The women’s division in WWE suffered a backlash as two of the female WWE superstars left the promotion this month. Now fans are worried about two more top female wrestlers in the company.
Recently, Lacey Evans left WWE in August 2023. The reason why she left the Stamford-based promotion is that she wants to run her own cafe in Beaufort, South Carolina. Her last match took place on July 7, 2023, against Zelina Vega.
On the other hand, another top female wrestler left WWE this month. The WWE Superstar in question is Ronda Rousey. Rousey’s last match took place against Shayna Baszler at WWE SummerSlam 2023.
At the pay-per-view event, Shayna Baszler defeated Ronda Rousey in an MMA rules match via technical submission. Following the match, Rousey announced her departure from the company.
After Lacey Evans and Ronda Rousey left the Stamford-based promotion, fans are now worried that Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky of the Damage CTRL will quit as well.

With such speculations going around, it is to be seen what the future holds for Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai in the company.
Is everything alright within the Damage CTRL?
Though previously tension was brewing within the Damage CTRL, everything seems to be fine within the stable as of now. At the WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, Iyo Sky became Miss Money in the Bank 2023. Following that Bayley and Sky had been feuding with Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair.
At SummerSlam 2023 which took place on August 5, 2023, Bianca Belair successfully defeated Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat match to win the WWE Women’s Championship.
However, Iyo Sky cashed in her MITB briefcase and defeated Belair to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. After her victory at the event, Dakota Kai who was out of action for several months, appeared to reunite with the rest of the Damage CTRL to celebrate.
She’s done it! Hell yeah! @iyo_sky is CHAMPION!
I’m so glad Dakota and Bayley were there to celebrate with her.#SummerSlam @WWE @itsBayleyWWE @ImKingKota pic.twitter.com/xqYNi1dd7J— Thor (@ThorLeKaiju) August 6, 2023
Meanwhile, everything might not be alright within the stable as PWInsider Elite recently reported that Kai is not yet cleared to return to action as she underwent surgery. However, Bayley and Sky have been quite active. They faced the team of Belair and Flair on Friday Night SmackDown last week in a losing effort.
Only time will tell if Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai will join the likes of Ronda Rousey and Lacey Evans or if they will continue their dominance. What is your opinion on this matter? Do let us know in the comments.
