March 20th 2023. Enterprise Center. St. Louis, Missouri. Monday Night RAW. Rhea Ripley came out to address her WrestleMania 39 SmackDown Women's Championship match against the reigning champion Charlotte Flair. Damage CTRL came out to show respect to their WarGames 2022 sister in arms but Bayley also pointed out she was waiting to hear her name mentioned when Rhea spoke about leaders. She also expressed disappointment Rhea didn't ask her for advice on how to defeat Charlotte considering The Role Model defeated Flair during her first ever Mania match at WrestleMania 33 -- a landmark Rhea failed to accomplish at her first Mania.
Ripley took offense like she typically does, stating she doesn't need help from Damage CTRL. Rhea wanted to be like that so Bayley stated some cold hard facts: Ripley has gotten cocky and needs to be reminded Monday Night RAW is Damage CTRL's show not Rhea's. The Ladies were ready to teach Rhea that valuable lesson rather violently. Even the mighty Eradicator (who wasn't in her ring gear) knew she couldn't handle all three, so she challenged just one of them to come into what she called her ring for a match. Bayley was in her gear so leading by example as a role model does, The Ultra Superstar stepped up to face The Eradicator.
A referee was sent down. The match started. Bayley and Rhea fought. Dakota Kai was itching to compete therefore couldn't resist giving Rhea's eyes a Greco Roman rake to turn the tide. Ripley fell and Bayley stacked her up for a pin with Our Captain holding Bayley's legs on the rope for an assist. Ripley kicked out. So far, it was a competitive match. Two of this generation's best handling some personal business. Leave it to those uninvited pests Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus to come to ringside and take the crowd's attention away from the actual match. Oh look, that big dope Lynch brought a huge bag of popcorn as part of Operation: Devalue the Match.
The uninvited pests initially minded their own business. After eating some nasty offense, Bayley rolled to the apron, consoled by Kai and IYO SKY on the floor. That bully Rhea tried to pull Dakota into the ring to maul her. Fortunately, Bayley and IYO saved Our Captain. Lita and Trish picked that opportune moment to attack Kai and SKY. Fortunately, Kai and SKY anticipated it coming and came right at them. Trish and Lita fought back, taking out Kai and SKY. Becky couldn't mind her own business, forcefully chasing Bayley back into the ring as she was about to check on her friends.
Becky not having any actual friends makes her ignorant of the fact Bayley was valuing her friends well-being over her match. Bayley was pinned by Rhea Ripley, however she was defeated by that big dope and her entitled "friends". Team Becky could have waited to handle their business but nope. They had to ruin a match between two of the best of the current era. Once again, Bayley was proven correct! Trish and Lita came back to steal the spotlight from this generation. Sadly, Becky is enabling them. At WrestleMania 39, The Ladies will finally put a finish to this Big Time Nonsense.
