Bayley recently revealed that three NXT stars are being considered to join Damage CTRL on WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
After several months of absence due to injury, The Role Model Bayley returned at last year’s Summer Slam and formed Damage CTRL alongside Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. The group was active on Monday Night Raw before moving to Friday Night SmackDown in the 2023 WWE Draft.
Bayley recently had an interview with Cultaholic and discussed about several topics. While speaking, Bayley talked about possibility of adding few more superstars to Damage CTRL and also revealed few NXT superstars names that she is considering.
“Well, actually we just had Lyra [Valkyria] on the show last night and I thought she was pretty awesome. It was cool to see someone like that come up. I’ve seen a little bit of her stuff on NXT and just I’m more so liked how she conducted herself backstage and could seeing what that match meant to her and being on the show, what that meant to her in front of her hometown. So, you know, I kinda got my eye on her now. But there are a few I don’t wanna give away, Jacy Jayne, Cora Jade,” she said. [H/T: Sportskeeda Wrestling]
