Damage Control

At SummerSlam on July 30, 2022, Bayley returned after a year out of action, forming an alliance with the debuting Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai while confronting Bianca Belair after her Raw Women's Championship defense against Becky Lynch, resuming their feud and moving Bayley to the *Raw* brand. Sky and Kai also joined the *Raw* brand as heels and made their debut for the brand the following night, attacking Becky Lynch. On the August 8 episode of *Raw*, Kai and Sky defeated the team of Dana Brooke and Tamina in the first round of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship tournament. Bayley, Kai, and Sky then challenged Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka to a six-woman tag team match at Clash at the Castle, which they accepted. Sky and Kai advanced to the semi-finals, but they were unsuccessful in winning the finals and the titles. On September 3 at Clash at the Castle, Bayley, Kai and Sky, now officially under the name **Damage Control**, defeated Belair, Bliss and Asuka. On the September 12 episode of *Raw*, Kai and Sky defeated Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Belair then began a rivalry with Bayley in which the champion would retain the Raw Women's Championship against Bayley at Extreme Rules in a ladder match, and at Crown Jewel in a Last Woman Standing match. Despite Kai and Sky losing the Women's Tag Team Championships to Alexa Bliss and Asuka after a 49-day reign, they reclaimed the titles at Crown Jewel five days later.

At Survivor Series WarGames, Damage Control competed in a WarGames match, teaming with Nikki Cross and Rhea Ripley against Belair, Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim and Becky Lynch, but lost when Lynch pinned Kai after a diving legdrop from the top of the cage through a table. On the December 16 episode of *SmackDown*, Kai and Sky retained their titles against Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox after interference from a masked individual, later revealed to be Xia Li.

Damage Control then began a feud with Becky Lynch, with Bayley winning a one-on-one match against Lynch on the December 19 episode of *Raw*. Two weeks later, Kai and Sky defeated Lynch and Michin (Mia Yim) in a non-title tag team match. A rematch between Lynch and Bayley was scheduled to take place at *Raw is XXX*, but did not take place after Damage Control beat down Lynch before the match began. At the Royal Rumble, all three members of Damage Control entered the women's Royal Rumble match and scored five eliminations each, four of which were done as a team. Kai and Sky were eliminated by Becky Lynch, while Bayley was eliminated by Liv Morgan. The cage match was rescheduled for the February 6 episode of *Raw* after Lynch forced Bayley into accepting by physically threatening an injured Kai. Lynch won the match after Lita prevented Kai and Sky from interfering. On the February 20 episode of *Raw*, Lynch and Lita challenged Kai and Sky for the titles, which Bayley accepted on their behalf. The following week, despite interference from Bayley, Kai and Sky lost the tag titles to Lynch and Lita after interference from the returning Trish Stratus, ending their second reign at 114 days. The following week, Lynch, Lita and Stratus challenged Damage Control to a six-woman tag team match at WrestleMania 39, which Bayley accepted. Damage Control would lose to Lynch, Lita and Stratus at WrestleMania.

As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, Damage Control were drafted to the *SmackDown* brand. On the May 12 episode of *SmackDown*, Kai and Sky lost their match for the Women's Tag Team Championships against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. During the match, both Kai and Morgan suffered injuries, with Kai tearing her ACL and Morgan injuring her shoulder. Morgan and Rodriguez would relinquish the titles on the following week's episode of *SmackDown* due to Morgan's injury. Bayley and Sky lost the fatal four-way tag team match on the May 29 episode of *Raw* to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler to crown the new champions. On the June 9 episode of *SmackDown*, both Bayley and Sky qualified for the women's Money in the Bank ladder match. At Money in the Bank, Bayley pushed Sky off the ladder when Sky was trying to grab the briefcase. Sky later handcuffed Bayley to Becky Lynch, another competitor in the match, to grab the briefcase and win the match. On the July 8 episode of *SmackDown*, Sky attempted to cash in her Money in the Bank contract against Asuka for the WWE Women's Championship, but was interrupted by Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair. At SummerSlam on August 5, Sky successfully cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Belair to win the WWE Women's Championship for the first time. Kai made her physical appearance for the first time since her injury to celebrate Sky's victory. On the August 25 episode of *SmackDown*. Sky successfully defended the title against Zelina Vega. She would also retain against Asuka on the September 22 episode of *SmackDown,* and against Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a triple threat match at Fastlane.

On November 4, at the Crown Jewel, Kairi Sane made her WWE return after being released in 2021 to assist Sky to retain the WWE Women's Championship against Bianca Belair. On the November 10 episode of *SmackDown*, Sane officially joined the group. Later that night, during a six-woman tag match against Damage Control, Asuka betrayed her teammates Belair and Flair to reunite with Sane and Sky, and officially joined the group on the following week's episode of *SmackDown*. In the same episode, Sky issued a challenge to Belair, Flair, Shotzi, and Becky Lynch to a WarGames match at Survivor Series War Games. Damage Control lost the WarGames match, with Bayley taking the pin after being put through a table by Lynch.
