September 26th 2022. Monday Night RAW. So I heard a good one. The word going around is RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair plans to take out Damage CTRL one by one. Some WWE dot com editor is calling this her road to retribution. Yup, I had a good laugh too. Bianca isn't my favorite these days but I would not wish a mask and silly name on anyone. We know that getting pinned at Clash at the Castle unhinged Bianca. Perhaps Alex Bliss could recommend a therapist... We all know the only redemption story here is Damage CTRL saving the division.
Team EST was granted time to address the crowd at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Bianca admitted she was going to suggest to Bayley they have their title match on RAW but decided against it since she claimed it wouldn't be a fair fight. That's just Bianca's way of saying she's desperate to cling onto the title for a couple more weeks. You don't even need to scan a QR code to figure that one out.
Damage CTRL decided to crash Team EST's time just like they crashed their celebration last week. Bayley passionately pointed out that unlike Bianca who was groomed by the WWE machine to be a champion, Damage CTRL weren't so fortunate. All three had to go through the grime and grit of the independent and/or international scene to even get noticed by WWE. I personally won't take anything away from Bianca whose worked hard to become a great wrestler. But that fact does not make Bayley a liar.
Bayley was being brutally honest. The WWE machine instantly saw Bianca as a star. It didn't even consider two of the best in the world -- Dakota Kai and IYO SKY -- main roster worthy. Bayley was ready to return from her injury and the division needed more competitors yet she wasn't in the plans until she took charge of her future. She gave Kai and SKY the opportunity the so-called locker room leaders never encouraged since they wanted all the spotlight for themselves. Well now, Damage CTRL has taken the spotlight and is giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Bianca did what she tends to do lately: Going the low road by taking a shot at The Role Model's injury rehabilitation and her not being involved in a match at WrestleMania 37. Bayley grew sick and tired of Bianca focusing on the past so she decided to focus on the future: Extreme Rules where she now feels like winning the RAW Women's Championship in a Ladder Match. Bianca accepted. She followed that stating that since she has to wait to face Bayley at Extreme Rules, she's going to get extreme with her girl IYO. Bianca!
IYO welcomed a match against Bianca. They fought tooth and nail with Bayley and Dakota supporting their girl at ringside. Bianca would pin IYO following the KOD after a hard-fought battle where SKY matched the RAW Women's Champion at every turn. Later on, Candice LeRae who made her WWE return and main roster debut decided to pick sides: She choose Team EST. I guess Candice doesn't want to heal old wounds. She accused Damage CTRL of being cowards. Bayley wanted a ladder match. WWE Women's Tag Champions Kai and SKY always bring the fight. Those ladies are no cowards.
Candice clearly wanted to face Bayley but since The Role Model needs to stay focused on Bianca, Dakota stepped forward salivating at the chance to remind her former friend why she's The Captain of Team F'N Kick next week on RAW. Tonight was another rough night for Damage CTRL. But Damage CTRL are family. Family sticks together through the good and the bad. It will always prevail in the end.
