NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne defeated Masha Slamovich at TNA Slammiversary 2025 to capture the TNA Knockouts World Championship. This monumental victory not only crowns Jayne as a double champion but also marks a historic moment in the burgeoning partnership between TNA and WWE, as she becomes the first active WWE/NXT Superstar to hold a major TNA championship.
The highly anticipated "Winner Takes All" encounter at the UBS Arena in New York lived up to its billing, with both the NXT Women's Championship and the TNA Knockouts World Championship on the line. Masha Slamovich, known for her relentless aggression and undeniable prowess, brought the fight to Jayne in a brutal contest that saw both competitors push each other to their limits.

Jayne, accompanied by her Fatal Influence stablemates, had to contend with the numbers game throughout the match. While her allies attempted to interfere, Slamovich, fighting alone, showcased incredible resilience, at one point even having Jayne pinned while the referee was incapacitated. However, the cunning and opportune nature of Jayne ultimately prevailed. In a controversial finish, Jayne capitalized on a distracted referee and the lingering effects of the interference, delivering a vicious right hook to Slamovich before securing the pinfall.
This triumph solidifies Jacy Jayne's meteoric rise in professional wrestling. Having shockingly defeated Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Women's Championship recently, and successfully defending it against Jordynne Grace at WWE Evolution 2, Jayne has now added another prestigious title to her impressive resume. Her reign as a double champion opens up a myriad of possibilities for cross-promotional storytelling, leaving fans eager to see how both TNA and WWE will navigate this unprecedented landscape.
The victory at Slammiversary 2025 further cements the significance of the TNA-WWE partnership, demonstrating the potential for compelling narratives and fresh matchups that transcend traditional company boundaries. As Jacy Jayne now carries the gold of both promotions, the future of the women's wrestling scene has undoubtedly become even more exciting and unpredictable.
