Gigi Dolin made her triumphant return to WWE NXT this week, reigniting her long-standing feud with former ally-turned-rival Jacy Jayne. The electrifying moment unfolded during the main event, where Fallon Henley, a key member of Fatal Influence, successfully defended her NXT Women’s North American Championship against Tatum Paxley. The real shock came post-match when Dolin stormed the ring, launching a brutal assault on the Fatal Influence trio: Henley, Jayne, and Jazmyn Nyx.
Dolin’s return marks her first televised appearance since March when she was sidelined with a knee injury. While her surprise comeback to TV left fans buzzing, Dolin had already made waves last weekend with her return to in-ring action at an NXT live event. Her fiery presence on Tuesday night confirmed she’s ready to shake up the dynamic NXT women’s division.
The storied history between Dolin and Jayne adds depth to this confrontation. The two were once an unstoppable force as part of the Toxic Attraction faction, dominating the NXT tag team scene for years. However, their partnership imploded in February 2023 when Jayne shockingly turned on Dolin, setting off one of the most personal rivalries in the division.
Why did Dolin’s return have a significant impact?
Dolin’s return couldn’t have come at a more exciting time for the NXT women’s roster. The division has been on a roll, bolstered by the recent arrivals of international stars like Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, and Zaria. These fresh talents have raised the stakes, but Dolin’s experience and determination position her as a fierce competitor in this evolving landscape.
As Fatal Influence continues to hold championship gold, Dolin’s path forward seems clear: settling the score with Jayne while pursuing the NXT Women’s North American Championship. With her sights set on reclaiming her place at the top, fans can expect fireworks as this rivalry reignites.
Dolin isn’t the only returning star shaking up the division. Nikkita Lyons also recently came back from injury, further energizing the roster. But with her dramatic reappearance and bold statement against Fatal Influence, Dolin has ensured that all eyes are on her as the women’s division heats up.
