The ending of last week’s episode of WWE NXT got a lot of people talking, when WWE officially pulled the trigger on the breakup of Toxic Attraction.
In the segment, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne appeared on Bayley’s Ding Dong Hello show, before Jacy dropped Gigi with a Superkick, before tossing her through the door on the set.
The angle naturally drew comparisons to the iconic break up of the Rockers on the Barber Shop, not a coincidence considering who is booking NXT right now.
In an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Jacy discussed the moment, and what she knew going into the day.
She said:
“I actually didn’t really know much going into that day, they were kind of very hush-hush about everything happening.
“All I really knew was that was going to be on Ding Dong Hello. So that’s a lot of pressure having Bayley come back. It was the first time she even had that show in like two years. It was also the first time it was ever in front of a live audience because that was always done during the pandemic era. So I feel like there was a lot of pressure going into that alone.
“Then, kind of getting Shawn’s blessing to re-do some history there. That was a big deal for me. I didn’t want to mess it up. I didn’t want to screw up. I wanted to make a memory.
“I think everybody knew Toxic Attraction was going to explode soon, but to make it memorable, we had to go big. So we wanted it to be vicious. We wanted it to be memorable. We wanted people to talk about it, not just something like ‘Oh, that was a good segment. Yeah, whatever. Now they’re by themselves.’ Like, no, we want people to remember this and be like, ‘Oh, this is a new coming for two new superstars on a solo route.’”
Jacy is set to explain her actions from last week on tomorrow night’s NXT show.
