identical for Henley and Reid. Henley still has a lot to do in “NXT,” and Reid is just not able to stand on her own yet, nevermind hang with the fundamental roster. If Jayne does stick around for a bit longer to challenge for Vice’s recent title, I can imagine they’d tie up the Fatal Influence storyline there.
Where Stand and Deliver’s finish closed the books on Jayne, it opened a brand new chapter in the shape of Vice and Grey. Grey was not involved in the choice that gave Vice her title, and given Grey’s incredible success in “NXT,” I’d bet good money that WWE will run Vice and Grey in some unspecified time in the future this yr. The 2 of them had a halfway decent match to come to a decision Jayne’s Number One Contender on the March 31 episode of “NXT,” and technically, the results of that match was never definitively wrapped up. That would easily be a sticking point when WWE resolve to run Vice and Grey back. Whether lightning will strike twice for Vice, nonetheless…
Within the time between, there are many women ready and willing for a likelihood on the “NXT” Women’s Championship. Henley, Kelani Jordan, Jaida Parker, Reid are viable “NXT” contenders for the brand new champion, and with “NXT’s” partnership with TNA, the chances grow to be much more limitless. The era of Vice is now.
