Dakota Kai and IYO SKY aligned themselves with Bayley at SummerSlam 2022, shocking many fans to see the pair back on WWE TV.
Control has been a faction that has garnered much interest from fans due to the trio all returning on the same night just a few short weeks ago.
Speaking to Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy, Dakota revealed that Bayley first approached her with the idea for the faction in 2018.
“Bayley has been talking to me about this idea for years now,” Dakota said. “We were talking about when I was still in NXT, it was like 2018 when she first brought it up to me and then again at Evolution.We just kept like saying, ‘This needs to happen, we want this to happen so bad,’ and obviously the members changed but I was the constant. So I think it’s very poetic that it happened at SummerSlam and that her idea that we’ve been talking about for so long finally happened on such a big stage and with IYO as well, it was an emotional moment for all of us that it finally happened.”
