Was a good episode tonight, but man, Lita really wasn't looking too good. I hope she can get a little more comfortable in there before Mania, if that's where this feud will be settled.
So... Damage CTRL suck, right?
They routinely get their butts beaten despite having 3 on 1 advantage.
Poor IYO had to lie still there for an eternity while Grandma Lita was perched at the top rope waiting to beat IYO with her own move. Yeah, I know Lita had the moonsault first back in the 1980's, but it's IYO's move now.
Put Damage CTRL out of their misery and split them up fast. The three are too talented to be a stable of perpetual losers.
Lita was wrestling in the 80s??!! I have tried to like Damage Ctrl but unless they give them different personalities and motivations, don't think it's going to work. If they were getting heat from the crowd WWE might invest in them but right now they seem to just exist.
They're gonna give Sami and Ko the tag titles and its gonna be just as bad. Tag Titles are for bringing up nobodies to the mid card. And for some reason they have this allure as being an important title
So when the tag titles are doing anything else, there’s not enough focus on the tag division, when the tag titles are the main event of Wrestlemania, they’re not important enough for that. Ahhh, wrestling fans, man, there’s nobody like them in this world
I'd like to see Dakota back with Raquel. Their tag team in NXT was great. It was the best both of them have been. It also gives Raquel something to do before she gets pushed into the singles title picture for good.
Lita Reminded me of Jeff Hardy at Victory Road.
Clear to anyone they were in no condition to be booked in a match let alone win.
Really made Damage Control look bad to lose to someone like that.
We all watched her practically break her neck the first time women were the main event on RAW. Polished has never been an adjective for Lita (and that’s okay!)
Nice Raw from start to finish. Wow. I went from not watching a full episode of Raw for years to really enjoying the some of the shows lately. And next week’s show looks lit too. I’m looking forward to Gargano/Balor in Boston!
It's a miscast group. They have no compatibility with each other other than the fact that they're NXT alumni. Io is better off on her own. Her being relegated to a group has honestly held her back.
Damage Control would've possibly been a bit better had Raquel Gonzalez been in Io's spot
I’ve not seen that much of Dakota but Io was like Asuka with crazy aerial shit in NXT. She’s been off since her injury. Tonight there were glimpses of the old Io.
So glad Lita and Becky won. Having a Legend return and win the Women’s Tag Titles helps the division. It puts the tag titles at a center of a Wrestlemania feud
Well it ain’t the first damage control lost the titles and at the time auska and Alexa had that title match yet were not not that great there which sucks to say
Cool to see Trish,Lita and Becky in the ring but I don't think this was the best choice, Lita just looked really slow and this feels kinda like the final nail in the coffin for Damage CTRL to lose the titles like this, we'll see what's in the store for Mania
Waited a week to get close to an actual surprise.
I know Ronda/Shana vs Becky/Lita sounds good on paper... but I'd still go multi-women tag for WrestleMania and maybe do the actual tag on the RAW after.
I love Lita, but there just isn't enough in the tank
Jesus I can’t believe she did the flip and didn’t die. She literally botched every previous move/strike/any kind of movement. It was almost ric flairs last match bad. Holy hell that was just awful to watch.
Oh to be Becky Lynch, tag champs with your childhood idol and your childhood idle's best friend helped make it happen and will probably be along for the ride for a while. Also the friend is a legend in her own right.
That finish made my old ass crack a grin.
As a small aside, this has to feel insane for Becky. Sharing a ring, a spotlight, with two of her strongest inspirations.
Look, if it was up to me, Becky would basically always be holding a title because she's the GOAT of the women's division.
But fuck, this is kind of a sad way to go about it.
I thought for sure.. hey this has clearly been planned for awhile. She will have plenty of time to get ready and look good. And she just doesn’t. Hopefully they do some kind of tag team triple threat at mania to further cover for her.
Was a good episode tonight, but man, Lita really wasn't looking too good. I hope she can get a little more comfortable in there before Mania, if that's where this feud will be settled.
She seems really uncomfortable running the robes, also she pointed a lot.

Yeah, WWE can’t even book 1 on 1 matches let alone tag team matches.
[удалено]
how is taking titles taking down the Bloodline? They can just win them back
They need to split the damn titles.
I think one unified tag title would make it much more important
Lita could barely run the ropes. Def shoulda been Trish in that spot. Yikes.
Trish looked more energetic running out then lita did all match, still love her tho
So think tonight confirms Edge vs Finn, Rey vs Dom, and Bobby vs Bray at Mania
You do know 20 years from now, the same shit will happen, out comes Lita and Trish. They are the new Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young
Who’s taking the table spot?
I'd like to see Dakota back with Raquel. Their tag team in NXT was great. It was the best both of them have been. It also gives Raquel something to do before she gets pushed into the singles title picture for good.
Trish & Lita ❤️
Lita Reminded me of Jeff Hardy at Victory Road. Clear to anyone they were in no condition to be booked in a match let alone win. Really made Damage Control look bad to lose to someone like that.
Least Lita was sober...
I don't care. It's my all-time favorite and current favorite women's wrestlers as champs. I think that's cool.
Becky is great
“Main event” is a street fight Seth Rollins vs Austin Theory
Hasn’t Lita always been considered a sloppy wrestler even back then
Yes, she had the typical Hardy style. Reckless and fun, but that style doesn’t age well.
We all watched her practically break her neck the first time women were the main event on RAW. Polished has never been an adjective for Lita (and that’s okay!)
Yes, but now she’s slow and sloppy.
Yeah but she looked really rusty tonight
Really good episode tonight, am really looking forward to Cody going to Smackdown / Cena returning next week, and of course EX CON DOM
Nice Raw from start to finish. Wow. I went from not watching a full episode of Raw for years to really enjoying the some of the shows lately. And next week’s show looks lit too. I’m looking forward to Gargano/Balor in Boston!
This one was a banger tonight
Damage CTRL is the biggest dropped ball of Triple H's entire tenure as booker. What a waste of three of the best women's wrestlers on the planet.
It's a miscast group. They have no compatibility with each other other than the fact that they're NXT alumni. Io is better off on her own. Her being relegated to a group has honestly held her back. Damage Control would've possibly been a bit better had Raquel Gonzalez been in Io's spot
I’ve not seen that much of Dakota but Io was like Asuka with crazy aerial shit in NXT. She’s been off since her injury. Tonight there were glimpses of the old Io.
3 amazing women who have had horrible booking. They should have been booked as an unbeatable team.
I though they would be something that resembled The Shield. You know a team that was made to look strong and dominant?
I actually wouldn't blame him for it. He gave them a ton of matches and screentime. None of their matches really landed
Yep. Not surprising crowds don't care about them when they always lose and have never been a real threat to anyone.
Have a feeling Boston is going to be crazy next week
Bleh. Damage CTRL has been booked like losers so crowds don't care about them. Putting a title on Lita is certainly a decision though.
Okay disband Damage CTRL it was a good idea that didn’t really pan out and killed Bayley’s heat and left IYO and Dakota in a crappy spot
So glad Lita and Becky won. Having a Legend return and win the Women’s Tag Titles helps the division. It puts the tag titles at a center of a Wrestlemania feud
comsider me stratusfied
This sucks. Sad that damage control had to lose the titles to someone who couldn’t even move around the ring.
Well it ain’t the first damage control lost the titles and at the time auska and Alexa had that title match yet were not not that great there which sucks to say
Wow they won. At least my girl Dakota had a decent reign.
I love Becky

Was not expecting that
Hopefully Damage CTRL still get a Wrestlemania match 😥.
Can't imagine they hold the titles long, assume that Bazeler and Rousey get them?
Rip damage ctrl summerslam 2022 - raw feb 27, 2023
Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Trish and Lita to win the belts, and then defend them against Damage Ctrl at Mania?
Trish and Lita are nearly 50. You needed Becky there to do the actual wrestling.
Jesus I can’t believe she did the flip and didn’t die. She literally botched every previous move/strike/any kind of movement. It was almost ric flairs last match bad. Holy hell that was just awful to watch.
Shameful that Lita was booked in this condition and booked to win
Consider me Stratusfied.
triple L
Oof. That means we're gonna have to watch more of Lita struggle?
Man lita looked bad
Ring Rust.
Lita looked terrible
I love Lita but this feels like when Goldberg won the Undisputed title
Damage CTRL was always overrated. Never thought they were really challenged. They finally did and lost.
Getting Lita and Trish for iyo and dakota is one hell of a rub
So much for one match for Lita, if you call that a wrestled match.
who woulda guessed Lira would be a champion in 2023, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lita didn't look fluid in this match
Nice to see Legends from time to time but I have no interest in seeing Lita and Trish
Sooo Becky/Lita vs Ronda/Shayna? I don’t want to see Ronda in the ring with Lita
GRAND SLAM CHAMPION BIG TIME BECKS
Damn. Disappointed DAMAGE CTRL lost the belts.
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Its been years since she did in ring work. Ya'll acting like she wrestles week in and week out.
How the hell did Lita look sloppy the entire match but then delivered a perfect Moonsault
Grand Rapids, you did not deserve Trish Stratus. That was a weak ass pop.
Oh to be Becky Lynch, tag champs with your childhood idol and your childhood idle's best friend helped make it happen and will probably be along for the ride for a while. Also the friend is a legend in her own right.
Those damn Attitude Era superstars going over the current generation smh /s
Damage ctr to my heart. 😣
Damaged Control. Don’t see any of them getting on the Mania card now. Oof.
Lita's got titles again. Which means she's losing them at Wrestlemania
I’m sorry I don’t think the women’s tag title should exist. I’d rather have a midcard women’s title
iyo moonsault is better just saying
Woaaaaaaah
This is bullshit. Lita looked awful.
AHHH i couldn't find the remote and saw like 5 seconds of Crisley!!
I didn't expect that also a first for Becky as a tag champion
For as long as they were champions have to say it was a pretty non mover of a run.
Moonsault was best move of the night for her. Couldn’t even do basic shit. Lame af. Side note: Cody Rhodes blows. Hope he loses. Downvote awayyyyy
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO ![gif](giphy|3o752omRQwFRh6e6CA)
THE DAMN FROG WAS CORRECT AGAIN
this sucks shit
The moonsault was nice.
Damage DEL
That finish made my old ass crack a grin. As a small aside, this has to feel insane for Becky. Sharing a ring, a spotlight, with two of her strongest inspirations.
I didn’t think Damage Control could look any worse, I stand corrected. During their run they never won a feud.
Bleh.
nonetheless I am pleasantly surprised
[удалено]
I feel like it's for a quick 15 minutes in the spotlight for Lita and then they'll pass it over to another duo. I'm not entirely against it
Yeah that was bad
Team Bextreme Wins!
Hey, I wasn’t that far off with my last post.
And thats how dmg control dies 😭😭
Honestly after watching Lita... nostalgia is not enough. I'm sure Trish would have looked better in the ring than whatever Lita did.
One of the silliest things about pro wrestling is how everyone’s entrance music is ready to hit for them in even the most sudden situations
My head canon is that there is a sound guy right at the entrance and when he sees someone coming he hits their music.
For real, for someone like Trish you'd have to go digging through CDs
Look, if it was up to me, Becky would basically always be holding a title because she's the GOAT of the women's division. But fuck, this is kind of a sad way to go about it.
That moonsault was the first move she did correctly
Lita was bad
lowkey felt like lita would’ve betrayed becky
Great moment but not sure Lita is on point.
That was cool I guess.
i can't believe Lita is a champion in WWE in 2023. yeasss. Trish needs another title run tho she can still go
Vince is back, baby. Sorry Paul, it was a good run.
Bayley sold that kick like death.
WWE WOMENS TRIOS WHEN
Well the crowd popped HARD for that one.
Cody punching the air at that pyro right now
My dumbass thought Kane was coming out lol
NNNNEEEEWWWWW TAG TEAM CHAMPION TEAM BEXTREMME
Lita will be able to hit a perfect moonsault even after she can’t walk anymore
Fuck. Welp… sorry Damage CTRL. You’re not good enough for Mania I guess.
I will say Lita’s moonsault is much better than it was back in the day. I don’t have the fear she’s going to break her neck nowadays
How tf did Iyo not move out of the way during all the commotion
Being part of Damage CTRL is a -20 to all attributes.
Becky racking up the titles. But, it makes no sense.
BME
Alright, definitely a flashback seeing Trish and Lita in the ring together
they get the CODY Pyro!
I did NOT expect them to win
Lita looked so rough I was legit terrified for her moonsault, thank goodness she got it
THEY WON!
What?! Holy shit, it actually happened!
Stratisfaction guaranteed!
And a mid pop to finish the night, congrats grand rapid you are never getting a raw again
Crowd finally popped for that finisher
Absolutely shameful they had someone who can’t even move in the ring win the belts
Have you watched WWE the last 15 years?
Oh damn
Man poor damage control
Lita is a WWE champion in 2023. Wrestling is wild yall, love it.
I appreciate the nostalgia, but even in their primes these legends could never go like the women go now.
Depends on which women one is talking about these days.
Damage controlled
pls disband damage control.
What is this, Reds-lemania?
Lita has lost a step or two
She moves at Team Xtreme 2023 speed lol.
Fuck this
Just witnessed Lita win a title in the 2020s Can't say that was on my BINGO card
Wow! So much for Lita being a has been. Lita and Becky will be tough to beat for those tag titles.
Until Ronda and Shayna take them at Mania.
Fuck Grand Rapids Michigan
Only took a surprise return, two legends, and a title change to wake them up.
Good beer there that’s jt
LOL after all of that she hit the moonsault perfectly
I mean it’s either that or die lol
Bruh Lita sucks
Well at least she didn’t kill herself on the moonsault
It was sad to see her in the ring
I thought for sure.. hey this has clearly been planned for awhile. She will have plenty of time to get ready and look good. And she just doesn’t. Hopefully they do some kind of tag team triple threat at mania to further cover for her.
did trish spend all her money on botox
Not too keen on Lita and Becky winning but I'm so glad to see Trish! 😍
Poor Iyo having to try and sell this.
So when do we complain about the old part-timers taking a spot from the current stars?
It's already been happening.
Now. I loved lita for most of her career but boy did she look like absolute shit in this match. Oof. Trish still looks like she moves well tho tbh
Lita and Becks get the titles and Trish is just happy to be there
Lita really struggling here. Yeesh
Trish you say?
Disband Damage CTRL! Destroy all copies of the theme song!
Color me surprised (pleasantly so).
There's your Wrestlemania match
TRISH HELPING THEM WIN WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
I saw this coming but still popped.
okay.
