Toxic Attraction addressed the WWE universe for the first time during the latest episode of WWE NXT 2.0. The all-new faction of Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne made their intentions known when they straightaway challenged Io Shirai and Zoey Stark for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Not just the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, but the trio also put the entire division on notice. They did not shy away from letting their intentions known. And the way Mandy Rose cut the promo, definitely solidified her as a strong leader of the two new NXT Superstars.

During the opening part of the segment, Mandy talked about the treatment she got from the WWE Universe previously, and how ridiculous it was for her.
She further added that Gigi and Jacy have made her realize that there is a beast behind her beauty which is waiting to be unleashed.
Later on, Jacy Jayne issued a challenge to Io Shirai and Zoey Stark. She said, “What Toxic Attraction wants is the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship. Zoey Stark and Io Shirai, we got an a**-kicking waiting for you, and trust me, you do not want to keep us waiting.”

Toxic Attraction is here to take over the WWE NXT Women’s Division
Soon after Toxic Attraction challenged Io Shirai and Zoey Stark, the NXT Women’s Tag Team champions were seen in an interview backstage. When asked about how they feel about this challenge, Io Shirai immediately accepted the challenge.
But Io Shirai’s tag team partner seemed unimpressed by her decision. Zoey Stark told Shirai that she feels that there must be a discussion between the two before agreeing to the challenge. However, Stark ultimately agreed to the challenge.
Even the official twitter handle of WWE NXT made a tweet, making the match official.

Altogether, what we feel is Toxic Attraction is what WWE wanted Absolution to be. However, the presentation and injuries didn’t really allow the company to test more waters with them. Either way, we finally have a faction that has a very strong potential and NXT 2.0 is the perfect home ground for them.
