The stable originally formed in August 2021. During their time together, Rose held the NXT Women's Championship for 413 days and unified the NXT UK Women's Championship into the NXT Women's Championship, while Dolin and Jayne held the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship for a record-tying two times. Toxic Attraction was at the forefront of the NXT women's division during the NXT 2.0 era until Rose was released in December 2022 and after Jayne turned on Dolin following an unsuccessful attempt at the NXT Women's Championship in February 2023. After the breakup, the two women would feud until the end of May.

On the July 13, 2021, episode of NXT, Mandy Rose, who had been performing on WWE's main roster, returned to the NXT brand and was paired with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne.[1][2] The trio established themselves as heels and Rose debuted a new dark-haired look.[3] The following week, the trio named themselves "Toxic Attraction".[4]

Following this, Rose began feuding with NXT Women's Champion Raquel González, while Dolin and Jayne began feuding with Io Shirai and Zoey Stark over the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship. At NXT: Halloween Havoc, Dolin and Jayne won a ladder match to win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, while Rose defeated González for the NXT Women's Championship, marking Rose's first title in her career and making Toxic Attraction the first stable to simultaneously hold all the titles in the NXT women's division in one night.[5][6]

Breakup and feud (2022–2023)

edit

Dolin and Jayne would hold the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship for 158 days, losing it during the NXT Stand & Deliver Kickoff show to Dakota Kai and Raquel González.[7] They regained the titles three days later[8] and held it for 91 days, losing it at NXT: The Great American Bash against Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez.[9] Rose would hold the NXT Women's Championship for 413 days and, during her reign, she also won a triple threat match at the 2022 Worlds Collide event against NXT UK Women's Champion Meiko Satomura and Blair Davenport to unify both championships.[10] On the December 13, 2022, episode of NXT, Rose lost her title to Perez.[11] The next morning, Rose was released from WWE due to allegations of explicit content being posted on her FanTime page.[12] This in turn made Toxic Attraction a standard tag team of Dolin and Jayne.

At NXT: New Year's Evil on January 10, 2023, Dolin and Jayne were declared co-winners of a 20-woman battle royal after eliminating each other simultaneously, earning an NXT Women's Championship match against Perez in a triple threat match at NXT Vengeance Day,[13] where both women failed to win the title.[14] Three days later on the February 7 episode of NXT, during a "Ding Dong, Hello!" segment hosted by Bayley, Jayne turned on Dolin, ending Toxic Attraction.[15] The two then entered a feud where Dolin defeated Jayne at Roadblock in March, but Jayne won the rematch in May. In the rubber match to end their feud, Dolin defeated Jayne in a Weaponized Steel Cage match on the May 30 episode of NXT.
