On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Iyo Sky went one-on-one with Raquel Rodriguez, a match she managed to win. However, the ending didn’t turn out in her favor.
After defeating Raquel, The Judgment Day launched an attack on Iyo Sky, until “Mami” Rhea Ripley arrived and took down her Judgment Day stablemates.
Earlier in the night, Iyo was seen backstage asking the Kabuki Warriors not to interfere in her match. Asuka even came to apologize for what had happened during the previous week’s match.
Over the past few weeks, the connection between the Kabuki Warriors has seemed strained, and with Rhea Ripley now in the mix, it may only be a matter of time before Iyo is forced to choose between Rhea and her fellow Warriors.
On August 18, the episode of Raw, the tension escalated further. Iyo and Rhea were shown backstage together when the Kabuki Warriors approached. Asuka, visibly upset, questioned why Iyo told them not to interfere in her matches, yet allowed Rhea to step in.
Ria can help you, but we can’t.
Rhea Ripley worries about IYO SKY's physical condition… and Asuka gets angry because Rhea can help him, but the Kabuki Warriors can't.

AND IYO EXPLODES.#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/EynTCX7hSP
There is a strong possibility that Iyo Sky might betray the Kabuki Warriors and align herself with Rhea Ripley. On the other hand, Asuka and Kairi Sane could turn on Iyo, which could potentially set up a tag team match: Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs. The Kabuki Warriors.
Meanwhile, with Naomi vacating her title, the WWE Women’s Championship currently does not have a holder. WWE has yet to confirm official plans for the title, but fan theories are running wild.
Iyo Sky has already been promised a championship opportunity, as has Stephanie Vaquer. At the same time, Rhea Ripley also appears to have her eyes on the title.

Some fans believe that, with the ongoing tension between the Kabuki Warriors, it would be fitting to see a high-stakes Fatal 5-Way match for the vacant WWE Women’s Championship: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka vs. Kairi Sane.
On the other hand, some fans believe that Bayley might return with her “Hugger” persona and pursue the WWE Women’s Championship, adding another rival to the title that Naomi left vacant in the WWE ring.
