The Raw episode on September 22nd saw a gripping drama unfold with a major betrayal that intensified tensions in WWE. Iyo Sky Betrayal Raw became the focal point after Asuka and Kairi Sane turned on their former ally, Iyo Sky, cementing their heel turns in a savage ambush. This unexpected attack drew a caustic response online from Bayley, who openly mocked Sky following the shocking betrayal.
Betrayal Turns Allies into Enemies During Raw Main Event
The night’s main event featured Rhea Ripley securing a victory over Asuka with a roll-up pinfall. However, victory celebration quickly turned sour as Asuka and Kairi Sane turned heel. The duo assaulted Ripley, spraying her with poisonous mist before targeting Iyo Sky. Once considered part of their “family,” Sky was viciously attacked with Asuka’s finishing move, the Insane Elbow, confirming her former allies’ definitive switch to villainy.
This dramatic shift stunned viewers, highlighting fractured loyalties within the faction. Bayley, formerly the leader of Damage CTRL—an alliance that included Sky, Sane, and Asuka—reacted to the betrayal with derision, recalling her own experiences of being abandoned by the group after her Royal Rumble 2024 victory.
Bayley’s Scornful Response on Social Media Highlights Fallout
Bayley took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Iyo Sky’s predicament, posting a sarcastic message that referred to her lost “family.” Her full tweet read:
“LOL IYO I REMEMBER I HAD FAMILY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”
This biting comment referenced the moment when Sky and her Damage CTRL allies had turned their backs on Bayley, despite her earlier emotional address to the group as her family.
Following Raw’s conclusion, Bayley also took a dig at Rhea Ripley, further stirring the uneasy atmosphere among the wrestlers involved. The emotional turmoil within this circle remains palpable, with old bonds severed and former friendships turned hostile.
Mark Henry’s Encouragement During Bayley’s Struggles Earlier This Year
Earlier in the year, Bayley faced significant challenges following her unsuccessful bid for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Her mental state appeared to deteriorate, portrayed in segments showing a fractured personality and emotional vulnerability. This prompted veteran wrestler Mark Henry to publicly offer his support and motivation.
Mark Henry expressed empathy and encouragement with the words:
“Every wrestler that ever got over at one point in their career, feels this way or felt this way. You are entitled to your feelings. But everybody that reads this needs to tell you, Mark Henry said he looks up to you!.”
This moment highlighted Bayley’s struggles behind the scenes, adding depth to the complex emotions in play during the recent betrayal and subsequent social media backlash.
Ongoing Tensions Suggest Uncertain Future for Key WWE Alliances
The brutal break in loyalties involving Iyo Sky, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Bayley signifies a larger pattern of instability within WWE’s women’s division. As these fractured relationships play out on Raw and alongside Twitter exchanges, fans can expect continued turmoil and shifting alliances. The betrayal adds new layers of conflict that could influence upcoming storylines and character arcs profoundly.
With The Judgment Day faction reportedly on the brink of dissolution as well, WWE is clearly entering a period of significant reshuffling among its top female talent. The Iyo Sky Betrayal Raw incident and Bayley’s pointed reaction both emphasize how fragile these alliances have become, setting the stage for intense confrontations in the weeks to come.

I REMEMBER I HAD FAMILY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
