Damage CTRL is the most forced faction I've seen in a long, long time. Two of them basically just show up out of nowhere, and I guess you needed to watch the developmental show to even know who they are, and the three of them are supposed to be really intimidating or something?

Only one of them even really talks, they don't have a look or anything special or different, but they've lead off like half the RAW episodes since becoming a faction and I just don't get it. It's like HHH and Steph just went "we've decided we're going to make you three main eventers with absolutely zero build up".

People keep talking about how quiet the RAW crowds have been even after HHH took over and I genuinely think part of it is the first 30 minutes of every show being dedicated to a group of people that casual fans don't know or care about (I understand Bayley is popular and doesn't necessarily fit in with that).
