Jacy Jayne Recalls What She Learned From Mandy Rose in Toxic Attraction

During a recent interview with Denise Salcedo ahead of WWE Money in the Bank 2026, WWE Women’s United States Champion and Fatal Influence leader Jacy Jayne spoke about her time in Toxic Attraction and learning from her stablemate, Mandy Rose. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Jacy Jayne on What She Learned From Mandy Rose

“I learned how to be comfortable in my own skin. I learned that playing a character, per se, is not really going to play the way you think it is on screen. You more so have to find who you are and apply that to everything, in each situation. Mandy, honestly, really taught me that, because there is no one who is more confident and comfortable in their own skin than Mandy. She was always the nicest person backstage. She looks a certain way and you think she’s going to be a little bit of a b[****], but she’s the complete opposite. She would give the shirt off of her back to a stranger if she could. She really taught me how to act on-screen and off-screen.”

On When She Finally Started Piecing Things Together

“”I was on the indies, but I was on the indies for a very short amount of time, so I didn’t really have a big name coming in. I wasn’t some crazy athlete. I never went to college. I was literally just an indie wrestler. There was nothing super special about me. So I feel like I had to work 10 times harder to really figure things out and figure out who I am and how I’m going to fit into this group. I feel like it really wasn’t until late in Toxic Attraction when I started piecing it all together. Maybe in our second title reign, even maybe after we lost the titles. It was late. I feel like it was at least a year in where I was like, okay, I’m good. I’m feeling myself. I feel comfortable.”

Jacy Jayne competed in the women’s Money in the Bank match at last night’s premium live event. Tiffany Stratton was ultimately victorious, claiming the briefcase.
