Jacy Jayne Targets Money in the Bank Briefcase at WWE Event

Jacy Jayne will compete in WWE's Women's Money in the Bank ladder match as the reigning Women's United States Champion, seeking a contract that could provide a future world title opportunity. The match features Jayne, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.

According to interviews with Sports Yahoo and Fox News, Jayne entered WWE after pursuing wrestling from childhood and later became a key figure in NXT before moving to SmackDown. She won the Women's United States Championship after defeating Tiffany Stratton.

"I was a wrestling fan my entire life. I started watching wrestling when I was 6, so I feel like I planned my whole life getting to WWE," Jayne said.

Jayne moved to Florida in 2017 to train and signed with WWE in 2021. She said WWE's Performance Center required her to adjust her approach to match the company's style.

"When I got to the Performance Center, I felt like I had to erase everything I knew about wrestling and relearn it all over again," Jayne said.

"WWE has a very specific way that they like things. So in order to get on TV, you have to adapt to their style — and it is a completely different style," Jayne said.

Jayne rose through NXT as part of Toxic Attraction with Mandy Rose and Gigi Dolin, winning championships before the group separated. She later led Fatal Influence and became NXT Women's Champion before reaching the main roster.

"It was the start of 2.0, which was a whole new show, essentially," Jayne said about her early NXT opportunity.

She also described the setbacks that followed changes in her career, including the end of Toxic Attraction and the pressure of maintaining her WWE position.

"It's inevitable that you're going to have lows in this business," Jayne said.

Before entering Money in the Bank, Jayne said she had studied her opponents and prepared a strategy while keeping details private.

"I definitely have a strategy. I’m not going to tell you what it is," Jayne said.

"You gotta watch the match to find out. But I know all the girls in this match very, very well. I’ve been working with them for years.

So, I’ve definitely been watching tape back to refresh my memory, like, this person moves like this. This person does this, let me watch out for that," Jayne said.

She said winning the briefcase would allow her to create uncertainty for potential opponents.

"I'm ready to climb that ladder and be 'JC in the Bank,'" Jayne said.

"Everyone’s a target. I want to keep everyone’s head on a swivel. I want them to not know what way I’m coming, when I’m coming. I might pretend I’m going to cash in 52 times before I actually cash in," Jayne said.

"I want to be the most obnoxious human being alive with the briefcase," Jayne said.

Jayne previously said she questioned her WWE future before winning the NXT Women's Championship and later becoming a main roster champion.

"When you believe in yourself, you can accomplish crazy things. You almost fake it ‘til you make it in a way. I knew I was ready.

There were times in the past that I was like, ‘I’m ready, I’m ready,’ but I wasn’t ready. This time, I really knew I was ready and when I got that opportunity, I was not going to lighten up," Jayne said.

Jayne also reflected on the importance of holding championship gold after moving to SmackDown.

"Oh, I love it. You know, it felt really weird not having a title, because I had a title for so long before I came up [to SmackDown]. I felt naked, like, ‘Ugh, I don’t feel like me.’ Then I won this off Tiffany Stratton and I feel whole again," Jayne said.

She praised Fatal Influence members Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid after they captured tag team titles.

"I felt like a, especially with Lainey because she’s so new coming into this (and) hasn’t been wrestling that long, I felt like a proud mom watching her win the title. I feel like I’ve seen them also struggle and doubt themselves. Everyone has their ups and downs. So, when you see people that you care about get to the next level and win, it’s very special and I’m glad to be a part of it," Jayne said.
