Charlotte Flair Praises Jacy Jayne & Fatal Influence After SmackDown Upset

 

Charlotte Flair may have lost to Jacy Jayne on SmackDown, but the Queen isn’t holding back her respect for the rising faction Fatal Influence.

The Match

On May 1, Jacy Jayne scored a shocking singles victory over Flair — thanks to interference from her allies Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. The three‑on‑one advantage proved too much, handing Jayne her biggest win since moving up to the main roster.

Flair’s Response

Speaking on ESPN SportsCenter, Flair admitted she doesn’t like losing but praised the trio’s impact: “I see a bright future for Jacy Jayne, Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley. They made a big impact… people are talking, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do, even though they beat me. But revenge is in my future.”

The Bigger Picture

Fatal Influence’s arrival on SmackDown shows WWE’s faith in the group. Their feud with Flair — and now Rhea Ripley, who interrupted their post‑match attack — could catapult them into the spotlight.

Main Roster Challenges

History shows that not every NXT standout thrives on Raw or SmackDown. But WWE clearly believes Fatal Influence can break that trend, dropping them straight into battles with two of the division’s biggest names.

Final Thought

Charlotte Flair’s respect, mixed with her promise of revenge, sets the stage for a fiery feud. Fatal Influence has already made waves — now the question is whether they can keep the momentum against two of WWE’s most dominant women.

Stephanie Vaquer’s Setback: What’s Next for the Former Champion?

  Stephanie Vaquer’s WrestleMania debut was supposed to be the start of something big. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. In short order, she lost her WWE Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan, and things only spiraled further when Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked her backstage on Raw . That segment wasn’t just storyline chaos — it was WWE’s way of writing Vaquer off TV due to a legitimate injury. The Injury Timeline Reports confirm Vaquer will be out “for the foreseeable future.” Some sources cautiously suggested she might return by SummerSlam, while others speculated she could be back in as little as six weeks. But even the optimistic timeline was described as speculative, with no guarantees. A Rare Absence This marks the first time Vaquer has missed action since signing with WWE in 2024. Earlier this year, she battled through an ankle injury, wrestling only once per month leading into WrestleMania. It’s unclear whether her current setback is related to that ankle issue ...
