On August 25th during Monday Night RAW, Iyo Sky experienced a deeply emotional moment as she was forced to make a painful decision. The former Women’s World Champion found herself pleading for trust following a tense confrontation that left her visibly distressed. This RAW heartbreaking decision highlights the difficult path Iyo is navigating amid shifting alliances.
Conflict Escalates Between Iyo Sky and the Kabuki Warriors
For viewers not fully caught up, Iyo Sky has been in a complicated position lately within RAW’s landscape. The Kabuki Warriors, particularly Asuka, were upset when Iyo asked them not to intervene in her conflicts. Asuka viewed this as hypocritical, especially given that Rhea Ripley had stepped into Iyo’s struggles earlier, and Iyo had reciprocated by involving herself in Ripley’s affairs. This disagreement intensified tensions among the group.
Verbal Clash Follows Iyo’s Aid to Rhea Ripley
During RAW, Iyo came to Rhea Ripley’s defense after a harsh attack by Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. This act prompted Asuka to confront Iyo, resulting in a heated exchange marked by strong emotions. Asuka left angrily, while Iyo was left desperately asking Kairi Sane for trust and support. This sequence further exposed the fragile state of their relationships.
Misunderstandings Deepen Rift Among Former Allies
The background of this conflict traces to an earlier segment where Iyo and Rhea parted ways amicably with a hug. However, Asuka and Kairi only observed the moment from a distance, with Asuka apparently misreading Rhea’s intentions as genuine friendship. The situation worsened when Iyo again assisted Rhea, who later insisted she owed Iyo nothing. This rejection left Iyo torn between the bonds she shared with Ripley and her long-standing ties to Asuka and Kairi.
Complex History Adds Weight to Current Tensions
Ikiyo Sky’s history with Kairi Sane goes back to their days together in the Japanese promotion STARDOM, where they were top performers and considered the faces of the organization. Their shared past with Asuka and previous collaboration in Damage CTRL add layers of significance to the unfolding disputes. This background makes Iyo’s current RAW heartbreaking decision all the more poignant, as it pits friendship against loyalty and professional alliances.
