Perspective
On the July 9 episode of NXT, Jayne and Nyx formed an alliance with Henley, who took issue with wrestlers with no independent backgrounds getting more opportunities in NXT[4] (Nyx was given an exception by Jayne and Henley despite having never competed in the independent circuit herself)[5] and then began calling themselves Fatal Influence the following month.[6] The trio teamed up for the first time at Week 1 of NXT: The Great American Bash on July 30, where they defeated Karmen Petrovic, Lola Vice, and Sol Ruca in a six-woman tag team match.[7] Beginning in September, Fatal Influence set their sights on the NXT Women's North American Championship held by Kelani Jordan. At NXT Halloween Havoc on October 27, Jordan faced Fatal Influence in a gauntlet match for the NXT Women's North American Championship. Henley defeated Jordan to win the title as the third person in the gauntlet (with Nyx and Jayne as the first and second persons in the gauntlet), winning her first singles championship in her wrestling career.[8] Fatal Influence would soon after begin feuding with Tatum Paxley, Shotzi, and Jayne's former tag team partner and friend Gigi Dolin, with the two teams facing each other at NXT: New Year's Evil in a six-woman tag team match with Fatal Influence coming out on the losing end.[9] At NXT Vengeance Day on February 15, 2025, Henley lost the NXT Women's North American Championship to Stephanie Vaquer, ending her reign at 111 days.[10]
Over the next few months, there were signs of dissension within Fatal Influence, particularly between Jayne and Henley. On the May 27 episode of NXT, Jayne defeated Stephanie Vaquer to win the NXT Women's Championship.[11] On July 20, at Slammiversary, Jayne defeated Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) Masha Slamovich in a Winner Takes All match to retain her NXT Women's Championship and also become the TNA Knockouts World Champion, becoming a double champion and the first wrestler, and the first woman, to hold championships in both WWE and TNA simultaneously.[12] At NXT Heatwave on August 24, Jayne lost the TNA Knockouts World Championship to Ash by Elegance in a triple threat match also involving Slamovich, whom Ash pinned, after interference from The Elegance Brand, ending her reign at 35 days.[13] Following this, Nyx was singled out by Jayne as the weakest member of the stable, as Fatal Influence would go on a losing streak. On the September 23 episode of NXT, Nyx was found attacked backstage. This led to her expulsion from Fatal Influence after she was abandoned by Jayne and Henley.[14] A day later, Nyx announced that she will not sign a new WWE contract due to injuries suffered during her time there and being unhappy with the new contract offered.[15] At NXT No Mercy on September 27, Jayne successfully defended the NXT Women's Championship from Lola Vice after assistance from a hooded individual[16] later revealed to be Lainey Reid.[17], who also revealed she attacked Jazmyn Nyx, believing her to be dead weight to the group.
