WrestleMania Showdown: IYO SKY’s Response to Bayley’s Title Challenge
The WWE Women’s Champion, IYO SKY, has broken her silence following Bayley’s surprising challenge for the title on this week’s SmackDown. Despite their shared history as founding members of the Damage CTRL faction, tensions between the two escalated with the addition of Asuka and Kairi Sane to the group.
Bayley, fresh from her Royal Rumble victory, confronted IYO SKY on the February 2 SmackDown, revealing her ability to understand Japanese conversations where Sky, Sane, and Asuka supposedly spoke ill of her. The confrontation turned physical, as Bayley fought off the trio with a metal pipe before officially declaring her intention to vie for SKY’s championship at WrestleMania.
In response, IYO SKY took to Twitter, making her feelings clear with a simple yet powerful statement: “FINE. I don’t need Bayley anymore!!!!!!” This tweet solidifies the rift between the former allies, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown at WrestleMania 40.
The clash between IYO SKY and Bayley not only marks a turning point in their once-unified alliance but also serves as a compelling narrative within the broader Damage CTRL faction. SKY’s main roster debut at SummerSlam 2022, aligning with Bayley and Dakota Kai, has evolved into a WrestleMania headline, promising fans an intense and dramatic encounter.
