Triple H has incorporated various changes in the WWE product ever since coming into power. One of the significant changes was bringing back the superstars that Hunter saw potential in. Moreover, the 2022 SummerSlam was the first major show of The Cerebral Assassin. As a result, the fans got a glimpse of Triple H’s vision when they saw the return of Dakota Kai and Io Sky along with Bayley, who later came to be known as Damage CTRL.
During an interview with Ariel Helwani, former SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley commented on the genesis of the faction. She said that Triple H was the mastermind behind the formation of Damage CTRL. Moreover, she acknowledged the Cerebral Assassin and said that the faction wouldn’t have existed if Hunter hadn’t taken control. However, the WWE Universe gave a loud pop when they saw the returns of Dakota Kai, Io Sky, and Bayley at SummerSlam 2022.
Bayley made her return to WWE after being out of in-ring action for several months. She brought along with her two of the most talented superstars from the NXT roster. Besides, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion said that she didn’t have the slightest inkling what WWE would have done with her after her comeback. Therefore, speaking with Ariel Helwani, she expressed her gratitude to Triple H for pairing her up with Dakota Kai and Io Sky.
Moreover, she said that it gave her an opportunity to help Dakota and Io and also elevate the women’s division at the same time. She said, “But this, to me, is what I wanted and what I needed, even in my career, not just to help IYO and Dakota and the division.” The SmackDown Women’s Champion believes that it was possible only because of Triple. As a result, she credits Hunter for the formation and success of Damage Control.

Status of Bayley ahead of WrestleMania 39
Ever since the inception of the faction, Bayley has created phenomenal storylines on the main roster. She has given life to the women’s division in WWE. Moreover, she has elevated the women’s tag team division on the roster. However, Damage CTRL lost their tag team championship on this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw. As a result, the WWE Universe got a glimpse of Bayley’s direction for The Show of Shows.
During the tag team championship match on Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus made her comeback. Trish attacked Bayley when the latter was interrupting the match. As a result, it looks like Bayley would probably lock horns with the Hall of Famer at WrestleMania 39.
With WrestleMania less than a month away, Bayley’s direction would be interesting to see. The fans would be on the edge of their seats to witness Trish Stratus wrestle a match against Bayley at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
