WWE Quietly Disbands Damage CTRL After Dakota Kai Release

WWE has quietly disbanded the dominant women's faction Damage CTRL, with the decision made internally in early May 2025 following Dakota Kai's release from the company. By that time, Bayley had already split from the group, and injuries had sidelined key members Asuka and Kairi Sane, leaving IYO SKY as the only active member. WWE instructed commentators to stop referring to the remaining members as part of Damage CTRL, and despite Asuka and Kairi's returns, there are currently no plans for a full reunion or revival of the faction. However, WWE has not ruled out future collaborations among former members or the possibility of bringing back the Damage CTRL name if the right creative opportunity arises. The group, known for its chaos and championship wins, has been shelved without a formal storyline farewell, with members now pursuing individual paths. Fans and insiders note that while the faction's era is over for now, its legacy remains significant in WWE's women's division.
