On the October 14, 2025, episode of WWE NXT, Lainey Reid was introduced as the newest member of the group Fatal Influence. The faction, which is led by Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley, welcomed Reid into their alliance during a segment that took place backstage.
The segment began with Jayne and Henley discussing the formation of their group. They stated that their goal was to take over the division and that they had been running it. They mentioned that while they had faced problems, their biggest issue was a person they had brought into the group, and that it was time to remove her. They added that the person who did so proved their loyalty.
Lainey Reid told Jayne and Henley that she considers them to be “titans” of the division. Reid explained that after a recent loss to Jayne, she realized that to succeed, she needed to follow their approach of “winning at all costs.”
This development provides context for the recent removal of Jazmyn Nyx from Fatal Influence. The group was originally a trio consisting of Jayne, Henley, and Nyx. Several weeks ago, Jayne and Henley turned on Nyx and removed her from the faction, leaving an open spot.
By aligning herself with Jayne and Henley, Reid confirmed she was the one who attacked Nyx, thereby proving her loyalty to them. After Reid made her intentions clear, Jacy Jayne formally welcomed her into Fatal Influence, making the group a trio once again.
