Jayne, who is from New Jersey, told Fox News Digital what performing at the Mecca meant to her.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s super special to me because I was a fan of wrestling growing up,” she said. “I\u2019ve been watching it my entire life, and anytime WWE was in town, I would get tickets. So, I\u2019ve been at MSG, Barclays Center, all of it. Now to perform there is crazy. It\u2019s very surreal.”<\/p>\n

Jayne will learn who will challenge for her title on Tuesday night as Lola Vice and Kendal Grey are set to go up against each other to determine the No. 1 contender spot.<\/p>\n

Saints and D\u2019Angelo are set to compete in a fatal four-way match with Ethan Page as they all vie for Hendry\u2019s championship belt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I love New York. Is the sky blue? This place is awesome,” Saints said. “Every time I come to New York, something happens where I\u2019m just so amazed and over the moon. It\u2019s just a great time, every single time. A great experience.”<\/p>\n

D\u2019Angelo also had high praise of the fans that flock to New York City.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s great man,” he told Fox News Digital. “I love the city every time I\u2019m here. The fans are great. I can\u2019t say enough nice things about the city. I got a couple buddies that live in Jersey<\/a> close by and when we come they\u2019ll take me to their favorite Italian spots here.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a great time every time.”<\/p>\n

“I love it here. I love being able to walk around and just sight see and not even have a plan and just walk outside and be like, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m gonna go do this,\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m going to walk over here,\u2019” she said. “There\u2019s always people around doing god knows what and, honestly, the food\u2019s amazing. Every time I\u2019m here, I have a great time. So, I\u2019m happy to be here.”<\/p>\n
