"Time for some Damage CTRL" - Bayley warns WWE star ahead of her first match on SmackDown in over a year
Former RAW Women's Champion Bayley will battle former Raquel Rodriguez on tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown.
The Role Model made her return at SummerSlam following the RAW Women's Championship match between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch. She showed up with IYO SKY and Dakota Kai, who captured the Women's Tag Team Championships from Raquel and Aliyah this past Monday on RAW. The group is now officially known as Damage CTRL.
Bayley missed over a year of action due to a torn ACL suffered before Money in the Bank in 2021. She defeated Aliyah in her first televised match since her return on the August 22 edition of RAW.
The 33-year-old warned that it was time for some "Damage CTRL" ahead of her match against Rodriguez tonight on SmackDown.
"Time for some Damage CTRL on #smackdown," Bayley wrote.
