WWE Superstar IYO SKY is reeling after a crushing betrayal during the latest WWE RAW episode, where she not only missed out on the Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza but also suffered a painful double-cross by close friends. The unexpected attack by Asuka and Kairi Sane, members of the Kabuki Warriors, has left SKY devastated and questioning her alliances within WWE.
At the end of last night’s RAW, IYO SKY attempted to defend Rhea Ripley from an assault led by Asuka and Kairi Sane, who had turned heel after Ripley’s main event victory over The Empress of Tomorrow. Instead of earning peace, SKY found herself under attack from the very people she considered friends. The former RAW Women’s Champion’s betrayal left SKY visibly distraught backstage, prompting her to share an emotional message on her official X/Twitter account.
In her statement, SKY expressed disbelief and heartbreak over the actions of Asuka and Kairi Sane, revealing that their betrayal hurt more deeply than any loss in the ring. Speaking in Japanese, she conveyed her feelings of abandonment and exhaustion following the incident.
“We were friends; I thought we were friends. I believed we were friends. Asuka and Kairi don’t want me. (I am) Devastated. No, but I wasn’t helpful for them. I realized that today. This hurts more than losing a match. I just don’t know. Just… I’m done,” she said. – IYO SKY
With SKY’s words hinting at a possible hiatus, her return to WWE RAW remains uncertain as she deals with the emotional fallout. The intense moment highlights a shift in alliances that could reshape upcoming WWE narratives and rivalries.
Anticipated Developments for IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley Post-Betrayal
Following the shocking heel turn by Asuka and Kairi Sane, speculation mounts over the future dynamics between IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. The two have forged a strong bond over recent months, gaining fan support through their in-ring chemistry and camaraderie. This relationship appears poised to evolve into a full tag team partnership once SKY recovers from this betrayal.
The duo’s potential team-up could culminate in a high-profile showdown at the Crown Jewel event held in Ripley’s home country, Australia. Fans are watching closely to see whether their alliance will challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, especially with the Kabuki Warriors possibly capturing the titles from Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss in the near future.
This betrayal-heavy storyline is rapidly gaining momentum, promising to deliver gripping drama and significant shifts in WWE’s women’s division over the coming weeks.
