Real talk guys. I love Io, I'm happy she's getting a run on the main roster because it would've been a travesty if she didn't, but this run has been more or less what I expected. She's a tag team wrestler in a faction and it's probably her ceiling. Same for Dakota Kai.
I just can't imagine a world where Io is a contender for a singles title on the WWE main roster. Not at her age, not on this roster with Bianca as the champ and popular names like Becky, Rhea, Alexa or Asuka on the same show. At best, I can see her challenging for the title in an Elimination Chamber match, doing cool stuff inside the chamber, or being a filler defense for the champion. Vince or not, they won't let run the division if she can't open the show with a promo in english. It was different for Asuka because the division was weaker and she came up alone with an aura and her undefeated streak. Io is just another woman on the roster and I'm afraid she's gonna be the Sarray of the main roster.
