During the WWE NXT: Stand & Deliver event, a wardrobe malfunction involving champion Jacy Jayne led to multiple broadcast blackouts. The incident occurred during Jayne's Triple Threat title defense against Lola Vice and Kendal Grey. The live broadcast was
interrupted several times, causing confusion among viewers. The blackouts were reportedly due to a wardrobe malfunction when Grey had Jayne in an ankle submission, leading to unintended exposure on camera. Despite these interruptions, the match continued, with Jayne maintaining control for significant portions. However, Lola Vice ultimately won the match, securing the NXT Women's Championship. This event followed a controversial No. 1 contender's match the previous week, which had already raised questions from head of creative Shawn Michaels.
