  @Matt It's too early to say anything about the Damage CTRL situation. So far, nothing is clear.

  @The Hasn't officially turned yet. I presume on Smackdown Bayley will confront her and then they'll make the turn official.

Assuming first heel turn refers to her betrayal of Mayu Iwatani, that was November 11, 2016. Even then I'd think its fair to argue that she drifted back a bit toward being a tweener before leaving Stardom in 2018.
