10 Recent Wrestling Gimmicks That Already Look Done For

For all the talk about how Triple H gets women's wrestling, he hasn't half messed things up with Damage CTRL.

A returning Bayley should have been an open goal, and bringing in the returning Dakota Kai and elevating IYO SKY to the main roster should have been just as easy. To be honest, Bayley should have returned as a babyface, but that's a different rant for a different list.

To establish a stable as a main event threat - which is what Damage CTRL are supposed to be - they should dominate. So why on earth, at the culmination of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship tournament, Trips booked the random duo of Raquel Rodriguez and Aaliyah to win the belts is a mystery.

A swerve for swerve's sake? It was pointless, and having SKY and Kai lose such an important match, so early on, was damaging. Especially when they picked up the belts two weeks later. With their credibility shot, Triple H needed to course correct, and having Bayley defeat Bianca Belair for the Raw Women's Title and bring all the gold to the stable was the right move.

So, of course, despite the insurmountable odds, Belair successfully retained her title belt at Extreme Rules and now Bayley looks like a loser. Why should we take the stable seriously?

In all likelihood, the Role Model will get another shot and she may very well win that Raw Women's Championship. But seeing the three women lose such important matches within two months of their formation just pegs them as losers, and they seem damaged beyond anyone's control.
