IYO SKY Avoids Major Injury After Close Call with Neck Injury from Dramatic RAW Landing Post-WrestleMania
WWE superstar IYO SKY narrowly escaped a serious injury during Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania.
The Japanese athlete partnered with Rhea Ripley to take on her fellow countrywomen Asuka and Kairi Sane.
During an attempted dive to the outside aimed at taking down Asuka, SKY unfortunately landed headfirst in a shocking incident.
Luckily, SKY managed to bounce back, re-entered the ring, and executed a moonsault after Ripley took down Sane with a Riptide, clinching the victory.
Fans voiced their concerns for the safety of the 35-year-old following the match.
One supporter commented: “She needs to stop; the last thing I want to see is her getting a career-threatening injury.”

Another fan remarked: “We’re going to see her break her neck live with how she keeps performing that dive.”
A third shared: “I literally had to look away during that moment.”
SKY was absent from WrestleMania, leaving many fans puzzled given her outstanding performance from the previous year.
She had previously won the Women’s World Title in a triple-threat match at WrestleMania 41, a match now considered a classic, yet Triple H did not include her in this year’s roster.
Her tag team partner on RAW, Ripley, claimed the Women’s World Title this year by defeating Jade Cargill at Allegiant Stadium.
While SKY had a close call during RAW, many WWE stars have faced severe consequences, including Big E, who had to retire early due to a neck injury.
Paige, 33, made her return to the WWE ring at WrestleMania after an eight-year break, having originally retired early due to a broken neck.
