As every year, the post-WrestleMania season has been accompanied by several debuts on the main roster from NXT. In this way, talents like Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and Sol Ruca have made the leap to the SmackDown and Raw brands. However, none of them has been received as Fatal Influence.

Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid made their debut on the April 24 episode of the blue brand to attack heavyweights of the women's division such as Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Paige, Brie Bella, and Rhea Ripley, which provoked a deafening reaction from the audience, who have not stopped booing them at each new appearance.

This reaction has led the WWE creative team to modify the plans for the faction, as revealed by the Wrestlevotes outlet in Fightful Select. With these changes, it is expected that Jacy Jayne will receive more prominence than originally planned for the group after their debut.

"Several people involved in the creative process have stated that they have modified some plans in the women's division to give more prominence to Jacy Jayne after the group's excellent performances"

Jayne and her team have become one of the focal points of the SmackDown women's division in recent weeks, leading them to share the ring and the spotlight with the most prominent women in the division, including WWE Champion Rhea Ripley, Tag Team Champions Paige and Brie Bella, and Jade Cargill, who made her return to television programming in the most recent episode of the blue brand.
