WWE may have quietly teased a major reunion just hours before Monday Night RAW goes live in Seattle. While the show is already packed with high-stakes action, a brief backstage moment released by the company has quickly become the center of attention among fans.
In the footage, Asuka is seen walking backstage alongside Kairi Sane. At first glance, the clip appeared routine, but viewers soon noticed IYO SKY standing in the background of the same frame. The sight of three former allies sharing the same space instantly fueled speculation about a potential reunion.
The brief interaction was enough to reignite discussion around one of the most influential factions in WWE’s women’s division.
Damage CTRL reunion rumors heat up
The moment has led many fans to believe that WWE could be hinting at the return of Damage CTRL. The faction once featured Bayley, IYO SKY, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Dakota Kai and became one of the most dominant groups in the women’s division.
Known for their strong chemistry and impactful presence, the group played a key role in shaping several major storylines. However, injuries and shifting creative directions eventually led to the faction drifting apart.
Seeing multiple core members together again has now sparked strong speculation that WWE could be preparing to revive the faction at a crucial moment.
High stakes ahead of RAW’s Women’s Gauntlet match
The reunion tease arrives on a night when the women’s division already has plenty at stake. RAW will feature a Gauntlet match to determine the next challenger for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Asuka, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, IYO SKY, Ivy Nile, and Raquel Rodriguez will compete, with the winner earning a title opportunity against AJ Lee.
AJ Lee currently holds the Women’s Intercontinental Championship after defeating Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber 2026, marking a major chapter in the division since her return.
Meanwhile, the landscape of the women’s division continues to shift rapidly. IYO SKY recently lost the Women’s Tag Team Championships alongside Rhea Ripley to Lash Legend and Nia Jax, while Ripley has moved on to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania.
