Bayley's Original Damage CTRL Plans Included Toni Storm & Others

Bayley told Van Vliet:

"I had a whole [plan], you know, there's five of us. My pitch for Damage CTRL, I also had Raquel in it. I also had Alba Fyre in it. And I had so many other girls in mind, too. I had Toni Storm. I wanted Toni Storm in it."Bayley

She continued:

"But when I actually sat at the PC and shot stuff, it was with Raquel and Alba. And, like, all five of us, I had reasons why I wanted them. Raquel was obviously our muscle, but she was teaming with Dakota at the time, I believe. So they worked out perfectly. Alba and IYO I think were teaming a little bit there, so they worked out perfectly. But in my mind, it was there’s two tag teams, and then IYO was my champion. You know, she was going to be the champion.

Bayley was supposed to wrestle at WrestleMania 41 alongside Lyra Valkyria in a tag team match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, but was pulled from the show after suffering an injury after being attacked backstage. Her absence would make way for the return of Becky Lynch.
