If Triple H had to rebuild the WWE roster from scratch, he'd keep this one superstar!
In the world of WWE, where larger-than-life personalities reign supreme, one wrestler has caught the eye of the legendary Triple H, WWE's Chief Content Officer. Sean Rueter, a seasoned wrestling enthusiast and blogger, delves into the rise of a true talent: IYO SKY.
SKY, a Japanese sensation, has been a standout performer since her WWE debut. However, it was last year that she truly soared. Becoming a Grand Slam champion in March was just the beginning. In a stunning upset, she defeated Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 41, securing the Women's World title and solidifying her status as a main-event player. Her tag team with Ripley, RhIYO, has since become a fan favorite across all WWE brands.
In the latest season of WWE's docu-series on Netflix, Triple H couldn't be more effusive in his praise for SKY. He highlights her innate charisma and unique presence, claiming that her signature head point emote/taunt, which has become a fan favorite, was always destined to be a massive hit. But here's where it gets intriguing: Triple H goes as far as to say that if he had to rebuild the WWE roster, he'd start with SKY.
This endorsement is not just about her in-ring abilities, which are undoubtedly impressive. It's also about her character. Triple H describes SKY as an incredibly humble and eager-to-please individual, a 'rockstar' who is a joy to work with. Her willingness to take direction and her genuine delight when praised make her a dream employee.
And let's not forget her signature move, which is not only one of the best in the business but is executed with a psychological depth that few can match. It's no wonder WWE is building its future around her.
RhIYO's upcoming title defense against Judgment Day's Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on Saturday Night's Main Event is a testament to their popularity and the company's faith in SKY's star power.
But is Triple H's assessment too generous? Some might argue that while SKY is undoubtedly talented, there are other wrestlers who could be equally, if not more, deserving of such high praise. What do you think? Is SKY the one-star wonder WWE should rebuild around, or is there another superstar you'd choose? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
