In the aftermath of a grueling and physically demanding main event at Evolution 2, IYO SKY has broken her silence regarding the loss of her WWE Women’s World Championship. The former champion’s reign came to a stunning conclusion on July 13 after Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract, turning the highly anticipated singles match into a chaotic triple threat.
The contest between SKY and challenger Rhea Ripley was a brutal affair, highlighted by intense brawling and high-risk maneuvers that pushed both competitors to their limits. A standout moment saw SKY deliver a breathtaking 20-foot dive from the stands onto Ripley, a move that left both women battered.
As the match reached its climax, with both athletes exhausted and a referee temporarily incapacitated, Naomi seized the opportunity. She sprinted to the ring and officially inserted herself into the contest, using her briefcase as a weapon to neutralize both SKY and Ripley before pinning SKY to secure the championship.
Still processing the sudden turn of events, SKY took to social media to share her reaction to the loss.
“UNBELIEVABLE. UNFORGETTABLE. And….UNEXPECTED. #WWEEvolution”
The post was met with a wave of support from fans, who praised the quality of her championship reign and her performance in the main event. Backstage, Ripley also acknowledged the significance of the moment, commending SKY for their shared accomplishment in headlining the second-ever all-women’s WWE premium live event.
Naomi’s victory dramatically alters the landscape of the women’s division. With SummerSlam on the horizon, SKY is widely expected to pursue a rematch, though analysts suggest creative plans could also place her in a different high-profile storyline. The “absolute mayhem” of the finish ensures that both SKY and Ripley have legitimate claims to challenge the new champion, setting the stage for new rivalries as the division moves forward.
