Bayley's road to WrestleMania 40 just took a brutal turn. On the latest episode of SmackDown, Dakota Kai, seemingly an ally, shockingly betrayed Bayley, aligning herself with Damage CTRL (IYO SKY, Asuka, and Kairi Sane). ## The betrayal took place during a tag team match between Bayley and Dakota against the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, Asuka and Kairi. As the match reached its climax, Dakota inexplicably abandoned Bayley on the ring apron, revealing her true allegiance to Damage CTRL. ## This stunning twist left Bayley reeling, surrounded by a hostile force. The photos Dakota uploaded on Instagram, posing alongside Judgment Day and throwing shade at Bayley ("I look your way… and don’t even see you."). ## With Dakota now in Damage CTRL's ranks, Bayley faces a tough challenge. Not only will she have to contend with IYO SKY for the Women's Championship, but Damage CTRL will likely do everything in their power to derail her pursuit of the title. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔩𝔦𝔢 𝔊𝔦𝔯𝔩 (@imkingkota) ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The animosity between Bobby Lashley and Karrion Kross shows no signs of abating. Throughout 2024, Kross has established the formidable Final Testament faction, specifically targeting Lashley and his allies, the Street Profits. ## The conflict reached a fever pitch on the February 23rd episode of SmackDown when Kross struck Lashley with a chair, creating a crucial distraction that allowed the Authors of Pain to overpower the Street Profits. ## In a chilling message delivered exclusively on SmackDown, Kross, alongside his imposing advisor Paul Ellering, further stoked the flames of their rivalry, leaving Lashley with a taste of what's to come.## Karrion Kross: "Good evening, I have a message for Bobby Lashley, you've been at the top of this business for a very long time, but you've had everybody fooled around here. You've got everybody thinking you're this untouchable guy, that you're invincible, but I know you now, I see it, that's a lie, Bobby. Deep down, you are scared to death, that you are never gonna stand in a WWE ring again as World Champion. ## And it's funny how that has a way of changing people. But what's even funnier to me than that is that I'm the one who's solely responsible for you losing out on the opportunity to compete at WrestleMania. That makes me very, very happy."## Paul Ellering: "So, Bobby, the question isn't what you've lost, but what more can you afford to lose?."## B-Fab: "I know, I didn't hear Karrion say that Bobby is scared, the same man who had to go get two gargoyles to watch his back." ## Angelo Dawkins: "Scared ain't in our vocabulary, we gonna take that as disrespect." ## Montez Ford: "Disrespect. I mean, 2024 is supposed to be our year, we're supposed to be focusing on championship gold and bigger and better things, but it seems as though our revelation is within The Final Testament." ## Bobby Lashley: "Kross, you're so desperate to get my attention, well, congratulations, you have my attention. But here's where you got it wrong, I don't fear men like you, so enough of the mind games, me and you, one on one, next week, let's finish this...Tick tock." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Since turning his back on Rey Mysterio in November, Santos Escobar has been on a tear. The former NXT Champion injured the legendary luchador, sidelined him with a torn meniscus, and has been busy building his own powerful faction.## Escobar's growing alliance, featuring Humberto Carillo, Angel Garza, and Elektra Lopez, presented a formidable challenge to the existing Legado del Fantasma (LWO) led by Mysterio. This past SmackDown, the tension reached a boiling point.## In a Street Fight against Carlito, Escobar received illegal assistance from Carillo and Garza. However, the tide turned when Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro, former LWO members, unexpectedly intervened and neutralized Carillo and Garza.## Mysterio then made a dramatic entrance, hobbling on crutches. Initially, Escobar mocked the injured icon. But the tables turned swiftly as Mysterio discarded his crutches, disarmed Carillo and Garza, and distracted Escobar long enough for Carlito to score the upset victory. ## Mysterio's return signals a renewed focus on his rivalry with Escobar. With WrestleMania fast approaching, the possibility of a high-stakes singles match between the two former partners seems increasingly likely. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Fans watching the March 1st, 2024 edition of WWE SmackDown were left confused by several instances where the screen went black for a few seconds during The Rock's segment. ## Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com has revealed the reason behind these blackouts: a fan holding a "DIE ROCKY DIE" sign.## The network deemed the sign necessary to censor due to its reference to The Rock's controversial "Die Rocky Die" chants from his early wrestling career. Despite his immense success, such references can still elicit strong reactions, prompting the network to take action.## This wasn't the only instance of censorship during the broadcast. In an effort to maintain a family-friendly viewing experience and adhere to network standards, the audio was also muted at certain points due to profane chants from the audience. This is a common practice in live television broadcasts.## The random blackouts on tonight's #SmackDown broadcast on FOX was because of a fan that has a "Die Rocky Die" sign that the network is censoring.— PWlnsider— Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) March 2, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena fans rejoice, The 16-time WWE Champion may be able to make an appearance at this year's WrestleMania, though it likely won't be in a full-fledged wrestling match. ## While Cena previously acknowledged his diminishing wrestling time, focusing on acting and "giving back" to younger talent in 2023, recent reports suggest WWE is trying to bring him in for WrestleMania 40 in April. ## However, his involvement hinges on his filming schedule for "Peacemaker" season 2. If he can manage it, the plan is for a "fun, short, and memorable" non-wrestling appearance, emphasizing substance over physicality. This aligns with Cena's comments about his priorities and potentially wanting to avoid further injury. ## WrestleMania 40 already boasts several top matches, including Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre, and The Rock potentially facing off against Rhodes or teaming with Reigns against both.## Whether Cena appears or not, fans can look forward to a star-studded event with plenty of high-profile clashes. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
