WWE was walking into WrestleMania 41 with Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair in mind, but the popularity of SKY forced WWE to pivot plans. She won the Women’s World Championship before the Grandest Stage of Them All, and she hasn’t looked back since then, delivering high-quality matches every time she’s defended the gold.
Even though SKY dropped the title at Evolution, she left a mark on the business by providing one of the best women’s title runs of all time. Her match at WrestleMania 41 was the first time Dave Meltzer ever handed out a five-star rating to a women’s match in WWE, providing insight into how impressive she has been.
The title run has been all about her, and that has helped fans finally buy into SKY as the number one women’s wrestler in the company, rather than just a talented worker. She’s had to prove herself over time, but the manner in which she’s worked up the card has been entertaining to watch, and it’s clear that SKY is now operating on full confidence, which makes all the difference.
IYO SKY Is The Best Wrestler In The World Right Now
- SKY always gives her top effort in matches, whether it is on Raw or a PLE.
- The WWE fans deliver a huge pop for every IYO SKY entrance now.
- SKY has elevated herself to a new level that’s getting over.
SKY isn’t just the standard-bearer in WWE, though; it could easily be argued that she’s the best wrestler in the world right now, regardless of promotion or gender. There are few people who come close to what she’s doing inside the ring on a weekly basis, and it doesn’t matter if it’s Raw, a PLE, or even a live event; the quality is high, and fans care.
The WWE Universe pops huge every time she appears, and that’s not an easy feat to achieve, but the fact that she’s delivering such perfection on a regular basis has led to her easily being WWE’s most valuable talent, as she’s developed so impressively and elevated herself to a level that few fans thought she’d ever get to.
