Damage CTRL Support Island: Return Of The King (Kota)

[Woo]

They lost, but no harm was done to them as some of the doomers were predicting. They are still champions after all and looked great.

[Renslayer]

Asuka dancing to bianca's theme was hilarious. She's so unserious and I love it 😂😂😂😂

[The Rick Jericho]

Now I gotta hear from THIS Captain!

[Lizuka #BLM]

Sucks they all lost but at least IYO and Bayley was a fantastic match.

[Deleted]

Ima keep it short now...YOU PUT f***ING RESPECT ON IYO'S NAME!! Bayley was a great opponent but IYO f***ing showed the hell out.

She did IYO's rainbow AND did her trifecta moonsault...AND THAT FLIP COUNTER OUT OF THE ROSEPLANT WAS ABSOLOUTLEY f***ING INSANE!!

I say it not because she is my fav but because it is just truth when IYO is allowed to f***ing do what she does THERE IS NOT A WOMAN ON THIS ROSTER WHO IS BETTER bell to bell and you just saw what you get night in night out with her ...she did this in NXT with every single woman she is just nothing but bangers.

And IMO that was the MOTN prior to the actual main event of course and in the discussion for showstealer of the weekend both women killed it and hope Bayley has a great reign and that IYO does get another title reign...idk how HHH looks at tonight and lets IYO fall down the card at all , she is the best bell to bell performer amongst the women on this roster.

Does she get downgraded now with Giulia on the way?

And they build her up as the next big threat?

Giulia's got other commitments as well as helping Rossy set up his new promotion before reporting to NXT. So I figure she won't be main roster bound until maybe next year's WrestleMania.

I love Giulia but not even she is on IYO's level and that aint an insult to her...tonight was not even IYO's best peformance but yet showed how head and shoulders she is above any other woman on this roster.

But I absoloutley see her as the next big threat of the division when she gets to the main roster anything less is a diservice to her IMO.

[J is Justice]

IYO's titantron was so sick.

[john84]

Shame the entirety of Damage CTRL lost but IYO v Bayley was a banger.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Damage CTRL were losers who decided to kick out Bayley and peg her as the issue and then responded by all losing at Mania

Well I guess Karma is a bitch but where they go from here is important because they got steamrolled lol

[mistery]

I think Michael Cole summed it up best yesterday during the pre-show regarding Iyo. He talked about how he feels like she's massively underappreciated and underrated by fans. Sad thing is, that's still holding true even now. Bayley is getting literally all of the credit for the match being as good as it was by fans. While Iyo gets basically nothing.

Except everyone is singing Io's praises.

They really aren't on social media or in a lot of reviews. It's all "oh man look at how great Bayley looked, she entirely made that match, she's a genius!!!"

I honestly feel like Iyo is going to be one of those talents WWE completely misses the f***ing boat on at the end of the day, because they don't seem to know how to book her to her strengths. And WWE absolutely won't capitalize on anything she could have potentially gained from this. I'd say give her the Queen of the Ring win, but that's probably going towards Jade, Bianca, Naomi, or Tiffany unfortunately. And MITB will likely go to Tiffany Stratton. I think it's safe to say Iyo's time at the top of Smackdown is pretty much done. And unless she gets drafted to RAW, I don't think she'll sniff singles gold again until probably a year from now at the earliest if she sticks around on Smackdown, and her contract is apparently up next year.

I say she has a better chance of winning singles gold on RAW, because Rhea has talked very highly of her, on top of Rhea's reign likely being the next one to end, likely at Summerslam or Mania at the absolute latest.

[Woo]

Then we've been reading completely different things because everyone I see is praising her to the moon.

[Sparkybob]

Io Sky got the semi-main event as Mania 40 but sadly no one in WWE appreciates her.

MITB probably depends on how highly they want a successful cash-in or not. Chelsea would be hilarious with the briefcase, but would probably also be the first woman to fail a cash-in. Tiffany on the other hand would probably succeed.

Both women are getting their praise but you are seeing two sides emphasis two different people.

The mainstream outlets are mostly in on praising Bayley....just go look at the post show thing with Charlotte and Punk nothing was said about IYO

Fans on the other hand while giving Bayley her shine also are majority giving praise to IYO.

In the end though what is gonna matter is whether HHH paid f***ing attention to IYO because if the draft is in a month like I have been hearing (I have not seen an official announcement) then IYO needs to go to Raw immediately and be the one to dethrone Rhea Ripley , if they let IYO's performance lastnight goes to waste then she is better off not signing a new deal when her contract is up early next year.

Given the nature of this thread it's really hard to tell whether this is sarcasm or not!
