November 10, 2023. Columbus, Ohio. Nationwide Arena. SmackDown. Bayley claimed she had long-term plans for Damage CTRL since its inception. She planned for Dakota Kai and IYO SKY to become Women's Tag Team Champions. And for the group to win the WWE Women's Championship which IYO did. Her plans didn't involve Kairi Sane returning to WWE to assist IYO in retaining the title at Crown Jewel. Bayley wanted answers. Dakota accompanied Kairi and IYO to the ring. Kai could tell Bayley was irritated and motioned her to chill out and remain calm.

Bayley insisted she had a plan to help IYO at Crown Jewel but SKY told her stablemate she had one of her own since she's the champion and this is her era. Facts. Dakota revealed IYO and her brought Kairi in to make Damage CTRL stronger not to hurt Bayley. Truth. Kai added that IYO and her appreciate everything Bayley has done for them, so they wanted to take some of the weight off her shoulders. Selfless. That's Our Captain. Kairi even forgave Bayley for that violent 2020 attack after accepting The Role Model as leader of Damage CTRL. Sniffles.

Dakota, IYO and Kairi wanted a hug with Bayley to seal the deal. Bayley claimed she doesn't hug anymore which is a load of crap. Dakota encouraged her. They all hugged! The world spied that little smile appearing on Bayley's face. I'm in tears. Damage CTRL are now four. Long Live The Ladies! Sadly, this is the point where that sore loser Bianca Belair came out to ruin things.

Bianca accused IYO of not being able to handle business on her own. Well, IYO handled her business unlike Bianca. Belair introduced two allies who hate Damage CTRL. Charlotte was the first. The second was specifically disappointed by Kairi. None other than her former tag team championship partner Asuka. Or so The StupidEST and her friend-for-a-time Charlotte thought! Bayley teamed up with IYO and Kairi to battle Bianca, Charlotte and Asuka. Our Captain was present at ringside, serving per usual as The Guardian of the WWE Women's Championship.

Belair thought she was going to tag in Asuka. NOPE. Mist in Bianca's face. Did The StupidEST really think Asuka would side with Charlotte and her over her best friend Kairi? Asuka joined Kairi and IYO in a glorious beatdown of Charlotte and Bianca. Dakota cheered them on. Bayley was welcomed to join in. And now it would appear Damage CTRL are FIVE. Shotzi the Sucker ran down to get beaten up by Damage CTRL. Kairi, Asuka and IYO encouraged in Bayley for a BIG OLE HUG. Damage CTRL raised one another's arms. The Ladies stood on top of the world.

Dakota, IYO, Asuka and Kairi appeared on The SmackDown LowDown in a celebratory mood. That was until Bayley showed up, clearly not invited. Dakota pointed out that Bayley is getting exactly what she wanted in the form of Damage CTRL being the most dominant force it's ever been. Go figure that Bayley would take the ego-infused victory lap, bragging about how she brought this together even though it was actually Dakota and IYO who did. Bayley encouraged them to leave with her and celebrate. They begrudgingly did, clearly humoring her... just like the ole spider lured in fly they did to her earlier on SmackDown.

Yes. Bayley is finally getting everything she deserves.
