Amid Kairi's absence, her Damage CTRL teammate, IYO SKY, is all set to compete against Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair in a Triple Threat Match for the Women's World Championship at this year's Show of Shows.

During a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine, Bill Apter highlighted how angry Belair was at Ripley during the contract signing. Apter added that he was surprised to see fans backing IYO SKY to retain the Women's World Championship, as he believed she was "very bland."

"I have never seen so much venom come out of her [Bianca Belair] like I did on that Monday Night RAW. She was incredibly angry, and again, we are talking about it was over the line of a work in my opinon, it really was. What amazed me, though, and again it's all over the internet, is that the fans really want IYO SKY to retain that championship. She is much more, she works great. She is very bland, and yet the fans just adore her."
