Bayley’s past with Asuka and Kairi Sane is layered. Together, they once dominated the division under the Damage CTRL banner, but that alliance collapsed when the Kabuki Warriors turned on her. Since then, Bayley has shifted into a face role, while the Japanese duo leaned into their heel personas.
Recent weeks have seen Bayley and Lyra Valkyria targeted by the Warriors, which makes her involvement in WarGames logical. Adding Bayley would also open the door for a possible heel turn, given her fluctuating demeanor during matches. A brief moment of respect was even shown when Bayley forced Asuka and Sane away from an attack, hinting at unfinished business that could unfold inside the cage.
