I think Iyo and Dakota need stuff to do outside of being Bayley’s heavies.
Like they’re defended the tag belts ONCE since they won them? Your tag champs don’t need to be getting trucked by the singles champ for the sake of another woman’s feud.
It’s why I maintain that someone should have come out and helped Bianca at Extreme Rules. Candice, Raquel and Shotzi, etc. Because it would have given the tag champs something to do as well.

Lastnight was largely why I have not written off this group despite obvious struggles because it is finally clicking together now. Their roles are finally being defined by letting their personalities shine instead of them just letting Bayley being the centre piece and the other two just there to prop her up. And in ring Dakota and IYO have not looked better as a team...they got double team antics going , I am loving that spot where Dakota baits them in and IYO hits her perfect springboard dropkick. And speaking of IYO is looking more and more like her god-tier self , she isn't quite there yet but the more reps she gets in the more of her arsenal she dusts off...lastnight she did the roll through into the double stomp for the first time on the main roster I believe. Still waiting on her to do her double handspring into drop kick and suicide dive. But again this group looks to finally be clicking in all the important ways..now it is just a matter of if WWE screws it the f*** up and does not let this group finally not only just overcome but move on past Bianca but we will see on Monday. "IYO doesn't bite...hard" Them being able to finally define their personalities is helping so much and what also helps is Bayley is basically delegating to them and not talking for them....Dakota is the rambling nutty one and IYO is the murdery aint got time for interview bullshit one. Like I said this is finally starting to click. I do find it interesting that IYO likes to say SHE won and then corrects to WE won....I can see this being a nice little forshadowing for things in the future much like how Dakota is the one all about getting Bayleys approval where as IYO seeks none. It felt like that backstage interview with Byron was when things started to shift with the group. You had Dakota explaining why she’s with Bayley and how she would “take a bullet” for either of them. You had IYO apparently saying that she only trusts Bayley & Dakota and would do anything for them(which Bayley mis-translated to “go kick Candice’s ass). And throughout all that, you had Bayley go from depressed and despondent to back to her cheerful self again. Like it gave the vibe that they’re in this together in a “us against the world” sorta way. And I do like the dynamic in the group. IYO is reverting to the no-nonsense “Joshi Judas” and Dakota is reverting to her manic, unhinged self. I also like how in both segments when Dakota is getting more unhinged and unraveling, IYO is the one that interrupts her ramblings and sorta calms her down.

I also like how in both segments when Dakota is getting more unhinged and unraveling, IYO is the one that interrupts her ramblings and sorta calms her down. Yup, Like I said now that their roles are finally being defined and it seems like to me atleast they have scaled Bayley back from those two just being their to circle her while she gets the spotlight has changed things for the better , now it is starting to feel like an actual unit and the chemistry is developing. And this is the way it should be....everyone knows who Bayley is but now everyone that did not watch NXT is finally understanding who IYO and Dakota are and it helps that they have been allowed to be their NXT selves which is what helped get them as over as they got. And like I said it might be a clever seed planting for the future...but Dakota comes off as the one really wanting Bayleys approval where as IYO is still very much about standing on her own hence the "I" did it before quickly saying "WE" did it like there is still that very lone wolf mentality in her but she is playing along...for now.

Dakota's character feels like a more refined version of her late NXT 'crazy' character, so it's nice to see that experience being put to good use.

Tonight was a reminder that Bianca has such ridiculously protected losses that it doesn't feel like DC wins even when they do technically win.

At least they jumpcutted Candice to death.

Yup. Bayley won tonight, but only after Nikki Cross showed up randomly with no hype or buildup and laid EVERYONE out. I feel like this was a reactionary booking decision on the part of Triple H, because the RAW Women's Division has been getting cooked on social media over not featuring more women. Problem is that Nikki Cross ain't it. She's gonna flop miserably soon enough, because she's had four separate pushes on the main roster and never got over in any of them. And the worst part is the Nikki ASH thing was entirely her idea, and she still takes credit for it.

It wasn't clean but Bayley won. And against Bianca that's as good it's going to get.

Bully Ray is taking shots at Damage CTRL now and hates everyone in it but Bayley. Anything that makes Bully just the slightest bit more miserable is okay by me since he's an idiot and an awful person in general.

Anything that makes Bully just the slightest bit more miserable is okay by me since he's an idiot and an awful person in general. I like how most of these people are complaining about Bayley being dragged down when the reality is that this is who Bayley is. At this point of her career, she doesn't really care about her own accolades, but about elevating those around her. Case in point a month after her record-breaking SD Women’s title run she was taking losses to Natalya and was the first elimination at Survivor Series to help put over Peyton Royce. She wants to elevate those around her. That's why she put over Candice. That's why she stated that this stable's goal is to elevate Dakota & IYO.

Both Bayley and Becky are to be commended IMO because they realize they got their time at the top and got to reep all those rewards so they are spreading that wealth to others. Becky did it with Liv and Bianca , Bayley is and will do it with Candice , IYO , Dakota. Hell all of DMG Cntrl helped with making Roxxane look great to the casual audience. Bully Ray is just a dumb f*** who looks like deflated wrinkly balloon over on Impact now.

I wouldn't listen to Bully about Damage Control personally. As for my thoughts, yeah if it helps elevate Shirai, Kai and Le Rae than I'm fine with it. As has been said, Bayley's had her time at the top (and I wouldn't rule out anymore title reigns either between now and the time she leaves) so it's good to see her willing to help build others.

Judging by Dakota's IG Story/Tik Tok video, it looks like Damage Ctrl will be at Crown Jewel, so probably a triple threat match based off of the ending of Raw.

Just Bayley/Bianca in a Last Woman Standing match at Crown Jewel. Time for Damage CTRL to very likely get chumped out again, invalidating the point of a War Games match between the groups.

Only way Bayley wins is if Damage Ctrl ties Bianca's braid to the ringpost or around her legs preventing her from getting up to the count of 10.

Say what you will about Damage CTRL as a group but I have never seen them work a group as hard as "Diva Twitter". I won't link the tweet here, but there's a new accusation going around that Iyo and Dakota are worse in ring performers than Emma, and can only do three moves between them.

IYO and Dakota likely have no f***ing clue what the hell diva twitter is and aint got time for that trash but have those people seeting is funny.

People on Twitter are dumb. In other news water is wet. Opinions are like a-holes everybody has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. Just like who you like and don't worry about it. Nothing to take serious or get up in arms about.
