Taylor Grado (born June 2, 1996) is an American professional wrestler signed to WWE where she performs on the NXT brand under the ring name Jacy Jayne and is a member of the Fatal Influence stable.
[4] Grado made her televised debut on the September 23, 2020 episode of NXT during which she competed in a Number One Contender Battle Royal won by Candice LeRae.
[5] On the debut episode of NXT 2.0 on September 14, Jayne and Gigi Dolin faced Carter and Catanzaro in a tag-team match, which ended in no contest after Mandy Rose interfered, during which she debuted a new dark-haired look, and they subsequently wrestled Carter, Catanzaro and Sarray in a six-woman tag team match, in which Rose, Dolin and Jayne emerged victorious.
[6] She quickly joined the women's stable Toxic Attraction led by Mandy Rose in 2021, thus establishing herself as a heel in the process.
[7] At NXT: Halloween Havoc, Dolin and Jayne defeated Shirai and Stark and Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta in a Scareway to Hell Ladder triple threat tag team match for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, marking the first championship wins for both Dolin and Jayne in the company.
After the titles were vacated, Dolin and Jayne participated in a Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match on the August 2 episode of NXT 2.0, against Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley, Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz, and Katana Chance and Kayden Carter.
On the August 19 episode of SmackDown, Jayne made her main roster debut alongside Dolin as participants in the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament.
Dolin and Jayne made their return to SmackDown in a losing effort against new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez.
Their feud finally culminated on the May 30 episode of NXT, where Dolin defeated Jayne in a Weaponized Steel Cage match.
[30] On the July 9 episode of NXT, Jayne formed an alliance with Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx, who took issue with wrestlers with no independent backgrounds getting more opportunities in NXT[31] (with Nyx given an exception by Jayne and Henley despite having never competed in the independent circuit herself)[32] and eventually calling themselves Fatal Influence.
[34] Since September, Fatal Influence had set their sights on the NXT Women's North American Championship held by Kelani Jordan.
