The WWE faction Damage CTRL has seemingly turned babyface recently, which came as a surprise for many. A former name in the company, EC3, jokingly claimed that this could be due to how the members of the group are in real life.

Damage CTRL has always been portrayed as a heel faction, with Bayley at its helm. Over the years, much has changed in the WWE group. However, the change to being babyfaces has been a bit abrupt, to say the least, leading to questions from fans and veterans alike.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, EC3 stated that he had met the Damage CTRL members multiple times and they were very friendly in real life.

"To be fair, from every encounter I have had with them, they are nothing but the sweetest gals. They are kind, they are friendly, they light up the day. They are very wide-eyed and bushy-tailed and just fun to be around." [2:38 onwards]

Konnan also questioned the sudden decision by the WWE creative department

Damage CTRL turning face has rattled a lot of veterans, including Konnan. Many are wondering what the reason behind the switch could be.

Apart from the trio of IYO SKY, Dakota Kai, and Kaira Sane beating Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville, and Zoey Stark, there has been hardly any setup and thought behind the abrupt change. Konnan recently expressed his bewilderment on his podcast, Keepin' it 100, asking exactly when the faction turned.

"I would like to know when Damage CTRL turned face. I mean, they explained everything else so well, but not this," Konnan said. (From 11:13 to 11:19)
