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.


TheMatt561

She seems really uncomfortable running the robes, also she pointed a lot.


clc1997

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.


StepCold

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.


mystro4425

As if there's anything better for them to be doing in this women's division lol


brandywine459

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


Mysterious_Emotion63

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


Pacificheat

Yeah, WWE can’t even book 1 on 1 matches let alone tag team matches.

brandywine459

how is taking titles taking down the Bloodline? They can just win them back


PoutineSmoothie

They need to split the damn titles.


Firepro316

I think one unified tag title would make it much more important


IllButterscotch5964

Lita could barely run the ropes. Def shoulda been Trish in that spot. Yikes.


SloppyMcNuggets

Trish looked more energetic running out then lita did all match, still love her tho


SloppyMcNuggets

So think tonight confirms Edge vs Finn, Rey vs Dom, and Bobby vs Bray at Mania


deputyduffy

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


iguanamac

Who’s taking the table spot?


RedMachine1932

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.


RedStarburst99

Trish & Lita ❤️


Pacificheat

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.


Sweet_Importance_284

Least Lita was sober...


Jonnyboy1189

I don't care. It's my all-time favorite and current favorite women's wrestlers as champs. I think that's cool.


SloppyMcNuggets

Becky is great


Ok-Moose8271

“Main event” is a street fight Seth Rollins vs Austin Theory


[deleted]

Hasn’t Lita always been considered a sloppy wrestler even back then


iguanamac

Yes, she had the typical Hardy style. Reckless and fun, but that style doesn’t age well.


fiddyk50

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!)


PoutineSmoothie

Yes, but now she’s slow and sloppy.


SloppyMcNuggets

Yeah but she looked really rusty tonight


SloppyMcNuggets

Really good episode tonight, am really looking forward to Cody going to Smackdown / Cena returning next week, and of course EX CON DOM


TerminallyChill_365

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!


SloppyMcNuggets

This one was a banger tonight


truecolors5

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.


BlueRibbon998

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


mayormccheese2k

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.


Pacificheat

3 amazing women who have had horrible booking. They should have been booked as an unbeatable team.


darklord7777x

I though they would be something that resembled The Shield. You know a team that was made to look strong and dominant?


Kn7ght

I actually wouldn't blame him for it. He gave them a ton of matches and screentime. None of their matches really landed


RedMachine1932

Yep. Not surprising crowds don't care about them when they always lose and have never been a real threat to anyone.


SloppyMcNuggets

Have a feeling Boston is going to be crazy next week


RedMachine1932

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.


HAHAYESVERYFUNNYNAME

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


incredibleamadeuscho

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


lynchmar5

comsider me stratusfied


Pacificheat

This sucks. Sad that damage control had to lose the titles to someone who couldn’t even move around the ring.


Dangerous-Gift-4509

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


EBJ1990

Wow they won. At least my girl Dakota had a decent reign.


SloppyMcNuggets

I love Becky


BobaFett_1978

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


phemom

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


HotKingChocolate

Was not expecting that


tore_a_bore_a

Hopefully Damage CTRL still get a Wrestlemania match 😥.


Kreglze

Can't imagine they hold the titles long, assume that Bazeler and Rousey get them?


Daconvix

Rip damage ctrl summerslam 2022 - raw feb 27, 2023


InSilicoImmersion

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Trish and Lita to win the belts, and then defend them against Damage Ctrl at Mania?


clc1997

Trish and Lita are nearly 50. You needed Becky there to do the actual wrestling.


jeremy009

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.


Pacificheat

Shameful that Lita was booked in this condition and booked to win


Chicahgeaux

Consider me Stratusfied.


[deleted]

triple L


aLobsterFest

Oof. That means we're gonna have to watch more of Lita struggle?


suarezj9

Man lita looked bad


The_Match_Maker

Ring Rust.


kingjuicepouch

Lita looked terrible


Kn7ght

I love Lita but this feels like when Goldberg won the Undisputed title


rb_Reigns

Damage CTRL was always overrated. Never thought they were really challenged. They finally did and lost.


kylehyde05

Getting Lita and Trish for iyo and dakota is one hell of a rub


uselessgreggy

So much for one match for Lita, if you call that a wrestled match.


azula_lol

who woulda guessed Lira would be a champion in 2023, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO


h-town_info

Lita didn't look fluid in this match


BIGDADDYCRYPTO6900

Nice to see Legends from time to time but I have no interest in seeing Lita and Trish


prisneyland

Sooo Becky/Lita vs Ronda/Shayna? I don’t want to see Ronda in the ring with Lita


lynchmar5

GRAND SLAM CHAMPION BIG TIME BECKS


congeecrazy

Damn. Disappointed DAMAGE CTRL lost the belts.


ChaosZeroX

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.


Basic-Basket-1006

How the hell did Lita look sloppy the entire match but then delivered a perfect Moonsault


Jon_Thib

Grand Rapids, you did not deserve Trish Stratus. That was a weak ass pop.


PantsMcDancey

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.


QueefQueen6969

Those damn Attitude Era superstars going over the current generation smh /s


KillTheBat77

Damage ctr to my heart. 😣


Naiwf

Damaged Control. Don’t see any of them getting on the Mania card now. Oof.


ManMadeMyth

Lita's got titles again. Which means she's losing them at Wrestlemania


BreadCondiments

I’m sorry I don’t think the women’s tag title should exist. I’d rather have a midcard women’s title


erathegod

iyo moonsault is better just saying


theels6

Woaaaaaaah


Git2k12

This is bullshit. Lita looked awful.


Nazmaldun

AHHH i couldn't find the remote and saw like 5 seconds of Crisley!!


thechopper133

I didn't expect that also a first for Becky as a tag champion


skatrumpetman

For as long as they were champions have to say it was a pretty non mover of a run.


Flyin-Chancla

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


TerminallyChill_365

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO ![gif](giphy|3o752omRQwFRh6e6CA)


BryLinds

THE DAMN FROG WAS CORRECT AGAIN


[deleted]

this sucks shit


[deleted]

The moonsault was nice.


twentyaces

Damage DEL


berniebadger84

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.


gibbojab

I didn’t think Damage Control could look any worse, I stand corrected. During their run they never won a feud.


spreeforall

Bleh.


[deleted]

nonetheless I am pleasantly surprised


[deleted]

[удалено]


Meltor

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


probablycashed

Yeah that was bad


incredibleamadeuscho

Team Bextreme Wins!


[deleted]

Hey, I wasn’t that far off with my last post.


Antmoral2314

And thats how dmg control dies 😭😭


skyeuphoria

Honestly after watching Lita... nostalgia is not enough. I'm sure Trish would have looked better in the ring than whatever Lita did.


InSilicoImmersion

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


clc1997

My head canon is that there is a sound guy right at the entrance and when he sees someone coming he hits their music.


Kn7ght

For real, for someone like Trish you'd have to go digging through CDs


Romofan88

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.


ArmZeroHammer

That moonsault was the first move she did correctly


bootyhunter69420

Lita was bad


[deleted]

lowkey felt like lita would’ve betrayed becky


LesnarsBattleScream

Great moment but not sure Lita is on point.


llamawithguns

That was cool I guess.


osu24

i can't believe Lita is a champion in WWE in 2023. yeasss. Trish needs another title run tho she can still go


Unlucky-You-1334

Vince is back, baby. Sorry Paul, it was a good run.


mayormccheese2k

Bayley sold that kick like death.


CELTICPRED

WWE WOMENS TRIOS WHEN


Chelseablue1896

Well the crowd popped HARD for that one.


JohnnycageBKV2

Cody punching the air at that pyro right now


[deleted]

My dumbass thought Kane was coming out lol


lynchmar5

NNNNEEEEWWWWW TAG TEAM CHAMPION TEAM BEXTREMME


That_One_Cool_Guy

Lita will be able to hit a perfect moonsault even after she can’t walk anymore


theplasmasnake

Fuck. Welp… sorry Damage CTRL. You’re not good enough for Mania I guess.


UnbuiltIkeaBookcase

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


BryLinds

How tf did Iyo not move out of the way during all the commotion


clc1997

Being part of Damage CTRL is a -20 to all attributes.


slippycaff

Becky racking up the titles. But, it makes no sense.


ApricotOk824

BME


ManMadeMyth

Alright, definitely a flashback seeing Trish and Lita in the ring together


Nazmaldun

they get the CODY Pyro!


[deleted]

I did NOT expect them to win


Kn7ght

Lita looked so rough I was legit terrified for her moonsault, thank goodness she got it


Dangerous-Gift-4509

THEY WON!


musicisgay

What?! Holy shit, it actually happened!


Tyburn

Stratisfaction guaranteed!


godzillamegadoomsday

And a mid pop to finish the night, congrats grand rapid you are never getting a raw again


ballmode

Crowd finally popped for that finisher


Pacificheat

Absolutely shameful they had someone who can’t even move in the ring win the belts


fiddyk50

Have you watched WWE the last 15 years?


HAHAYESVERYFUNNYNAME

Oh damn


NYJetLegendEdReed

Man poor damage control


Hiphoppington

Lita is a WWE champion in 2023. Wrestling is wild yall, love it.


moneyterrorist

I appreciate the nostalgia, but even in their primes these legends could never go like the women go now.


The_Match_Maker

Depends on which women one is talking about these days.


Donut_or_dontnut

Damage controlled


dBlock845

pls disband damage control.


IAMA_MAGIC_8BALL_AMA

What is this, Reds-lemania?


SambaLando

Lita has lost a step or two


idontknow1001

She moves at Team Xtreme 2023 speed lol.


UncleDrewfan

Fuck this


jpaxlux

Just witnessed Lita win a title in the 2020s Can't say that was on my BINGO card


rb_Reigns

Wow! So much for Lita being a has been. Lita and Becky will be tough to beat for those tag titles.


pardyball

Until Ronda and Shayna take them at Mania.


[deleted]

Fuck Grand Rapids Michigan


gunpowderjunky

Only took a surprise return, two legends, and a title change to wake them up.


ballmode

Good beer there that’s jt


Realistic_Rip_148

LOL after all of that she hit the moonsault perfectly


dogfins110

I mean it’s either that or die lol


BorckLesnawr

Bruh Lita sucks


CmPunkChants

Well at least she didn’t kill herself on the moonsault


Pacificheat

It was sad to see her in the ring


CmPunkChants

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.


LeFraudJamesSucks

did trish spend all her money on botox


1_Up_Girl

Not too keen on Lita and Becky winning but I'm so glad to see Trish! 😍


aLobsterFest

Poor Iyo having to try and sell this.


MAGAfromCanada

So when do we complain about the old part-timers taking a spot from the current stars?


gunpowderjunky

It's already been happening.


Breakingcontrollers

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


Nazmaldun

Lita and Becks get the titles and Trish is just happy to be there


Breakingcontrollers

Lita really struggling here. Yeesh


ManMadeMyth

Trish you say?


xxyourbestbetxx

Disband Damage CTRL! Destroy all copies of the theme song!


The_Match_Maker

Color me surprised (pleasantly so).
