Women’s United States champion Jacy Jayne is set to make her first appearance in the Money in the Bank ladder match with hopes of grabbing the briefcase and earning herself a world title shot.
As far as her strategy goes, Jayne wasn’t exactly going to share that plan with OutKick Dropkick.

“I definitely have a strategy. I’m not going to tell you what it is,” she 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.
“I’m ready to climb that ladder and be ‘JC in the Bank.'”
Jayne isn’t exactly looking too far ahead into a potential women’s champion she’s targeting. Right now, Stephanie Vaquer is the women’s world champion and Chelsea Green is the WWE women’s champion.
Green would be the optimal target given both wrestlers are on the SmackDown roster. But Jayne made it clear everyone is a target.
“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,” she said. “I want people to be paranoid – terrified, paranoid, all of the above.
“I want to be the most obnoxious human being alive with this briefcase.”
It wasn’t that long ago when Jayne was the NXT women’s champion. She told OutKick Dropkick in the spring she was ready for a main roster call-up. In April, Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid each made their SmackDown debuts.

Jayne proved she was more than ready to get to the main roster.
“When you believe in yourself, you can accomplish crazy things,” she said. “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 won the women’s U.S. title against Tiffany Stratton and later saw her Fatal Influence stablemates – Henley and Reid – win tag team titles as well.
She said she felt like a “proud mom” seeing them get some gold for themselves.
“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,” she told OutKick Dropkick. “I feel like I’ve seen them also struggle and doubt themselves. Everyone has their ups and downs, it’s inevitable. 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 will be competing in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match on Saturday. She goes up against Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton in that match to see who will become an immediate contender for the world title.
The premium live event takes place Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and can be seen on ESPN Unlimited at 6 p.m. ET.
