Chapter 3 Part 1 | Living Breathing Hellfire

October 10th 2022. Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Monday Night RAW. That building. History was made there on August 22nd 2015 courtesy of Bayley and Sasha Banks. That was the match that certified everything the NXT Women's Revolution did to that point. It shaped the future of both NXT and the main roster. Sadly, Bayley's homecoming was sans the RAW Women's Title she was destined to win Saturday at Extreme Rules. But there is always another battle. The Wrath of Damage CTRL will be felt. The Reign of Bayley will come.

Prior to the show, Byron Saxton sat down with Bayley to interview her about her match at Extreme Rules. His first question was asking if her loss was a setback in Damage CTRL's plan to takeover the Women's Division. A stupid question to start with when everyone damn well knows they are only stronger now and the war is far from done. To add more insult to that stupid question, Bayley was in a subdued state clearly initially not interested in doing much talking. So it was up to The Orator of Damage CTRL Dakota Kai to preach some damn truth.

Dakota told Byron if he wanted to talk about setbacks to ask her why Bayley brought her with her to SummerSlam. "I was at rock bottom. And she was the only one to extend a hand to help me." Emotion poured from Our Captain's voice and covered her face as she spoke those words. I will assume she means people who had it in their power to give her, her job back because all her fans continuously rallied behind her from April 29th all the way up to July 30th. Screw any haters. Team Kick has always and will always support Our Captain in kayfabe and Charlie in real life.

Okay, I got a tad emotional there myself for a moment. Back to the interview. Dakota dared any of the other women to try and hurt IYO SKY and Bayley because if they even make a move, she'll do anything to protect her girls. Our Captain is in Lioness mode and I'm loving it. The division should consider that the warning none of them even deserve. They should already be living in fear of it. FEAR! But I can't wait to see those fools try then enjoy watching Our Captain lop their heads off one by one like only she can do followed by some IYO over the moonsaults.

Kai wisely pointed out she can't see Bianca, Asuka and Alexa Bliss do that for each other. Fair point. Bianca lives in fear her "friends" will challenge her. Bliss and Asuka want to be rid of Damage CTRL because they stand in their way of challenging Bianca. IYO added that none of the other women have any clue what Dakota and her would do for Bayley.

Dakota shouted with fire that when Bayley gets her re-match against Bianca for the title, they will punish Belair until Bayley is the one holding the gold she rightfully deserves. IYO said she doesn't like Bianca like only IYO can say. She added, translated through Bayley, that tonight Bayley will kick Candice LeRae's ass when they meet in the ring on RAW. Damage CTRL had said what they had to say and were out.

Bayley would come to the ring alone and give Candice a fight until The Poison Pixie turned her attempt at The Rose Plant into a cradle to steal a pinfall victory. Candice may have won because Bayley's ribs were aching from the ladder match but the price of her victory was the rage of Damage CTRL unleashed upon her. Kai and SKY mauled her as she headed down the aisle. They brought her back to the ring where IYO lifted her up in a double underhook position so Dakota could superkick her. SKY finished the double team with a backbreaker.

Bianca decided this week to suddenly run to Candice's aid. BAM! I heard Bayley's Battle Cry. Under the Damage Sky. Bayley laid her out with a B-Trigger knee strike. The Role Model held Bianca so Kai and SKY could deliver a badass double team pump kick and apron slide dropkick. Candice made the mistake of trying to get up, so she felt the wrath of a running knee from Bayley. The rage would end with a triple team where Dakota and IYO held Bianca so Bayley could descend off the ropes with an elbow drop. Damage CTRL stood tall over the two fools who dared to trigger their rage.

Damage CTRL later graced RAW Talk with some time. Bayley said RAW was all about Damage CTRL reminding everyone that regardless of what happened at Extreme Rules they are still in control of the division. Dakota welcomed Bianca to keep on coming and get beaten down every time. SKY stopped Kai, wanting to finish herself with some powerfully spoken, cryptic words. Bayley felt it best not to translate them and Damage CTRL took their leave. Damage CTRL brought The Rage. The Wrath. The Living Breathing Hellfire. Free Life Lesson: Don't Fuck With The Ladies.
