Bayley: 'Iyo Is So Incredibly Talented And It's Hard To Not Cheer For Her'

Bayley defeated her former friend SKY to become the new WWE Women's Champion. The match was filled with high-flying maneuvers and brutal counters, showcasing the bad blood between the two. ## Despite a nagging knee injury, Bayley fought valiantly, enduring SKY's signature moves like the moonsault and German suplexes. In a dramatic moment, Bayley kicked out of SKY's Over the Moonsault, keeping her championship dreams alive. The Role Model finally grabbed on an opportunity, landing her devastating Rose Plant on a stunned SKY to secure the victory and reclaim the coveted title. ## Speaking to WrestleMania XL Sunday Post-Show Press Conference, Bayley stated the following: ## "I didn't know what it was gonna be like with the crowd, for one. I'm newly friends with the crowd again," Bayley admitted. "So, I was concerned that, you know, some of them didn't forgive me for calling them idiots for so many years. Sometimes you guys were idiots too. It's fine, it happens. I wasn't sure how it was going to be. Because Io is so incredibly talented, and it's hard not to cheer for her. ## "She's so amazing, but she's a really bad friend," Bayley continued. "So, I was very excited to hear that everyone still had my back after all these years. I truly think that my journey through the WWE these past 11 years has, like, cemented such a connection between myself and the fans, all of you guys. So coming out, I felt like, I think I did my job these last few years to show how much I care about this, and how much I care that you guys care about this, you know? So, I felt very, very grateful. And right now, I feel crazy. It feels like the weirdest dream, like I just fantasy booked my whole life. Doing this, then watching The Rock, The Undertaker, and John Cena, it was like fantasy booking this whole thing."## If you use the above quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Bayley Shares Her Previous Private Text Messages With IYO SKY Before WrestleMania Collision

Ahead of their WrestleMania 40 clash, Bayley has revealed a glimpse into her past communication with IYO SKY, formerly known as Io Shirai. ## The messages, shared on social media, date back to March 2022 and showcase Bayley reaching out to Shirai, then an NXT Superstar, with an idea (possibly represented by a knife emoji in the screenshot). Shirai's enthusiastic response suggests the beginnings of a potential collaboration.## While the full details of Bayley's initial concept remain veiled, Shirai would indeed appear alongside Bayley and Dakota Kai at SummerSlam 2022 under the new ring name IYO SKY. The trio would later form the dominant faction Damage CTRL, capturing a victory against Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka at Clash at the Castle in September 2022.## The dynamic of Damage CTRL would shift throughout 2023, with Asuka joining the group in November, reuniting with her former partner Kairi Sane. However, tensions arose within the group as Asuka and Sane attacked Bayley, the reigning Royal Rumble winner, on February 2nd, 2024, setting the stage for their WrestleMania showdown.## With Dakota Kai also turning on Bayley on the latest episode of SmackDown, WrestleMania 40 promises a complex and potentially emotional encounter between former allies Bayley and IYO SKY. ## Less than 2 weeks away.#WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/duqLPHv81M— Bayley (@itsBayleyWWE) March 27, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Alexa Bliss Responds To Fan On Rumored Shoot Fight With IYO SKY

Even though Alexa Bliss is currently MIA (missing in action) from WWE, her fans are still buzzing about her and eagerly await her comeback. ## The WWE Superstar disappeared from our screens after the Royal Rumble in January 2023. Back then, the expectation was that she'd return eventually, teaming up again with the mysterious Bray Wyatt and his creepy persona, Uncle Howdy. ## Those plans, however, fizzled out when Wyatt himself got pulled from TV due to heart problems in March, and Bliss found out she was pregnant. Tragically, Wyatt later passed away that year from a heart attack. ## Bliss and her husband, Ryan Cabrera, became parents to a baby girl, Hendrix Rouge Cabrera. Since then, the former WWE Women's Champion has been embracing motherhood while also getting back in shape for her in-ring return. ## Recently, Bliss responded to a fan who shared a clip of a particularly intense exchange of blows between her and IYO SKY during a match. ## not alexa and iyo almost throwing hands? 😭pic.twitter.com/EoZVrxhcm8— t ☆ (@thebujee) March 25, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Since her triumphant return at SummerSlam 2022 and subsequent alignment with Bayley and Dakota Kai, IYO SKY has experienced a meteoric rise in her WWE career. ## Prior to this resurgence, SKY had already established herself as a formidable competitor in NXT, even capturing Tag Team gold.

Iyo Sky Says She Is Ready For Taylor Swift If She Wants

Las Vegas, 8 October - At Fastlane, Iyo Sky engaged in one of the most pivotal contests of her WWE career. As the reigning WWE Women's Champion, Iyo defended her coveted title in a Triple Threat Match against formidable opponents, Charlotte Flair and Asuka. ## In a fiercely contested battle, the WWE Women's Championship remained firmly in the grasp of Damage CTRL, with Iyo Sky clinching the victory by pinning Charlotte Flair to successfully retain her championship. Nonetheless, the match was not devoid of controversy, as Bayley played a role in assisting Iyo's triumph. ## During the recent WWE Fastlane Press Conference, a rather unconventional question arose, inquiring about the possibility of Iyo headlining alongside Taylor Swift.

But there's someone making headlines outside of wrestling, Taylor Swift. That's right, I brought her name into the room. I knew this would happen. Could we see Taylor Swift in the WWE, possibly going for your championship gold?. Do you want to wrestle Taylor Swift, possibly at WrestleMania?." ## "Are you crazy?," Iyo Sky responded.
