Bayley's new stable

[Dale]

WWE filed a trademark on Io Shirai's new ring name of Iyo Sky on 7/31, backing comments made by Dakota Kai on The Bump yesterday that her return to WWE was a last minute decision that quickly came together. WWE routinely files trademarks for new ring names well before the talents appear under those guises. 7/31 was the actual date of Summerslam and Sky's debut on the main roster.

While Bayley had been expected to be at Summerslam, prior to the new creative regime of Triple H coming into effect, there were no concrete plans for her to actually appear on the PPV.

PWInsider.com is also told that Dakota Kai's deal to return was put together quickly but at the last minute as she did not travel to Nashville until the night before and was kept under the cover of darkness from everyone backstage inside a bus.​

Filing the trademark for Iyo on the day of SummerSlam, no kidding it was a last minute decision.

Bayley explains vision for new WWE faction​

While appearing on WWE After the Bell this week, Bayley explained the vision behind her new faction.

Bayley made her return to WWE programming at SummerSlam, appearing for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in July 2021. But she didn't come alone. Dakota Kai (who was released by WWE this April) and IYO SKY (whose contract was set to expire soon) both made their returns alongside Bayley. All three confronted Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair at SummerSlam.

Bayley said on WWE After the Bell that leading a new faction is something she's wanted to do for a couple of years. Bayley said her idea for the group was to both evolve her character and give an opportunity to underutilized talent.

“This is something that I’ve wanted for a while -- I would say a couple of years. And actually something that I’ve talked to [Triple H] about before. Just wanting something different for the division and using girls that I think were either underutilized or that didn’t get that opportunity or didn’t get that spotlight. And just a way to evolve myself [in] many different variations of this faction or group that I wanted.” Bayley said.

“But as I got injured and got to spend more time really thinking about it, I knew that I wanted literally girls who haven’t had the opportunity for Raw or SmackDown or that haven’t been given the opportunity to feel what WrestleMania is like. Because that’s the ultimate goal of everybody. I just felt like if I looked for girls that haven’t had that yet, just the hunger is gonna be that much stronger. It’s just gonna be fresher for the fans and fresher for the locker room where they’ll get excited to work with different people. So once I thought of it like that and thought let me look at NXT, it was so easy. I knew who I wanted and I knew who could benefit from it. I knew who I can benefit from. And I knew who would give to the locker room, really."

Bayley also said on After the Bell that she hopes the Women's Tag Team titles come back and have an important role in WWE. The titles have been vacant since Sasha Banks & Naomi walked out of Raw this May.

The faction of Bayley, Kai, and SKY debuted after Paul "Triple H" Levesque took charge of WWE creative. Kai said on WWE's The Bump earlier this week that her return came together at the "last minute."

Following SummerSlam, Bayley, Kai, and SKY appeared on Raw this Monday. They attacked the injured Becky Lynch and got into a brawl with Belair, Asuka, and Alexa Bliss. The brawl caused a match between Belair and SKY to end in a no contest.

Bayley is the best.

 

[Bayley]

Damage CTRL is great! Im enjoying everything Bayley is doing rn with her group!

The only problem though is this should totally be Bayley's RAW women's title run rn running with Damage CTRL.

Bayley truly is the best of 4hw due to how she carries the womens division and elevates it, the others just selfishly bury everything.

Is that Charlotte slander I hear???

 

[Bayley]

Is that Charlotte slander I hear???

[Y2Jayne]

Fuck's sake.

 

[Bayley]

[Lethal]

Yawn @ this gimmick poster.

 

[Bayley]

The problem with Damage CTRL though is sure Dakota and Io should win the tag belts, but they should only win those titles after Bayley wins the RAW women's title or it makes no sense and they end up looking ridiculous wearing titles and just carried by Bayley, the common logic here is that Bayley should be champion alongside them as tag champions because shes the leader of the group.

And thats why Bayley should of won the RAW womens title earlier! It wasnt too soon! Bayley has been on hiatus for months, she deserves to win her title now that shes back to carrying it!

I sometimes wonder if Vince McMahon would of got it right, he probably would of! Vince knows putting the title on Bayley immediately is what is best for buisiness, these DX jobbers just dont get it!

 

[Dale]

Yeah nobody cares, you posted the same shite in 3 seperate threads.

 

[Bayley]

And yeah I keep stating that fact over and over and over, and those old washed up DX farts and the sheep that think everything they do is right just dont have a clue.

Its just that common logic that its a faction and the leader always wins the title first, then the others in the group go for tag belts or secondary titles.

Bayley should be leading the group as champion and if she was, it would be so much better! Nobody cares about because Bayley isnt the RAW women's champion when she should be, she is still carrying the division though.
