IYO SKY had a career-defining moment delivered on the latest bygone episode of WWE Raw on Netflix as she clinched the women’s world championship. Just 46 days into the biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania 41, this win also made a major change to the card of the show waiting in April, and the new champion can’t wait to enter the scene with the title.
Showered with praises from all over the circuit, IYO SKY has already felt overwhelming since the big win. While the March 3 episode went off the air, she was seen celebrating in the ring, WWE later shared an exclusive backstage footage capturing her emotions as she walked up the entrance ramp.
“Thank you so much, I’m surprised. I made it. I’ve always been myself, and my dream is coming true because of you guys. Thank you so much,” stated IYO SKY looking back into the camera. Perhaps the biggest endorsement came from WWE Chief Content Officer, Triple H as he posted a heartfelt backstage clip on Twitter, showing him embracing the new champion with the caption stating, “Deserved, not given.”
