France was not kind to Damage CTRL. Dakota Kai and WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Asuka & Kairi Sane were forced into teaming up with that airhead Tiffany Stratton to face Bayley, Bianca Belair, Naomi and Jade Cargill on the May 3, 2024 SmackDown. A lack of a good partner *cough* Stratton *cough* is to blame for Damage CTRL losing that match. On a better note, Dakota bid Bayley a fitting farewell-for-now with that scorpion kick. In a wonderful sidenote, Bianca has wisely still not forgiven nor put any trust in that snake Bayley.

May 4, 2024. Backlash: France. Asuka & Kairi Sane lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles to Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair. But not before The Kabuki Warriors laid it in to both challengers for most the match. It must be noted that Belair's and Cargill's win came in controversial fashion with the legal competitors both not involved in the pinfall. Sadly, the referee's call is final and Damage CTRL are only able to appear on Monday Night RAW. For Now.

Asuka is taking some time off to heal a nagging injury. When The Living Legend is good to go Kairi Sane and her will bring the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles back to Damage CTRL, allowing The Ladies Magnificent to travel between all three brands once again and retrieve their stolen property from Bayley. In the meantime, Damage CTRL will focus on the Women's World Championship held by another ole rival Becky Lynch.
