Damage CTRL Vows To Take The Gold; LWO vs. Judgment Day

In case you missed this week’s Raw, on the second and final night of the WWE Draft, Damage CTRL picks up a big victory against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. In a non-title bout, Bayley and Dakota Kai became victorious against Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.

The match was pretty evenly throughout. At one point Kai tagged the foot of Bayley which the referee wouldn’t take as a legal tag but allowed Bayley to rake the eyes of Morgan. Morgan would eventually get the hot tag for Rodriguez. The final moments had Bayley tagging herself in as Morgan hit ObLIVion on Kai. Bayley stacks up Morgan for the victory.

The second match of the night was between the LWO including Zelina Vega, Rey Mysterio, and Santos Escobar facing Judgment Day’s Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Damian Priest. Eyes were on Vega and Ripley during this match by women’s wrestling fans as they will battle for the SmackDown Women’s Title this Saturday at Backlash.

A few moments of the match included both Vega and Ripley mixing it up with the men. The match would eventually be won by the Judgment Day after Priest pinned Rey.

There was a backstage promo that gave further push for the Raw Women’s Title match at Backlash which will be the champion Bianca Belair taking on IYO SKY. As Belair was being interviewed, all of Damage CTRL entered. Belair commented that back at SummerSlam she was excited to see SKY come to the main roster as she knows was she is capable of and what she can do. But for Belair, she hasn’t seen it on the main roster. She continues to drive a wedge in Damage CTRL and trying to get SKY to believe that Bayley and Kai are holding her back.

Bayley states that with her and Kai’s win over the tag champs and with SKY facing Belair this weekend that Damage CTRL will have all of the gold.

We also got to see two Hall of Famers as Queen Sharmell and Molly Holly both helped reveal draft picks.

Kayden Carter and Katana Chance are called up from NXT to the Raw brand.
