Jazmyn Nyx Leaves WWE NXT After Backstage Exit

Jazmyn Nyx was written off WWE television and is set to leave the company after a backstage attack angle on Tuesday night’s episode of NXT, according to reports. The 27-year-old NXT performer was shown unconscious backstage during the broadcast and her on-screen partners in the Fatal Influence faction, NXT Womens Champion Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley, walked away from the scene, signaling the end of her role in the group.

The segment unfolded during an interview with JeVon Evans when the camera cut to medical staff tending to Nyx after an off-camera assault. Jayne and Henley arrived and, rather than express concern, Jayne told Henley that "it was time we dropped her anyway" and added "only the strong survive." The pair then left Nyx on the floor, a moment that aired as a storyline expulsion from Fatal Influence. The televised beat followed the group's loss last week at the NXT Homecoming special in a six-woman tag match that had deepened tensions among the trio.

Reports say the on-screen exit corresponds with a real-life departure. Those accounts indicate Nyx, whose given name is Jade Gentile, will not be promoted to WWE's main roster and is not leaving because of injury. WWE...
