Damage CTRL is going through a lot of ups and downs on WWE Smackdown, as of late with one of them being the women’s champion and the other one being the challenger as the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match winner. Now the latter one has received a cohort by her side to go through the Wrestlemania 40 season.
During the latest episode of WWE Smackdown, Dakota Kai interrupted Bayley’s promo and stated she wasn’t here last week during Damage CTRL’s turn-on on Bayley because she was visiting her doctor to get cleared to return to the ring. Dakota further mentioned that she did believe in Bayley’s vision for Damage CTRL earlier in the days but there could have been a change in her mind in recent times.
Bayley asked her whose side she was on but before she could answer the WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY and Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) came out. Kai then picked up a steel chair and it seemed like she was going to hit Bayley, but she rather attacked IYO, Asuka, and Kairi, and turned babyface by siding with Bayley on WWE Smackdown.
