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

[Totorob101]

Sucks for Kairi but had she won and i have no doubt Zoey or Dakota will win next week, then we would yet again another virtually all heel womens match wehich we have seen plenty of recently which is ok to me but i guess at least one babyface has to make it to this match. How Kairi is still jobbing as she does, and how she is still a heel despite being probably the best baby face they could ever have going for thme, is a mystery. Cant see her ever being a threat nor a face as hunter clearly loves certain women and he loves heels.

Kairi had a good match, and that back fist to Shayna was sweet.

But you know...

Kairi is so good

Why have they booked her so shitty and made her stand out so little? I wish I knew.

Match was fantastic though, all three girls are great.

Because Triple H has never truly liked Kairi. Even in NXT all of her pushes had massive caveats to them. Hell, I remember Casey alluding to the fact that Triple H never wanted her to win the MYC. He was heavily pushing for Shayna to win it. The only reason Kairi won is because Vince thought there would be more upside to Kairi winning, so he overruled Triple H there. And afterwards, she was made to look like a bitch by Shayna, getting the title but then losing it right back like a month later.

This is why I think she is absolutely leaving the moment her contract is up. It's very clear Triple H doesn't actually value her. I think she will either retire or work Marigold exclusively after this current WWE stint.

Like I understand Lyra is the shiny new talent with potential, but her push is coming across as incredibly forced, and at the expense of women who fans have been clamoring to see pushed. Kairi has been constantly trending on social media for the past month or two, with fans being pissed she is booked like a geek. Any other company would notice that and adjust their plans accordingly. But nope. Gotta push Lyra and also protect Shayna who is never, ever going to be popular.

If Kairi was trending, I’m guessing its only at extremely low levels and only shows up on your curated trends. There’s no yes movement going on for Kairi . That being said, she would make a great face for the Raw division right now while Becky and Rhea are gone.

She isn't getting in. If Kairi isn't in the match, then Dakota sure as hell isn't either. And WWE is still trying to move tickets for the Japan tour, so it would be baffling to see Dakota get in over Kairi. One of the Abema guys (who are WWE's partner in Japan) mentioned that only Friday's show is sold out. The other two days still have lots of tickets left. WWE is likely having trouble moving those tickets because its probably a combination of prices being too high (seat pricing is anywhere from 10,000 yen (~$100) for the cheap seats, to 300,000 Yen (~$2000) for the front row seats), and due to the fact that there's been a lot of discontent from Japanese viewers towards the booking of Japanese stars. Japan uses Twitter/X a lot more than westerners do to communicate, and also looking at their message boards, and there's a LOT of discontent towards Shinsuke not being on TV, and then having Kairi (who is insanely popular in Japan, probably one of the most popular Japanese women over there in general) do nothing but job.

It doesn't help that ratings for WWE programming over there are utterly abysmal as well, due to WWE's inability to push any Japanese talent as a face of the company. They've put more effort behind trying to get Lyra Valkyria over then they ever have with Iyo Sky, Kairi, Shinsuke, etc. And no one should try and point out that Iyo has a world title reign under her belt, because even then she was booked as a second fiddle character. It's especially bad when you see stuff like how Triple H made claims that he would book Japanese talents better, but never actually did. It's been a severe pain point among Japanese fans, as that remark made news over there, just to turn around and continue to book them as poorly as Vince did.

I am just over complaining about KAIRI's current role in this company just because it aint ever gonna change.

They see nothing in her dating to her first run on the main roster except to always be woman who tags with Asuka even though she literally checks every box you could ever want checked in a top shelf babyface.

I do feel sorry she put such hope on getting a better run this time and they just do blah all with her.

Kairi's drip is crazy, it makes Dakota look so out of place when they're beside each other. It would be nice if she could see some success.

I love that KAIRI's gear (specifically her pirate gear is basically a pokemon/Digivolution) and you can always know which point in her career you are watching just by her gear.

Early years




Evolution




From princess to queen.




Joshi gear is such a story in itself and KAIRI sits at the top for me just so elaborate and eye catching.

Early Pirate Princess, particularly the Yacht Persona that I know from WWE has nothing on Kairi's current look. She's really nailed it.

IYO has a hell of a next few weeks.

MITB this weekend
Vs Utami at Summer Destiny the following weekend

And then WWE's Japan tour in which she will no doubt be wrestling on every show on the tour

I am curious what the matches will be on that tour for Iyo. Do they have her work with the faces, or do they delve into wacky world and have her feud with the faces who end up acting like heels? Because right now the only women announced are Kairi, Iyo, Dakota, Bianca, and Jade.

I can see things happening within the next few weeks big IF here depending on the story they want to roll with...like if Dakota loses tonight maybe IYO is finished with them as a group and dumps them in an effort to change Dmg Cntrl as she said...but again IF since this has been inconsistent as f*** and the E doesn't see to even know week to week what they want to do.

Or maybe it just ends up being like a six woman tag all tour with Dmg Cntrl against Jade , Bianca and Naomi (because it is always Naomi and she would be designated pin eater) with Dmg Cntrl playing the faces.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

So we can add six woman tag to IYO's crazy match schedule in July.

Natsumi sharing some vintage pics of her times with KAIRI and IYO.

There is no way she and KAIRI do not reunite at some point to go for the inevitable twin star tag titles of MariGold.

Push Kairi Sane this year instead of next year, she would be already ready to be the top dog in her prime, too. 😎
