Hints of a Rhea Ripley vs IYO SKY match had circulated for months, teasing their long-awaited collision. Ripley, frustrated by her inability to pin SKY, was primed for a heated singles encounter. But those plans have changed, with WWE now moving toward Ripley and SKY potentially joining forces on RAW against the Kabuki Warriors.
Asuka’s looming heel turn appears to have altered creative direction, leaving the anticipated singles clash shelved for Paris. WWE’s reshuffling indicates the feud may still happen, just not at this premium live event.
