IYO SKY defeats Utami Hayashishita at Marigold Summer Destiny; wins her return match in Japan

IYO SKY defeated Utami Hayashishita upon her return to Japan. During the closing moments of the match, SKY hit Hayashishita with a piledriver and followed it up with the moonsault.

Before signing with WWE, The Genius of the Sky was a part of World Wonder Ring Stardom. She competed in the promotion from 2011-2018 before signing with the Stamford-based company.

SKY and Hayashishita went back and forth during their match. Eventually, the former WWE Women's Champion secured the pinfall victory.

You can watch the ending sequence between SKY and Hayashishita below:

Earlier this year, SKY walked into WrestleMania XL as the WWE Women's Champion. Unfortunately, she lost the title to former Damage CTRL stablemate, Bayley.

She also entered the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament and the 2024 Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. It remains to be seen what plans WWE has in store for the Damage CTRL member moving forward.

In recent weeks, IYO SKY has hinted at making changes within Damage CTRL. The heel faction currently consists of SKY herself, Dakota Kai, Kairi Sane, and Asuka, who has been sidelined with an injury.

On Monday Night RAW, the faction was also attacked by Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler, and Sonya Deville. WWE could be planning a long-term feud between both groups.
