This is being written ahead of the SmackDown reveal of the babyface team's final member, and while that may directly impact the events within the match, it won't make a difference by the final bell.

In 2019, Rhea Ripley's momentum on NXT was so unrelenting that Triple H confidently booked her and babyface partner Candice LeRae to overturn a dramatic 4-on-2 advantage over the heels ahead of a major title match several weeks later.

This will happen again - Ripley scoring the victory for her team will be the first tease of a surefire WrestleMania 39 banger with Bianca Belair. Damage CTRL are beyond saving as top heel threats, but getting a win thanks to The Judgment Day star will be enough on the night when there are other pops to be found elsewhere. An Alexa Bliss heel turn isn't out of the question based on 'The EST' needing an opponent between now and the Royal Rumble, and the surprise entrant on the face side - be it Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Beth Phoenix or LeRae herself - can get a pop without necessarily getting a win.

Not least when the big surprise can drop afterwards.

Winners - Damage CTRL, Rhea Ripley & Nikki Cross
