Fatal Influence have quickly established themselves on Friday Night SmackDown following Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid's full-time main roster debuts following WrestleMania 42.
The faction was booed out of the building during their debut and the boos have remained strong in the weeks since April 24, with Fatal Influence having been booked strongly too. Jayne faced WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley on the post-WrestleMania 42 episode of SmackDown, then Jayne picked up a win over Charlotte Flair on May 1. Fatal Influence defeated Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss in trios action on May 8.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select has reported that WWE's plans for Fatal Influence have already begun to change following the strong crowd reactions for the stable. The plans that have been rearranged involve Jacy Jayne being featured more prominently on WWE programming after Fatal Influence's strong start on SmackDown.
Jacy Jayne had been a top star on WWE NXT prior to Fatal Influence's main roster call-up. She is a two-time NXT Champion, one-time TNA Knockouts World Champion, and two-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion.
