The Warriors really don't have anyone lined up for Mania.
I can actually see WWE not even having them on the card sadly.
Unless they do some fatal 4 way tag team title match so they can get 8 talents on the Mania card?
I'm kind of hoping they are not on the card, or if in a custerF tag match I at least hope they lose.
Asuka is my favorite wrestler ever; and, "Asuka never got to win at Wrestlemania is at least an interesting side note" whereas, "Asuka's only win at Wrestlemania is a bathroom-break clusterF tag match" is absolute rubbish.
I'm wondering if Bayley takes the pin to put over Iyo at Wrestlemania and then gets the win back at Backlash. It still gives Iyo the rub of a mania win. I am curious to see where Dakota lands here, though her staying with damage ctrl would cement the Bayley face turn.
I just watched Bayley's segment a couple times though and it was fantastic. Just saying a few Japanese words turned the whole story of the past few months on its head. The hidden pipe was excellent and showed how smart she can be. Hell I think she was hoping Iyo would try to make amends right up until the Kabuki warriors attacked her. The interesting thing is that apart from the aborted belt shot, Iyo didn't put a hand on Bayley. There's still a lot of layers that can be explored in this story.
Someone brought it up which I think would be a clever way to spin it.
That Dakota got IYO to bring back KAIRI to basically use that to turn IYO against Bayley and Asuka joining was just pure circumstances due to KAIRI's return.
Because IYO prior didn't really hate Bayley I mean she clearly had her little issues with her but still considered her a friend...she only really got cold towards her when her actual real friend showed up.
Like you can really spin this to where Dakota manipulated everyone to turn against Bayley because Dakota wanted to usurp Bayley's position as leader.
The past month or so it felt like IYO is the one running things, not Dakota. While IYO was more openly hostile and belligerent towards Bayley, Dakota seemed more reluctant. The Rumble and the following Raw seemed like the turning point in IYO/Bayley’s relationship. After winning the Rumble, IYO became concerned and then on Raw she came off as worried and paranoid that Bayley was going to pick her. Culminating last night with her telling Asuka & Kairi that Bayley was finished and they were going to take her out then and there.

I would do them vs. Bianca and Jade. Let Bianca and Jade have the titles for a while before breaking up, leading to Jade’s first big singles program. Could also do Bianca and Naomi if Jade is facing off with Nia for Mania.

Bayley makes the literal point I am making right before she gets attacked....before Asuka and KAIRI that her and IYO were super close when it was just the three of them.
I think it is gonna be revealed that Dakota has been the ultimate manipulator for awhile now because Dakota has to have a way bigger role than simply..she shows up and just turns on Bayley.
I am still going in on that whoever wins the match at Mania I think it ends with IYO also turning babyface....because I think Dakota is also manipulating KAIRI and through that she manipulates Asuka.

Anyone starting to think Giulia is the end game, whether she aligns with Damage CTRL or she's the one Bayley brings in to defeat Iyo if she loses at Wrestlemania?
Giulia vs. Iyo at Summerslam where Damage CTRL finally ends and crumbles would be Captain's end game timeline for the destruction of Damage CTRL once and for all.
No surprise as it has been the best and most consistent story for months now on SD and proved they can carry the brand when they were the peak of the show with no Roman around and this proves that the story is keeping and getting more viewers interest and a big time part of every single woman involved is super talented and all are insanely likeable and just exude super cool energy.
It is just horseshit that the other thing on SD completely overshadowed it because the ladies did an insanely great job but no one is talking about it.

This would be a great scenario...but I do not see it simply because I do not think IYO is retaining at WM...I would be pleasently shocked if she did.
I do expect IYO and Giulia to feud though...they would be insane to not do it but only after IYO turns babyface which I think will happen sometime this year.
