Iyo Sky: WWE's Rising, Unstoppable Champion

Iyo Sky has rapidly ascended to the pinnacle of professional wrestling, establishing herself as a dominant force within WWE and a performer who embodies the company’s knack for creating captivating stars. WWE’s historical success hinges on identifying and cultivating charismatic athletes who resonate with audiences as larger-than-life figures, a tradition Sky seamlessly continues.

Sky’s arrival in NXT in 2018 was immediately impactful. She wasn’t simply a promising newcomer; she was an instant sensation, bringing a unique blend of striking fashion and a dynamic, acrobatic in-ring style reminiscent of Rey Mysterio. Her debut year yielded an impressive trifecta of championships – the NXT Women’s Championship, NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship, and the Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic – alongside accolades recognizing her as NXT’s Female and Overall Competitor of the Year. The latter is particularly noteworthy, signifying her dominance over all NXT talent, regardless of gender.

Her transition to the main WWE roster was anticipated, and she continued to impress. A pivotal moment arrived at SummerSlam 2022, an event already highlighted by Roman Reigns’ victory over Brock Lesnar. While the event featured a compelling rivalry between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch – Belair securing a hard-fought revenge victory – it was Sky’s bold introduction alongside Damage CTRL that truly captured attention. Standing toe-to-toe with Belair and Lynch immediately established her as a formidable presence and a legitimate threat.

Sky’s breakthrough continued at Money in the Bank 2023, where she won the competitive event, earning a contract for a championship match against Belair. This culminated at SummerSlam 2023 with a stunning victory over Belair in a Triple Threat Match, claiming the WWE Women’s Championship. She didn’t stop there, achieving the rare feat of winning the Women’s Triple Crown and further solidifying her dominance with a victory over Rhea Ripley on Raw in March 2025, capturing the Women’s World Title.

Sky’s impact is undeniable. She’s not merely winning championships; she’s redefining what it means to be a top-tier WWE performer. Her athleticism, charisma, and willingness to take risks have quickly made her a fan favorite. The question now isn’t if someone will dethrone her, but who possesses the talent and tenacity to do so. WWE has a history of building compelling narratives, and the search for the next challenger to Sky’s reign promises to be a captivating storyline. She’s a truly exceptional talent, and her continued success feels inevitable.
