>[WWE] Teppei Arita is looking forward to fighting "Io Shirai" instead of "Iyo Sky" "Personally, it makes me emotional"
>WWE's festival "WrestleMania 41" will be held for two days on April 19th and 20th (April 20th and 21st Japan time) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. In preparation for the festival that will excite wrestling fans from all over the world, comedian Teppei Arita (54) of the comedy duo Cream Stew, who is a huge wrestling fan, spoke enthusiastically about the highlights of the event in a roundtable interview.
>The Japanese superstar who will be attracting the most attention at this year's festival is Iyo Sky, also known as "Genius of the Sky." She played the "main role" as the WWE Women's Champion at last year's "WrestleMania 40," but this year she suffered consecutive losses in matches for the right to challenge for the title at the festival. However, on the 3rd of the Raw, she dramatically took the Women's World Championship from Rhea Ripley. It was decided that she would be challenged by Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair at the festival, but Rhea exercised her right to a rematch. If Iyo defends her title in a rematch with Rhea on the 31st (April 1st, Japan time) on Raw, she will face Bianca at the festival as the world champion.
>However, there is no doubt that she has the world-class ability to be the main eventer of the festival. Ariyoshi also highly praises Iyo, saying, "I've been watching her since she was active in Shinkiba (1st RING) as Shirai Io (Iyo's former ring name). I always thought, 'What kind of physical ability is this?' I thought of her as a female version of the original Tiger Mask (Sayama Satoru) when I was in Japan."
