Strong Start From New WWE Main Roster Star Causing Creative Changes

Creative plans surrounding Fatal Influence have already begun to shift due to the crowd reactions the group has generated since arriving on SmackDown, according to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select.
Several people involved in the creative process have said that plans in the women’s division have been rearranged to feature Jacy Jayne more prominently following the group’s strong early performances. In her first few weeks on the main roster, Jayne has wrestled Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss.
Fatal Influence officially moved to SmackDown on April 24, interrupting a title match and immediately inserting themselves into the women’s division picture. The group consists of Jayne alongside Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.
Jayne, 30, is a former two-time NXT Women’s Champion whose second reign lasted 137 days before ending at NXT Stand & Deliver. She also held the TNA Knockouts World Championship during a 2025 stint with that company. She formed Fatal Influence in July 2024 alongside Henley and Jazmyn Nyx. Reid later replaced Nyx in the group.
