IYO SKY and Kairi Sane called out for bullying took center stage after Chelsea Green referenced a past incident from their wrestling days outside WWE. The controversy reignited when Green highlighted a clip featuring her interactions with SKY and Sane, stirring conversation within the wrestling community.
Damage CTRL Members Face Accusations from Chelsea Green
Current WWE Superstar Chelsea Green responded to an old video from her time in World Wonder Ring Stardom, directly addressing IYO SKY and Kairi Sane. Both superstars are now prominent figures in WWE as part of the Damage CTRL faction. This group is currently composed of three wrestlers: IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, and Asuka. Asuka, known as the Empress of Tomorrow, has been absent due to injury but is expected to return to RAW during the upcoming Queen of the Ring Tournament.
On the social platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Green reacted to a resurfaced clip in which IYO SKY and Kairi Sane appeared to be aiding Mayu Iwatani in delivering a powerful dropkick to her. The exchange in question has drawn attention online, reviving discussions about past rivalries and dynamics among wrestlers now working together in WWE.
Speculation Grows Around Kairi Sane Possibly Challenging IYO SKY
IYO SKY is the current WWE Women’s World Champion, successfully defending her title at WrestleMania 41. Kairi Sane has also gained momentum recently, earning victories on RAW against notable competitors such as Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Rumors have begun circulating about the possibility of Sane challenging SKY for the championship, especially with Asuka’s return to the scene.
However, some industry voices have expressed skepticism about this storyline direction. Speaking on a recent edition of Legion of RAW, wrestling personality Vince Russo weighed in on the situation, questioning WWE’s booking decisions regarding Sane’s recent string of wins:
“Because Zoey Stark got hurt, now you’re overcompensating by giving her [Kairi Sane] wins every week. And guys, honestly, are we really gonna go into Kairi Sane and IYO SKY? Like, is that where we’re really going to go with this, and who’s going to care? Give me the name of the person that’s going to care. So now we had to give two meaningless wins two weeks in a row because they had to beat her on her return.” —Vince Russo, Wrestling Personality
Recent Developments Surrounding the Queen of the Ring Tournament
Kairi Sane took part in the first round of the 2025 Queen of the Ring Tournament on RAW, teaming with Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. The group, however, was defeated by Roxanne Perez, signaling fierce competition ahead in the ongoing tournament. Although IYO SKY has not defended her title for some time, speculation persists that she might face the eventual tournament winner, which could add further complexity to the dynamic between the Damage CTRL members.
This situation underscores ongoing tensions and potential rivalries among top WWE female athletes, with fans and industry insiders closely watching the evolving storyline between IYO SKY and Kairi Sane. As WWE continues to highlight the Queen of the Ring Tournament and Asuka’s imminent return, focus remains on how these developments will shift the balance within the women’s division.
