As seen during the WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view, IYO SKY retained the WWE Women’s Championship in her match against Bianca Belair. Bayley was there to try to help things but her actions only helped to further the narrative that there is trouble within Damage CTRL.
SKY retained her title thanks to help from Kairi Sane, who made her first WWE TV appearance since her departure from the company in 2020. As reported by WrestleVotes, Sane was added to the internal company roster earlier this week and there were rumblings that she would be back for Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
Sane is said to be bringing in some more friends. Reddit insider kermit125, who has been known to be incredibly accurate with backstage WWE news, noted today that Sane and SKY will be joined by “another friend” and “another that no one will see coming not even their closest ally.” Kermit did not elaborate on who these friends might be but it seems pretty clear that WWE is setting the stage for SKY and Sane to feud with Bayley and probably Dakota Kai in the coming months.
Michael Cole pointed out that it was Bayley who attacked Sane and drove her out of WWE back in the summer of 2020 and it’s clear that Bayley had no clue that SKY would be showing up at the PLE today.
