Sky Bayley Takes on the Wrestlemania 40 Challenge in WWE-Style

Clash of Former Allies: IYO SKY Responds to Bayley’s Challenge

The WWE Women’s Champion, IYO SKY, has addressed the recent development on this week’s SmackDown, where Bayley threw down the gauntlet for a title match. Despite their shared history as founding members of the Damage CTRL faction, tensions between IYO SKY and Bayley have escalated, particularly after the inclusion of Asuka and Kairi Sane in the group.

Bayley, fresh from her Royal Rumble victory, confronted IYO SKY on the February 2 SmackDown, revealing that she was aware of conversations in Japanese where Sky, Sane, and Asuka were allegedly speaking ill of her. The confrontation led to a physical altercation, with Bayley fending off the trio with a metal pipe before officially declaring her intention to challenge SKY for the title at WrestleMania.

In response to the unfolding drama, IYO SKY took to Twitter to express her sentiments, stating, “FINE. I don’t need Bayley anymore!!!!!!!” The tweet solidifies the rift between the former allies and sets the stage for a high-stakes showdown at WrestleMania 40.

The upcoming clash between IYO SKY and Bayley marks a significant turning point in their relationship, as the once-united Damage CTRL now finds itself divided. SKY’s journey to the main roster at SummerSlam 2022, aligning with Bayley and Dakota Kai, has taken an unexpected twist, setting the stage for a headline-worthy match at WrestleMania.
