Over-The-Moonsault

Iyo Sky’s Moonsault is her most iconic move which she executes from the top turnbuckle. She leaps backward, performing a backflip mid-air, and lands chest-first on her opponent. It is an incredible display of her aerial prowess as per the SmackDown Hotel.

Tiger Feint Kick

According to Pro Wrestling Fandom, Tiger Feint Kick is one of the staple moves of Sky’s arsenal. The move is inspired by Lucha wrestling and most importantly Rey Mysterio. When her opponent is draped over the middle rope, she gains momentum by running across the ring and swinging her legs through the ropes to deliver a swift kick to her opponent’s face. This move is Sky’s version of the 619.

Springboard Dropkick

Here, Sky uses the ropes for leverage, springs off the middle rope, and delivers a dropkick to her opponent, targeting the head or chest. While this move is hardly used to finish the matches, it is enough to leave the opponent reeling and sets up the tone for her final attack.

Magica de Io

Magica de lo or Magica de lotica is a submission move that Sky sometimes uses as per the SmackDown Hotel. She starts by wrenching her opponent’s arm, setting them off balance, and then quickly transitions into an inside cradle. The move finishes with a bridging prawn hold, making it difficult for her opponent to escape.

Moonsault Double Foot Stomp

Instead of landing chest-first on her opponent, Iyo flips in the air and drives both of her feet down onto her opponent's torso. The move looks a bit like Finn Balor’s Coup De Grace. It is a devastating attack, as it combines the force of the Moonsault with a direct, stomping impact.

Iyo Sky Theme Song

Iyo Sky uses the "Tokyo Shock" by Def Rebel as her theme song as per the SmackDown Hotel. Besides that, she also uses "Still the Baddest" by Def Rebel feat. Yuka Niiyama as per the SmackDown Hotel. This is the theme song she uses as a member of Damage CTRL.
