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 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.
Rhea is the most likely to lose to Damage CTRL at this point, just because she actually sells when its necessary, on top of selling like death to the people she's facing, and is the most likely woman to lose their title to a member of Damage CTRL whenever its time (probably at next year's Mania). Where Bianca controls over 95% of the match on average, and almost never sells anything. |

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. If they do get drafted to Raw, they probably won't be on next week's episode since they're currently scheduled to be working the live event in France the day before. |

I could see IYO and Dakota on Raw next Monday...because Elimination Chamber had KAIRI AND Asuka but neither Dakota or IYO were with them. |

Good call to move Damage CTRL. Plenty of fresh feuds for them there too (relatively at least lol)

RAW IS THE A SHOW ONCE AGAIN Even if you didn't include Damage CTRL, they had a far better draft than SD. |

Idk about the rest but I we feelin pretty damn good here on the island...had a little rough period there but that is what happens when we have unload an entire Bayley.    Raw has never looked better and KAIRI got her favourite hat back.  Being a Fanatics-made hat, it fell apart before this photo had even finished uploading to Twitter. |

If anyone needs a thread title edit, since the original account that opened the thread got deleted, I'll do you guys a solid and do them for you if need them. Only positive stuff though, I'm not in the business of pushing agendas about burials.

With Judgement Day imploding R-Truth now becomes convinced he’s a member of Damage CTRL.
