She was just Drayden's tagalong before being bumped up to champion status because lolwhynot.
She wasn't particularly noteworthy present wise or feat-wise; combine that with how fresh she is to the position, no one is giving her mad respect just yet.
She's also a literal child in a sea of seasoned adults. Yeah Red and Blue were also child prodigies but they were creating legends around themselves. Iris is just really skilled little girl, beat the dude past his prime, who barely gives a shit anymore and was constantly mogged in the games.
Like Iris, like the champion battle and theme, just saying.
