Charlotte Flair Battles Jacy Jayne

The SmackDown after WrestleMania 42 saw a huge change with the arrival of the NXT faction Fatal Influence. Jacy Jayne and her cohorts, Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley, interrupted a high-profile tag team match between Brie Bella and Paige and Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Later that night, Jayne had her first match on SmackDown against new WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, delivering a stellar bout. However, Flair was not happy with the newcomers and decided to teach them a lesson. It was later announced that she and Jacy Jayne would face off in a singles match on SmackDown this week.
