Bayley was away for well over a year after suffering an ACL injury while training at the WWE Performance Center. She finally returned during WWE SummerSlam, alongside Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. They are known as Damage CTRL.
Kai and Sky even won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, while The Role Model recently challenged Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Title at Extreme Rules.
However, many are not a fan of their booking. In fact, many believe Bayley’s talents are being wasted with the faction. While speaking on Busted Open, Bully Ray urged Bayley to move on from the faction.
“People are just not in to Damage CTRL right now. They don’t care about Damage CTRL, and if they don’t care, they’re not going to care if the babyface beats them up. It’s just kinda like, ‘Okay, fine, yeah, we get it, move on.’ Damage CTRL doesn’t have a s**t load of heat, and if the devil ain’t got no heat, Jesus can’t blow a comeback. This is why strong heels are so important.”
We will have to wait and see what WWE will have planned for Bayley and her faction in the coming weeks.
