Two out of three members are officially on SmackDown, but someone else stayed put on NXT.

Toxic Attraction members Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne have officially been moved from NXT to WWE's main roster.

The pair lost a non-title bout to current Women's Tag-Team Champs Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah on Friday's episode of SmackDown. During that match, Michael Cole noted that Dolin and Jayne plan to make a real impact on FOX going forwards.

Neither has been moved on WWE's official website yet, but that'll likely happen soon.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about all of this is that Mandy Rose, the leader of Toxic Attraction, didn't come to SmackDown with her stablemates. That could be a sure sign that Triple H plans to quietly split the group and try on Gigi/Jacy as a team without Mandy.

Rose has been NXT Women's Champion for just shy of one full year, and it doesn't look like WWE wants to end her run anytime soon either. Maybe Trips will let Mandy get to the 365-day mark, replace her as champ, then bring her over to SmackDown.

That's guesswork. For now, Dolin and Jayne are on their own and working shows as a duo.
