A Cunning Plot

For a few seconds after the bell rings, both Damage CTRL members stare across the ring at each other, Dakota looking cool, calm, and confident, while Bayley looked nervous. She had picked two of the most dangerous women on the roster to team with her, and now she had to go against them! It was so unfair for her!

Both women slowly step forward then, arms raised and both looking to tie up…only for Dakota to just back off, suddenly starting to smirk while Bayley just begins to laugh.

“Oh my god, did you all really think I’m gonna actually try and strip her?” Dakota shouts while laughing herself, the crowd now confused. “Please, she’s done so much for my career, and she deserves to be champion more than anyone! Why would I try and strip her?”

“Do you really think Iyo and Dakota would have signed up for this match if we didn’t have a plan? Newsflash idiots, we’re friends! We’re not gonna try and embarrass each other! We’re all gonna make sure that I leave with the championship and all MY clothes!” Bayley screams, the boos beginning now while Dakota just chuckles.

“So, with that said, I guess there’s only one thing to do.” She sighs and reaches back, slowly unlacing the back of her top to take it off, revealing a white and pink bra that, while more revealing, was definitely more on the conservative side than most would be. Dakota had definitely planned on being stripped like this. She then quickly pulls down and kicks her tights off, exposing a pair of almost entirely covering pink panties, officially eliminating her from the match.

“Dakota Kai has been eliminated from the gauntlet.”

‘BULLLLL-SHIT! BULLLLL-SHIT! BULLLLL-SHIT!’

Needless to say, the crowd was very unhappy about this turn of events. Dakota had just made Bayley’s path easier, and she wasn’t even wearing anything that much more revealing than her ring gear, everyone felt cheated, aside from, that was of course, Bayley.

“Aww, did you idiots really think I was gonna be stripped? Huh?! Newsflash, none of you will EVER get to see my ass!” She shouts, cracking up while Dakota laughs next to her, hugging Bayley before sliding out of the ring and exiting. Now hopefully, the Gauntlet Match could start for real.
