[WATCH] IYO SKY pays respect to highly touted 31-year-old star at Royal Rumble; future matchup possibly teased

IYO SKY was one of the favorites to win the Women's Royal Rumble but ended up being eliminated towards the end after a very impressive performance. She paid respect to a highly touted female WWE star after the match, teasing a future bout.

It was Charlotte Flair who eventually walked out as the winner of the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble, becoming the first-ever two-time winner. Entering at #1, SKY was looking to be the first woman to win the Rumble from that spot. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. What was cool was the fact that SKY was seen having a moment with 31-year-old star Stephanie Vaquer from NXT.

Vaquer, who is Chilean, is a highly touted woman in WWE. She is looking to become the next NXT North American Women's Champion. What lies ahead for IYO SKY will be interesting to see, as Dakota Kai is injured, as are Asuka and Kairi Sane.

IYO SKY is on her own now, and fans want to see her go for the gold that Rhea Ripley currently holds. Considering how Charlotte Flair is rumored to be going up against Tiffany Stratton, The Genius of the Sky could still compete against Ripley at WrestleMania.

The Road to WrestleMania is going to be an interesting one.
