>>10484318> from sports illustratedAsuka is in a different situation. As she approaches her second decade in wrestling, she has established herself in WWE as one of the company’s more reliable, talented, charismatic stars. She is expected to use her veteran presence to highlight a younger star as the next women’s champion.
Right now, all signs point to that champion as Iyo Sky, who—pound-for-pound—makes a convincing claim for best wrestler in the world. Sky’s work has thoroughly impressed Levesque for years, and the reaction she drew from the crowd at Backlash in Puerto Rico only added fuel to the fire for those advocating for her first run as a singles champion on the main roster. Turning Sky face and having her feud with Bayley has been discussed. Bayley’s work championing the roster around her—especially when she could have instead pushed for herself to have a title reign—should not go unnoticed.
