Jacy Jayne has commented on the recent change to her faction, Fatal Influence.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, reigning NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne addressed Jazmyn Nyx’s exit from Fatal Influence and WWE, and Lainey Reid taking her place.
While Jacy Jayne didn’t want to call Reid an upgrade, she had some high praises for her new partner and claimed she is a great worker.
“I think it’s still too soon to really say anything,” Jayne responded when asked if this is an improved version of Fatal Influence. “We had our first match, me and Lainey together, [on Tuesday]. Before that, we had had a singles match and I felt like we had great chemistry right off the bat.”
“I definitely think Lainey is a huge — I don’t want to say upgrade because that’s so mean, but, you know, she’s definitely going to fit the part and she’s going to do a good job. She’s a great worker. She’s like a sponge. She listens to everything. She takes everything in really well.” [H/T f4wonline]
Jacy Jayne Said She’s Used To New Partners, Referring To Toxic Attraction
Before she became the leader of Fatal Influence, Jacy Jayne was part of Toxic Attraction alongside Gigi Dolin and former NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose between 2021 and 2023.
However, the faction went through a change following Mandy Rose’s release from WWE in December 2022. Jacy Jayne would then go on to turn on Gigi Dolin in February 2023. Speaking on the same interview, Jayne claimed that she’s used to new partners, and one needs to be adaptable to succeed in the wrestling business.
“But, you know, I’m kind of used to new partners all the time,” she told Busted Open Radio. “This isn’t anything new to me. It’s all part of adapting. Things change all the time. This is show business — last-minute changes, things you never thought would happen, you just have to go with the flow and figure it out as you go.”
