When IYO SKY came out to make the save for Rhea Ripley a month or so ago against the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), fans were immediately drawn to the former rivals teaming up. So much so, it didn’t take long for them to get their “celebrity couple name.” The two were coined RHIYO and the pairing proved to be immensely popular leading up to War Games. Well, fear not fans, as it looks like War Games was just the beginning for Ripley and Sky’s budding partnership. The two opened up “Monday Night RHIYO” and made their intentions clear.
Ripley noted she wanted revenge on the Kabuki Warriors for how they treated her best friend and that started with taking their titles. Before a match could be made however, WWE’s other resident BFFs made their way out as Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair indicated they never got their rematch and SKY and Ripley would have to wait on their revenge until Bliss and Flair got their shot. The four bickered back and forth a bit before Flair threw out the ‘prove it’ challenge to Ripley. SKY accepted and a tag team match was made official for later in the night.
This match could be a #1 contendership but it’s unclear. Led by the Kabuki Warriors, the women’s tag title picture is stacking up as later in the night, Bayley made it clear and her and Lyra Valkyria want their shot too.
