Meanwhile, Becky Lynch will target the head of the snake.

Damage CTRL put 'The Man' on the shelf after SummerSlam, but Lynch got some measure of revenge by blasting Dakota Kai and IYO SKY with a leg drop through a table at WarGames. That bump was one of the show's biggest spots, and it was a taste of what's to come for the former 'Big Time Becks'.

It was no coincidence that WWE scripted Becky and Bayley to have an in-ring staredown then brief scrap during the opener on Saturday - that was a sample of what's next for both. They're heading for a massive one-on-one crunch clash that'll give Lynch proper vengeance for what happened over the summer.

Or, and hear this one out, perhaps Bayley (someone Becks called a "little bitch") will score the win and breathe some new life into Damage CTRL's bones. The whole situation does, however, kinda smack of a faction starting to dwindle more than kick into a higher gear.
