In WWE SmackDown, Bayley’s allies declined to support her, resulting in a decisive loss against Bianca Belair. Bayley had previously established a faction named Damage Control with Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai, where she held a leadership role. However, she lost control of the faction when Kayla Singh joined, followed by Oscar. This week on SmackDown, Bayley distracted the referee during a match, hoping Damage Control would take advantage and attack Bianca Belair. Instead, all Damage Control members stayed ringside as bystanders, and Belair secured a significant victory with the KOD after a spear. Reports suggest that despite recent struggles, Bayley is rumored to win the Women’s Royal Rumble 2024 match.

Damage Control members aim for Bayley to win and challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania. However, given the tensions within Damage Control and the possibility of Bayley becoming the challenger for WrestleMania, it seems she might choose to challenge WWE Women’s Champion Iyo Sky instead. If successful, Bayley could become Women’s Champion once again on the grand stage of WrestleMania, adding to her impressive career that includes being a former Raw Women’s Champion and a two-time Tag Team and SmackDown Women’s Champion.
