Ludwig Kaiser has caused a stir by naming Iyo Sky, rather than his partner Tiffany Stratton, as his preferred female wrestler in <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE. The Imperium star, who has been romantically linked with Stratton since May 2022, revealed his choice during an interaction with a fan on Instagram. His preference for Iyo Sky emphasizes her growing reputation in WWE’s women’s division.
Kaiser, 35, is currently performing under his alter ego, El Grande Americano, on WWE RAW and also appears in the Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide promotion. Known for his ability to adapt and entertain in various roles, he has won praise for his character work. Meanwhile, Stratton, 26, who debuted on the main roster in February 2024, rapidly climbed the ranks to become the WWE Women’s Champion, garnering significant fan support, particularly from Australian audiences ahead of the 2024 Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event (PLE).
Iyo Sky’s Rising Influence and WWE Credentials
Iyo Sky’s recognition by Kaiser reflects her high standing within WWE, especially on the RAW brand. She is a two-time women’s world champion and notably defended her title in a triple-threat match against Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 41. Sky’s consistent performances have impressed both fans and peers, marking her as a dominant force in the women’s roster.
Although Stratton and Sky have yet to clash in the ring, a potential showdown would interest Kaiser, who watches closely as both women excel. However, as they currently perform on separate WWE brands, the possibility of such a match is low in the near term due to no current plans for a WWE draft.
Ludwig Kaiser Praises Tiffany Stratton’s Independence and Success
Kaiser’s decision to name Sky instead of Stratton as his favorite may be driven by his respect for her individual achievements and desire for her to succeed independently. In a conversation on the WrestleBinge podcast, he praised Stratton’s capabilities without needing his backing:
“I think that Tiffany doesn’t really need to jump on that opportunity or that storyline that I’m doing right now because she is so amazing by herself. She is going to go her own way, so she [does] not by any means need any kind of support or push from my side. She is a one-of-a-kind athlete and a one-of-a-kind person, and she’s been doing so amazing.” —Ludwig Kaiser, WWE Wrestler
Stratton‘s journey has been marked by rapid progression from WWE NXT to the main roster, making her a standout singles star. She has also forged strong relationships, including a close friendship with fellow star Nia Jax. Kaiser‘s acknowledgment underscores her established position, suggesting she does not require external assistance to thrive.
Kaiser’s Ambitions and WWE Career Outlook
While Stratton enjoys championship success, Kaiser continues striving for his breakthrough in singles competition. Though El Grande Americano remains a fan favorite, Kaiser has yet to capture a singles title in WWE. His growing versatility and character work hint at future opportunities, with fans eager to see him achieve title glory and possibly inspire new storylines within WWE’s competitive landscape.
