November 7th 2022. Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Mohegan Sun Arena. Monday Night RAW. Crown Jewel has come and gone but nothing was settled between Damage CTRL and Team EST. Upon arriving at RAW, Damage CTRL confronted Bianca Belair, Asuka and Alexa Bliss looking for a fight. Molly Holly and others kept that powder keg from exploding. Team EST came to the ring promising an offer for Damage CTRL. Bianca also rubbed it in Bayley's face that she was the last woman standing after their Last Woman Standing match at Crown Jewel.

The Ladies came to the ring to confront their rivals. Dakota told Bianca that nobody cares she was the last woman standing, pointing out that technically Belair still hasn't pinned Bayley since The Role Model returned. Correct! Bianca defeated Bayley twice, however neither time by pinfall. Yet, it was Bayley who actually pinned the RAW Women's Champion twice since September.

Twice isn't only a record Bayley has against Bianca. Dakota asked IYO how many times they have won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. IYO responded: Twice! SKY and Kai reminded Asuka and Alexa they beat them at Crown Jewel to recapture the titles. Bliss claimed that Asuka and her controlled the entire match (Incorrect!) and their opponents only won because Nikki Cross intervened. Little Miss Bliss just assuming. Damage CTRL in fact seemed out of the blue regarding the assist from the chaos loving lass just causing chaos.

Asuka madly went off on Damage CTRL in Japanese, namely repeatedly calling IYO something that sounded not nice. Dakota was stunned still for a moment. Bayley was appalled. In response, IYO had one simple thing to say to Asuka: BITCH! Asuka struck SKY with a back elbow ensuing a scuffle between the trios. Team EST cleared the ring but the brawling was merely on hold for a moment. Bianca made the offer she had spoken of earlier: Team EST challenged Damage CTRL to settle their beef in WarGames at Survivor Series on November 26th.

Dakota smiled at the challenge, ready to compete in her fourth WarGames. Both IYO and her have been in all three NXT Women's WarGames. Nikki Cross whose targeted both Damage CTRL and Bianca in recent weeks attacked Belair. Damage CTRL entered the fray. The Ladies and Nikki left Team EST in a heap. Bayley informed Bianca that Damage CTRL accepted the challenge. It will be Damage CTRL versus Team EST in WarGames! The Role Model pointed to Nikki, welcoming her to be one of their two WarGames partners.

The Ladies would cement that WarGames partnership when they confronted Nikki backstage. Dakota told Nikki that after she attacked them, they were ready to end her. But then they realized she was a kindred spirit who like them was lost and forgotten. Dakota promised Nikki that they have not forgotten her and in WarGames she can release all her anger. IYO and Bayley encouraged Cross to start tonight during her match against Dana Brooke. Nikki let loose maniacal laughter, adding simply that it was time to play.

During the confrontation with Nikki, Dakota seemed the most at ease serving as the chief spokeswoman, which makes sense since she's had her own battle with the demons of the mind. Bayley was a bit humored, however both Dakota and her were freaked out and uncertain by the maniacal laugh until Nikki declared she was going to "play" with Dana. IYO was understandably uncertain and disturbed. Nikki will be a great partner for WarGames but nonetheless The Ladies may still be subtly watching their fronts and backs.

Bayley would grace commentary with the gift of her insight during Nikki's match against 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke for the title. Dakota and IYO were at ringside, cheering encouragement to their WarGames partner. Bayley said some notable things on commentary. She made it clear she was looking forward to competing in WarGames. The Role Model noted there is more than meets the eye with Damage CTRL. Lastly, Bayley pointed out that for too long there has been so much anger and rage built up inside Nikki and Damage CTRL are reaping the benefits.

Cross would make quick work of Dana, pinning her after planting her with The Purge. Nikki exited the ring, staring out into the ether with a disturbed look covering her face. Bayley would present Nikki with the 24/7 Championship, placing it over her shoulder. Dakota was salivating at the thought of the violence Damage CTRL will unleash with Nikki at their side. Speaking of the 24/7 Championship, Nikki would rid herself of that burden, tossing it at a trash can. It was a symbolic moment for Nikki, ridding herself of the farce she had become. The rebirth of Nikki Cross is now complete.

Bianca, Asuka and Alexa still need to find two partners. Damage CTRL's team has four so now they just need the fifth and final. Nikki loves chaos. It's worth noting she's been on good terms with Dakota in the past. SKY and Kai are veterans of WarGames. Violence is something IYO does like. Our Captain has proven for years in her battles with the likes of Kellyanne and Kay Lee Ray that she has a lust for violence. Bayley is eager to compete in her first WarGames. They are power. They are fury and rage. Come Survivor Series they will rule the double cage.
