I assume they will lose the tag titles at Backlash. I would probably split up Damage Control in the draft at this point. I'd like to see Sane on her own, but she won't lose the tag title in time, so it might be Iyo.

Well I think we can pre-celerbate because IMO they are most certainly going to Raw. NO NIA NO MORE BIANCA Hopefully no Jade I would have said Charlotte to but they sent Andrade to SD so the likeliness of her staying on SD just shot up It looks like a whole new beautiful world with actual chance to succeed and not simply being the perenial punching bags.  |

I love how Kairi looks like a happy child waiting for the Ice Cream man and IYO is like ''jeez Kairi did you really need to fart in my general direction?''  |

Also, I never would have expected the lady with the Yacht Persona to have so much drip. In a faction that regularly outshines the roster, she outshines the group.

Nah, seriously though I'm sure they get along just fine, at least well enough to agree to have a photo with him. And, just in case it wasn't obvious I was joking in my previous post  |

This is the dilemma if you’re a Damage Ctrl fan. They stay on Smackdown and have that Bianca-shaped ceiling over their head, but have a better chance of regaining the Women’s title from Bayley. They go over to Raw, and while they may win some feuds against other undercard girls(i.e. Maxxine), their chances of winning the Women’s title seems to be very slim with the title likely revolving around Liv’s incoming Heel turn and Rhea/Liv once Rhea returns from injury. |

I think it is infact the opposite. There is a WAYYYYY better chance for upward momentum for them on Raw...Liv is not a long term champion , Becky is in the phase of her career where her value is more putting others over. And Rhea if she gains back the title probably isn't holding it for long IMO and any of Dmg Cntrl can easily fill the top of the womens division as champion so Rhea is no longer on some island all her own because now there will be women on her level let alone above it atleast in ring and all of them have strong personalities that can match Rhea's which was the big glaring issue with the Raw womens division. Where on SD it is swimming with almost nothing but world beaters and beats up 4 women all by themselves and we see how that workded out for Dmg Cntrl and now with them seemingly building Tiffy it knocked Dmg Cntrl further down if they remain there. |

I'll take Raw.
The ceiling on Raw was Rhea, but she's gone for now. We complain about Bianca being OP, but Rhea has actually been worse.
I'm not worried about Becky. Becky is much more giving, people can work with Becky and still come out of it looking good.
IYO vs Becky...I want that injected right into my veins!
Kabuki Warriors dropping the tag titles could be a blessing if they actually decide Kairi is worth anything to them. I won't get my hopes up on that though.
Not sure where Asuka would stand though. Joining Damage Ctrl really hurt her more than anyone. Will they continue to look at her as the divisions sole upper mid-carder? In which case, she needs some rebuilding. Or will they move her into Natty territory? I assume she's not going to be around much longer based on her pinned X, and her youtube videos about building a new house in Japan. But how long is "much longer?"

Becky and IYO had a great 1 on 1 match last year and it was really the first time the crowd really started getting behind IYO and commentary were talking her up like the seed for a babyface turn was being planted and then that rolled on into Backlash where she got that insane reaction and it kept going into MITB etc untill they pretty much swerved into cementing her as a heel and Bayley got the babyface turn instead. And let's be honest a big reason why Rhea stood out so much is because the rest of that Raw womens division was nowhere on her level or atleast allowed to be |

I also feel like while Rhea is likely getting the title next after Liv, she isn't going to be getting another year long reign. Assuming she gets it back at Summerslam or shortly after, I think she'll end up dropping it at the following Mania at the latest, to be honest. |

Been meaning to ask, since my 12-year-old son has gotten into wrestling recently, which match/es would you recommend I show in regards to KAIRI, Asuka and/or IYO? Whether it be pre-WWE or WWE? I think, based on what he's said so far that he'll be more interested in Kairi and IYO.

I think, based on what he's said so far that he'll be more interested in Kairi and IYO. Simply put any of their STARDOM matches. Io's anthology against Mayu is a must Io Vs KAIRI at the STARDOM 5th anniversary Io Vs Meiko Satomura - red belt title match Io Vs MoMo Watanabe - Both matches but in particular their match in 2018 at the GoldStar Event As for KAIRI Kairi Hojo vs. Meiko Satomura Kairi Hojo vs. Mayu Iwatani Her matches with KONAMI Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Kairi Hojo And of course there is one Lucha Underground match where it is all of threedom against Pentagon Dark. And when it comes to the Mayu Vs Io anthology make sure to watch it in order because how that entire story plays out is the best IMO in STARDOMs history. Here is the order 5 Star G1 2015 May Gold 2016 End of Year Climax 2016 Korakuen 2017 Cinderella 2018 |

Thanks for the recommendations Also, I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing Asuka (I mean, who doesn't right?) so I'll think of some matches of hers that I can show him (won't be showing THAT intergender match though, due to his age if nothing else) |

And let's be honest a big reason why Rhea stood out so much is because the rest of that Raw womens division was nowhere on her level or atleast allowed to be But Rhea's OP push has been going on for a while now. She's the one that continuously beat Asuka so bad they had to repackage Asuka. Asuka has a (protected) win over Bianca, can not say the same for Rhea. I guess Asuka's big win over Rhea was that she got to mist Dom...and off topic, but Dom was the last person to sell the mist correctly. It's supposed to be poisonous and blinding. Everyone else has been "selling" it as, "this is mildly inconvenient".
Anyhow, I'm no fan of Mami. She goes in the same "no one benefits from working with her" category as Bianca and Charlotte. As of now, she's the worst of those 3. Charlotte frequently loses, even if no one looks good in beating her. Bianca lost twice recently, again protected. Rhea, nothing. Rhea doesn't even lose sneak attacks. She almost always fights back and leaves a sneak attack on her feet. I also think of the three (when they have the working boots on) she's most ordinary in-ring.
Sucks that she's hurt. I hope she gets better real fast...but I also don't want her anywhere near any of my favorite wrestlers.
