Jacy Jayne on US Title Win, Extended NXT Stay, & More | Notsam Wrestling

Sam Roberts interviews newly crowned WWE Women's United States Champion JC Jane about her recent title victory and main roster transition. Jane expresses how natural it feels to have championship gold again after her NXT run and reflects on the difference between developmental and main roster wrestling. She credits her approximately five-year stay in NXT—which she initially found frustrating—as essential to her current confidence and readiness, noting that had she been called up earlier, she likely would have struggled under the pressure. Jane describes how being in a tag team throughout most of her NXT career made her hunger for a singles opportunity, and when it finally arrived with her NXT Women's Championship opportunity, she was fully prepared to capitalize on it.

Jane discusses the immediate heat Fatal Attraction received upon debuting on SmackDown, attributing it partly to her comfort level as someone who spent considerable time being booed in NXT. She explains the practical difference between NXT and main roster: developmental allows more planning and preparation, while the main roster demands quick thinking and instinctual reactions to unexpected situations. When asked if she consciously worked to change people's perception of her after winning the NXT title and being labeled a "transitional champion," Jane confirms she used each performance as an opportunity to prove doubters wrong, eventually shocking both audiences and backstage personnel with her championship run.

Regarding Fatal Attraction's unprecedented success—with all three members now holding gold—Jane credits the group's chemistry to long-term friendships (she and Fallon have known each other for 10 years), complementary competitiveness, and mutual support. She describes their dynamic as everyone pushing each other to stay sharp rather than creating internal conflict. On her plans for the Women's United States Championship, Jane emphasizes wanting to elevate the title through strong matches and remind audiences of women's wrestling capabilities. She discusses her wrestling influences from the Attitude Era (The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Randy Orton) and how she synthesizes elements from multiple performers rather than copying one style. Finally, Jane addresses her comfort as a genuine heel performer, explaining that in modern wrestling where performers often seek crowd approval, thriving on authentic boos is valuable and relatively rare.
