Damage Control (stylized as Damage CTRL) is a villainous professional wrestling stable composed of leader Bayley, Dakota Kai, & Iyo Sky currently performing in WWE on the Raw brand. Kai and Sky are the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in their record-tying second reign.

History

At SummerSlam on July 30, 2022, Bayley returned after a year out of action due to injury, forming an alliance with the returning Dakota Kai and Io Shirai (now known as Iyo Sky, stylized in all caps) while confronting Bianca Belair after her Raw Women's Championship defense against Becky Lynch, resuming their feud and moving Bayley back to the Raw brand.[1][2][3] Original plans according to Kai, was to have a stable consisting of herself, Tegan Nox and Candice LeRae.[4]

At Clash at the Castle, Bayley, Kai and Sky, now officially under the name Damage CTRL, defeated Belair, Alexa Bliss and Asuka.[5] On the September 12 episode of Raw, Kai and Sky defeated Aliyah and Rodriguez to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.[6] Belair then began a rivalry with Bayley in which the chanpion would retain the Raw Women's Championship against Bayley at Extreme Rules in a ladder match,[7] and at Crown Jewel in a Last Woman Standing match.[8] Despite Kai and Sky losing the Women's Tag Team Championship to Alexa Bliss and Asuka after a 49-day reign,[9] they reclaimed the titles at Crown Jewel 5 days later.[10][11]

At Survivor Series WarGames, Damage CTRL competed in a WarGames match, teaming with Nikki Cross and Rhea Ripley against Belair, Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim and a returning Becky Lynch, but lost when Lynch pinned Kai after a diving legdrop from the top of the cage through a table.[12] On the December 16 episode of SmackDown, Kai and Sky retained their titles against Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox after interference from a masked individual, later revealed to be Xia Li.
