10 New Directions After WWE Crown Jewel 2022
6. Damage CTRL Settling Down
Please say this will happen.
Damage CTRL has been far too up and down since debuting back at SummerSlam. They seemed to lose all momentum quickly, and some scrappy decision-making in the Women's Tag Title scene defo hasn't helped there. Thankfully, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY regained their belts in Saudi.
Hopefully, that'll let them settle down. Bayley's rivalry vs. Bianca Belair concluded with a rather definitive win for the babyface at Crown Jewel too (in a barmy/rather creative 'Last Woman Standing' effort), so she'll have to move on to fresh feuds. Fresh, fresh, fresh is a good thing for CTRL.
Kai and SKY showed opposite Alexa Bliss and Asuka that they're capable of making the much-maligned tag straps mean something. That quartet put on possibly the best female tag bout WWE has ever presented, and they should get the chance to build on it.
To do that, CTRL will need to keep looking strong rather than cowardly.
