At WrestleMania 41, IYO SKY defeated Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair to retain the WWE Women’s World Championship.

After this classic battle, IYO and Rhea would battle once more for the title at WWE Evolution 2025, but this match was interrupted by Naomi cashing in the Money In The Bank contract to win the Women’s World Title.

Since this loss, SKY and Ripley have aligned and formed a partnership that has seen them having to deal with IYO’s former friends and Damage CTRL stablemates The Kabuki Warriors.
