Fatal Influence join WWE SmackDown roster
Fatal Influence made quite the impression on their first night on SmackDown.
Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid all made their presence felt immediately on Friday, attacking Paige, Brie Bella, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair during a Women’s Tag Team title match. Later in the night, Rhea Ripley came out to talk about her match against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania when the trio interrupted her.
After Jayne, Henley, and Reid introduced themselves, Nick Aldis came out and welcomed the group to SmackDown. He made a match between Jayne and Ripley to take place right then and there. The two wrestled but the match ended in a disqualification when Henley and Reid entered the ring and attacked Ripley, giving Jayne an opening to lay out Ripley with the rolling encore.
Later backstage, Flair and Bliss were being checked on by medical when Ripley walked in, also hurt. She asked Flair if they had a problem. Bliss suggested that they all take on Fatal Influence together, but Flair instead said she would take on Jayne next week, quickly making it clear she wanted nothing to do with Ripley.
Fatal Influence was last seen on week one of WWE NXT Revenge, which saw Lola Vice retain the NXT Women’s Championship over Jayne.
