Asuka Joins DamageCTRL – The main event of WWE SmackDown on November 10 took an unexpected turn as Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, and Asuka joined forces to face Damage CTRL’s Bayley, IYO SKY, and Kairi Sane following an earlier promo segment.
In a surprising twist, when Belair attempted to make the hot tag to Asuka, she was betrayed. Asuka pulled away, misted Belair in the face, and proceeded to kick her in the head, aligning herself with Damage CTRL to beat down Belair, Flair, and Shotzi, who ran down for the save.
While not officially confirmed, this development hints at the groundwork for a potential WarGames match. The suggested teams include Asuka, Bayley, SKY, and Sane facing off against Belair, Flair, Shotzi, and an as-yet-unrevealed partner.
Asuka, who has predominantly embraced a non-babyface role this year, marked a significant shift by betraying her teammates. Her return at the Royal Rumble led to notable achievements, including winning an Elimination Chamber match and challenging Belair for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39. Asuka eventually dethroned Belair at Night of Champions but held the title only until SummerSlam.
