SEE WHAT DID THE ISLAND TELL YOU...THERE ARE NO ISSUES IT IS ALL A UNITED FRONT! WE LOVE YOU BAYLEY  Blocking out KP sourcing dirt sheet rumors about Dmg Cntrl. Funny how Asuka, Kairi and Iyo are only blocking one ear each. Bayley seems about to block her ear as if she's just catching on that they're doing a thing or possibly is asking someone off camera what they're doing. |

I don't know if she's just really great at whatever character she's playing, or if Kairi just does not give one darn f about being back in WWE.
I think it's both.

Kairi is very good at character work, considering she was an actress before getting into wrestling. I said it last night and I'll say it again. The tag titles should go on the Kabukis, just because they have actual charisma and personality, where the KCs while good in the ring, are a black hole of interest. And it doesn't help that the RAW women's division is filled with teams with no charisma either. Outside of Piper/Chelsea, every other tag team there is completely devoid of charisma or anything resembling a personality. Meanwhile you have the Kabukis who might not be everyone's cup of tea, but are also a lot more animated and ham it up whenever possible. |

This is interesting if not for the fact they are ignoring that IYO was also gifted one. |

"Bringing up Dakota, bringing up girls and vouching for them, it’s a different type of responsibility than just having to worry about yourself. The fact that I’ve been able to do that successfully and add to it that IYO is the champion right now just puts me on a different level. I think this year is going to solidify who I am and what I’ve brought to the industry and to the company." Boss Bayley is the best! uproxx.com/sports/bayley-wwe-interview-royal-rumble-2024/ |

Could also see a scenario where she takes the title off of IYO and then drops it to Dakota down the line, as her main goal of Damage Ctrl was to elevate both of them. As far as how they do the turn, I could see something like Bianca continuously chasing after IYO’s title and Bayley choosing IYO in the “heat of the moment” to freeze Bianca out and guarantee the title stays within Damage Ctrl post-WM. It would fit with the story of something seemingly innocent on Bayley’s end that ends up setting off IYO(would also fit with Triple H’s snail-pace long-term storytelling) |

It would fit with the story of something seemingly innocent on Bayley’s end that ends up setting off IYO(would also fit with Triple H’s snail-pace long-term storytelling) Your scenario was similar to my line of thinking. Bayley wins the rumble....but then Aldis tries to put IYO in the chamber to defend her title but then Bayley changes course before the chamber and chooses IYO to like you said keep the title in Dmg Cntrl. It allows this to be played a few different ways because on one hand...Bayleys reasoning can be seen as both noble and selfish. And it can tie back all the times Bayley has continually undermined IYO...but see if you want to turn Bayley babyface this is an issue because I have said it continually Bayley has done nothing to cement any sort of redemption arc...maybe the rumble could help change that perception maybe idk but her hastely changing course to challenge IYO could be seen as just her undermining IYO again. |

It sounds as if the crowd is warming up to bayley so I think they can get to the face turn without the redemption arc. Think she might have redemption in the same way jey did after he turned face. |

Jey was already showing signs of his redemption when he came to Sami Zayn's defense during the Tribal Court segment and saved Sami from getting spiked by Solo Sikoa and then again at the Royal Rumble when he walked out on the Bloodline wanting no part of the beatdown on Sami Zayn. |

Seems like it'll be like the Batista Rumble win in 2005 where there were scattered hints beforehand, but he was nominally heel and still in his heel faction at the time he won it, and then the actual face turn comes during the following weeks. Assuming Bayley wins. |

Assuming Bayley wins. I think the difference is that Batista was already a Tweener-leaning Face by the time of the Royal Rumble considering he beat the crap out of La Resistance(who were Anti-American Heels) and literally shoved the flag up their asses. In contrast, Bayley seems to still be a full-fledged Heel. |

I have said it a few times already but as of right now and logically it would make more sense to turn the Joshi's babyface considering Bayley has not paid for what she did to KAIRI.
And how much she has undermined IYO during various matches.

Give Dakota the NXT women's title too while we are at it. |
