Jacy Jayne Looks Forward To “Breaking Out” Of Toxic Attraction

Following the exit of Mandy Rose last December, Toxic Attraction tried their best to stay afloat, but ultimately, Jacy Jayne decided to sink their ship for good.

After their partnership lingered on shaky terms for several weeks, Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin have officially separated. In the final segment of WWE NXT last week, the two gathered form a special edition of ” Ding Dong Hello” hosted by RAW star Bayley. As Jayne and Dolin appeared to patch up their friendship with a hug, Jayne had other ideas — delivering a superkick to her long-time tag team partner before busting Dolin’s head into the “Ding Dong Hello” door.

Following her shocking betrayal, Jacy Jayne issued a series of statements on Monday’s edition of Busted Open Radio. When asked about the buzz her actions generated inside the professional wrestling world, Jayne felt her actions were justified.

“I feel like being in Toxic Attraction, I was kind of always a third wheel. Everybody always talks about Mandy because she’d been here for so long. Everybody always watches everything she does. Then you have Gigi, who had a huge name on the indies before she came to NXT, and everybody kind of looked at me and was like, ‘Well, who the hell is that girl?’ So now for everybody to actually be paying attention and have my name in their mouths and now I’m the talk of the town, that’s huge for me. That’s all I’ve wanted for a really long time. So, I’m happy about it,” she said.

“It’s Jacy Jayne Time!”

Jayne continued, offering more insight into her decision to fully end Toxic Attraction, which primarily began after their leader — Mandy Rose — had been released from the company in mid-December. Jayne admitted the initial split wasn’t easy, but more than anything, she craved the opportunity to finally stand on her own.

“I think recently I’ve been starting to get more credit for everything, especially, honestly, after Mandy left. As sad as that whole situation was and we tried to make the most of it going forward, I feel like that kind of helps me break out of this Toxic Attraction shell,” Jayne explained. People were paying attention to me more and listening to what I had to say. I haven’t gotten a lot of credit while we’re all together, but now I’m starting to show my character and how much I’ve grown over the last year and a half, two years.”

“So, I think this was, honestly, my breakout moment. Even at Vengeance Day, it was kind of sink or swim for us. ‘Now you’re on your own, you have to prove that you can do it by yourself.’ So, I went into that match with that my frame you need to kill this performance, because if not, you don’t know what’s going to happen going forward.”

Peeling back the curtain a bit, Jayne revealed a lot of her recent actions were fueled by some real-life emotion. “I was trying to make a statement. So, when we were doing it, I wanted the cameras to get close to me to hear what I had to say in that moment. I feel like a lot of that was real. Obviously in this business, you need to, at some point, be selfish and put yourself first to get to that next level, and I want to be on that next level,” she explained. “I want people to take me seriously and see me as a heavy hitter in the women’s division. So, that’s what I did. I wanted to make a statement, I wanted to make an impact, and I did it in the best way I knew how.”

“I feel like this was really my breakout moment where now all eyes are on me, and I have the control to make my own destiny going forward. Obviously, I want to be at the top of the division. So, whoever I have to step on to get there, I’m going to do that.

Former Women’s Tag Team Champions Break Up On NXT

Toxic Attraction is no more.

It was only a matter of time before the team of Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne went their separate ways after their leader Mandy Rose was abruptly released from WWE.

The company had been teasing the breakup before the Vengeance Day special. They also booked the duo to challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT women’s championship at the show in a triple-threat match.

The tag team didn’t manage to dethrone Perez at the PPV. While their friendship somehow survived the event, it didn’t last for long after that.

WWE brought in Raw star Bayley to host her Ding Dong Hello talk show on NXT this week. The former women’s champion welcomed both Dolin and Jayne as her guests on in the main event of the show.

Toxic Attraction Is Done

The main roster star first asked the two about their differences and if they have thought about a singles career. However, she then suggested that the duo should stay together, emphasizing the importance of having each other’s back.

At first, it looked as if both the Toxic Attraction members have put their differences aside. They shared a hug but then Jacy Jayne attacked her partner.

She super-kicked Dolin and then shoved her head into the Ding Dong Hello door. The show ended with Jayne standing tall.

Toxic Attraction was formed when Mandy Rose was joined by Jayne and Dolin in July 2021. The trio dominated the NXT women’s division since their inception but it’s now time for them to go their separate ways.

Toxic Attraction Reacts to Mandy Rose’s Release from WWE

The wrestling world is still processing the news that Mandy Rose is no longer with WWE.

The release comes less than 24 hours after Rose dropped the NXT Women’s Championship to Roxanne Perez. The title change was a last-minute booking decision and not part of WWE’s original plans for this week’s NXT broadcast.

According to the initial report by Fightful, WWE made the call to fire Rose due to ‘adult’ content on her FanTime account that they felt violated the terms of her independent contractor agreement.

Rose was said to be blindsided by the release and did not expect WWE to take such drastic action in response to content that began circulating online over the past several days.

Wrestling fans have rallied behind Rose during this difficult time. Many have accused WWE of hypocrisy. She was fired for producing ‘adult content’ for her followers, but she’s been portrayed as a sex symbol throughout the entirety of her run.

Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jane React to Mandy Rose’s Release

Mandy Rose has yet to publicly address this situation, but some of her closest friends have.

Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, Rose’s partners in the Toxic Attraction faction, expressed their heartache regarding the situation on social media. They each tweeted ‘broken heart’ emojis.

AEW star Saraya also provided some support to Rose:

WWE Title Match Added to Upcoming Event

A WWE championship match has been added to a card set for early July.

The wrestling industry is no stranger to big title matches. WWE has plenty of gold, which means title matches are easy to come by.

There are also three brands under the WWE banner, all of which are on TV networks so there are championships galore.

This latest title match announcement is for NXT.

NXT Women’s Tag Titles On The Line

During the June 28 episode of NXT 2.0, new NXT Women’s Tag Team Title contenders were determined. Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade defeated Katana Chance and Kayden Carter to earn a title opportunity.

They will meet the current title holders, Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne) at NXT Great American Bash on July 5.

Dolin and Jayne are in their second run as the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. They’ve held the gold since April.

NXT Great American Bash will be held inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Check back on the SEScoops homepage for coverage of the event.

WWE Champion Possibly Injured During Tapings

One WWE superstar may have sustained an injury during a recent taping.

As they say in WWE, “this ain’t ballet.” There is a risk that superstars run every time they step inside the ring. Even doing routine moves can lead to serious injury, which is why the company advises fans not to try these acts at home.

For one NXT Champion, she may have been injured but it’s also possible she avoided anything serious.

Gigi Dolin’s Injury Scare

A spoiler report from PWInsider noted that there was a moment during a recent set of NXT tapings where Gigi Dolin was on the receiving end of a cannonball from Cora Jade. Gigi did not get up, so Cora pinned her immediately.

Gigi, one-half of the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, had to be helped to the back.

In some good news, the report noted that Gigi was out for a promo segment later and didn’t appear to show lingering effects.

With that said, she didn’t get physical during the segment.

Time will tell whether Gigi simply got the wind knocked out of her or if there’s something more serious at play.
