March 13th 2023. Providence, Rhode Island. Amica Mutual Pavilion. The Parking Lot. It's no longer just the most dangerous place in NXT. In a WWE Digital Exclusive released prior to Monday Night RAW, Trish Stratus was formally welcomed back to WWE by Damage CTRL. Bayley beat Trish down before tossing her face first into a metal storage cabinet. Our Captain Dakota F'N Kai slammed Trish face first to the concrete. IYO slammed Stratus face first into a metal storage cart. Wonder if Trish kept that protective mask her bestie Lita caused her to wear back in 2004?
The Ladies had some laughs all the while. The only thing missing was a combo of popcorn and Icees for them to enjoy during the preview of what they'll do tenfold to Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus at WrestleMania 39. But the preview wasn't over. They ended it with a bang -- a triple superkick party rubbed in Trish's face. Did I not predict a few weeks ago if Trish returned, The Ladies would rub it in her face? Turns out I wasn't just saying a play on words from Trish's theme song.
Damage CTRL did nothing wrong. I repeat. They did nothing wrong. Trish wanted to come back and play with this generation so got introduced to a common battleground of it: The Parking Lot. The NXT Parking Lot is called the most dangerous place in the realm of NXT. All three of The Ladies are NXT alumnus. They no doubt graduated with honors from Parking Lot Class at the Performance Center. They were only showing the Hall of Famer what they learned at the PC. The same type of thing Trish would have done herself years ago.
Last week, Bayley called out Trish and Lita for coming back to steal the spotlight. This week they proved her correct. Damage CTRL beat Trish to a pulp and the cameras didn't make any effort to respectfully catch a word with them during RAW. Why didn't commentary take a moment to acknowledge that Dakota and IYO made their MSG debuts on Sunday? Meanwhile, the cameras were conveniently there to catch a word with Trish, Becky and Lita. What kind of show is that tool Adam Pearce running that allows clear bias toward Becky, Lita and Trish?
Becky said she's going to kick some heads. Nope. Dakota Kai is The Captain of Team Kick and will kick Becky's head off like she did in the WrestleMania 34 Kickoff Battle Royal.
The Ladies proved again they are a united, lethal ass kicking machine. All of the women who walk out of WrestleMania 39 with championship gold were just put on notice. Once they finish the Becky and friends agitation, there will be nothing between Damage CTRL and all the gold. The Ladies once again proved when you wrong them you'll get wronged over worse. Damage CTRL's true reign of terror has only just begun.
