NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne made an impression at the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia when she entered at #24 for her long-awaited main roster debut.
Jayne had been passed over for the last three Rumbles, so finally getting the chance to compete on one of WWE’s biggest stages meant a lot.
But getting ready for the match wasn’t just about training. In a recent interview on Busted Open Radio with Bully Ray, Jayne shared that her gear had to go through a strict approval process and her first design was rejected.
“So you couldn’t show arms, legs. They wanted full bodysuit, nothing that accentuates anything, that was basically it. But it was weird because you had to put in like a request like, so you had to have your seamstress like draw out a design for corporate to approve it,” Jayne explained.
According to Jayne, the outfit wasn’t anything extreme. It was a red bodysuit inspired by her usual gear, with chains added to match her look. Still, she was told no.
“It wasn’t crazy,” she said. “It was just like a red bodysuit, and it had chains like my regular gear, but made into a bodysuit. And they’re like, ‘No red, no chains, no black straps.’”
When Bully Ray asked why red wasn’t allowed, Jayne said she assumed it might have been because the Bellas were already planning to wear that color.
“I think it was because the Bella twins were there and they were in red. I’m assuming that’s why I never actually asked why. It’s fine. I’ll let the Bella twins do their thing,” she said.
WWE’s Charlotte Flair Also Found Her Saudi Arabia Attire Difficult
Jacy Jayne is not the only one who has dealt with outfit challenges. Charlotte Flair recently talked about how tough it can be to wrestle in full bodysuits during Saudi Arabia shows. On The Nikki & Brie Show, she admitted that the tight suits can make moves harder to pull off.
“Y’all, I’m going to be honest, it is not easy wrestling in those one-pieces. On Friday night, I had a different one on, and I had to—the hot tag, I had to climb up to do a crossbody, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t get my leg up,’ because the pants were so tight! It was hard,” Flair said.
“It almost stretched out my whole suit and then it felt baggy. But then I was like, ‘Wait, it’s not going to split open, right?’ It was all weird,” she added.
Brie Bella also agreed, saying kneepads and tight material can make things uncomfortable and even risky if the gear stretches too much.
