It's surely only a matter of time before the other members of Damage CTRL put the boots to Bayley and IYO SKY usurps her as leader of the group. Then, that can lead to the return of Sasha Banks, right? Right?! OK, only kidding. Bayley going baby is promising though.

She's been a heel forever, and it makes sense that IYO has sneakily surrounded herself with allies to try and seize power from under Bayley's nose. SmackDown's opening segment did a nice job of laying the groundwork for what's to come by having the so-called CTRL centrepiece act all nervous.

Bayley knows what's coming deep down. We all do.

This is the kind of thing WWE can toy around with for months if they so choose. The addition of Kairi Sane and Asuka to Damage CTRL means there's a fresh wrinkle on the pre-existing tensions between Bayley and IYO, so everyone can ride this train all the way to WrestleMania.
