Because that's what this is unironically turning into after last night, and what is being pushed on social media now as well by fans on both sides.
I don't think it would be anywhere near as heated if WWE had actually had the foresight to actually give Damage CTRL some huge wins over at least Bianca and Naomi before this point. But last night was the breaking point, especially since WWE has been going all out on promoting Jade as some big huge megastar, and it's coming at the expense of some women who have been widely viewed as underappreciated and poorly booked.
Oh? Damage CTRL are champs? Sure could have fooled me, since they aren't booked like champions, because they still lose the majority of their matches anyways and constantly got ran off almost every week by Bianca, who basically 1v3ed them for the better part of two years. And now they have Jade doing the same thing except much faster as seen last night.
Do I believe Black talent should be booked strongly in WWE? Of course. But at the same time, I've pretty much hit my breaking point with how poorly Asian talents are booked. Because there is no Asian talent in WWE who is booked even remotely close to as strong as Bianca (and soon to be Jade) are. And for a company that likes to pride itself on diversity, it's a glaring flaw. WWE puts absolutely no effort into building up an Asian star as a face of the company (on the level of a Bianca, Rhea, Becky, or Charlotte), because there is no blowback for it, and it's incredibly shitty. But apparently saying that makes you a racist or crazy. Because while black talents have absolutely been booked better for the past 5 years or so, WWE is still incredibly regressive/awful at booking Asian talents as strongly as other minorities.
The sad thing is, you don't even need to go back a full year to see how bad WWE is with signing or booking Asian talents. They fumbled getting Okada (because he cared more about his legacy [and also money, but legacy was a big reason]), and completely botched Shinsuke's turn again, feeding him to Rollins despite the story basically saying that Shinsuke had every right to win.

Just because Tiktok and Twitter are being stupid, that doesn't mean we need to engage in such tomfoolery and bring race into this match.
Damage Control are going to walk into WrestleMania as champions. I think the Liv Morgan fans are absolutely nuts, but I bet they wish she was booked as "bad" as her with long title reigns.
Let me apologize since I made this thread initially out of pure fun and nothing else so if the mods deem anything needs to be put to a hault for whatever reason go ahead.
Now speaking for myself this is and never has been about any racial platitudes this is purely about the booking and I have pointed it out.
Dmg Cntrl is CONSTANTLY in the same f***ing cycle when it comes to Bianca...and now after lastnight with Jade as well.
They are used as fodder..this has been who they are since they showed up and no concidence that Bianca has been at the central point of this and things only got better for Dmg Cntrl once they actually got away from Bianca...surprise but as soon as Bianca re-enters the picture they are back to being her personal bitches to beat around however she pleases.
But now that escalates because now we have Jade doing the samething.
I said this before if you believe Dmg Cntrl is gonna survive this and somehow thrive hey I wish you all the best with that thought but we done been seeing this same story for 2yrs when it was just Bianca and you can take his as a defeatest attitude but I aint got no reason to hope anything is in line for them other than being completely squashed at Mania..losing all their titles very soon after and then dropping down the card as Jade and Bianca rip through the rest of this roster untill like Charlotte returns.
The only saving hope for me is they get drafted to Raw very soon after Mania.

Yeah, but Raw has another unbeatable buzzsaw in Rhea Ripley.
The only ideal scenario is they drop the tag titles to Bianca & Jade(to kickstart their storyline and eventual implosion & feud) and leave them to dismantle what's left of the Women's tag team division, while Damage Ctrl chases after Bayley and her title. Of course, if Bianca ends up being busy with the tag titles and Jade, where does that leave Tiffany after WM, which opens another can of worms. Smackdown has too many upper-tier talent, while Raw barely has any.

I would give IYO a way better f***ing chance at dethroning Rhea over anything that involves Bianca and now Jade.
Because Rhea has never beaten her apart from WarGames.
But also I absoloutley agree that SD is way f***ing top heavy especially now which is gonna make booking that division quite the interesting conundrum HHH has on his hands.
He has Bayley as returning to her babyface ways.
now you have Jade and Bianca and Naomi
Then you got Tiffy time who is garnering more and more fan support
Then somewhere down here is Dmg Cntrl
Something needs to change with the rosters...Raw needs top tier women (hence Dmg Cntrl getting drafted) and SD needs atleast upper midcard depth...send Nia , Zoey and idk the edm geek girls.

Rhea actually stands a better chance of losing her title than Bianca or Jade would, in theory. Especially since Rhea has been open in the past about how she feels like fans don't appreciate Iyo enough. And her title reign is likely ending at Summerslam at the latest, I don't think they can drag it out another year tbh.
We finally get IYO's side of this story and comes off like her NXT self and she spits nothing but absoloute truth.
And the brawl was just chefs kiss very very intense and IYO looks like she took the light to the head lol. It legit felt like to two crazed women who just want to kill eachother and it was helped by them going to what looked like security camera pov that made this overall feel more chaotic and not so staged.
I hope they get the time to absoloutley kill it because if they are IMO we are gonna get the best version of IYO in ring so far in her whole WWE run and same with Bayley because she could not have a better dance partner as they say.
FFS, THIS is what they should have been doing with Iyo and Bayley all along.
This is fantastic. And Iyo gets to show her charisma as well.
Really enjoyed this segment.
I’ve been a fan of Bayley since she was in NXT so hoping she wins at Mania. She’s never won a title at Mania right? Though she has retained one. Io has held the title since August I'm happy for the reign to end I don’t need to see everyone have a monster long title run.

I think Iyo retaining at mania and Bayley winning at the next PPV would probably be best. It cements Iyo as a top star and that was part of Bayley's goal with Damage CTRL.
This does bring up a recurring problem with all these Heel factions. They walk around and talk about how they're dominant and run everything, but end up getting rekt more often than not(i.e. Damage Ctrl, Judgement Day, Imperium, even the Bloodline with Solo & Jimmy Uso being used as meat shields)

It really would be best case scenario for IYO.
It extends her reign and gets her probably her most significant win maybe ever in the company outside of her cash in and this would argueably be bigger.
And is something she could carry over to a potential Joshi triple threat feud that she is the only one amongst the three to have a win at Mania...this would be properly significant as it pretains to Asuka specifically.
This is twice within weeks in this thread it's either been implied or outright said if you want Damage CTRL to lose a match you're racist against Asians. Someone was just doing that with me for daring to want Bayley to win at Mania.
These stan threads are starting to jump the shark. Every wrestler shouldn't need their own special ongoing circlejerk that always devolves into toxicity and relentlessly shitting on anyone who beats the person or is pushed harder. If a specific match/promo/feud is worthy it could naturally get its own topic. Like that IYO/Bayley segment was cool but no one bothers to make a thread about it because it seems to be kind of understood this is the "official" Damage CTRL discussion and some people might have been put off posting in it if they're not mega fans and could be greeted with hostility if they don't toe the line and only praise the subject at all times. The Liv thread has basically turned into the same thing.
Yeah either this thread should be locked or those posters banned, it’s wild in here
So there is a pretty big rumor starting to make the rounds from SRS live stream ...now let me preface this by saying he did not outright SAY it or confirm anything but he damn sure f***ing hinted strongly at it by refering to past tweets he made.

I'd like Bayley to have a go at being a champion. Seeing her as an experienced, confident face as opposed to how she was last time she was a face, sure why not?
And a series of matches against Iyo? Sign me up for that.
Kayfabe-wise, Damage Control only have themselves to blame as Bayley was going to challenge Rhea until they decided to play silly buggers.

IMO this should be the night Bayley's selflessness should really show itself by putting over IYO.
Bayley has accomplished everything there is to do in WWE and she will no doubt win the title again but this should be about cementing IYO as an undoubtable main eventer in the wider audiences eyes...no one is gonna think lesser Bayley if she loses where as IYO already struggles because she barely gets to do anything despite being the champion.
Bayley can absoloutley win the title at Backlash but Mania should be IYO's night IMO.
