Real Reason Behind IYO SKY’s WWE TV Absence Revealed

IYO SKY hasn’t been on WWE television lately, and fans have definitely noticed. Now we know why: she’s been enjoying a short getaway in Japan—and she just made it official on social media.

The former WWE Women’s Champion popped up on Instagram with a few snapshots of herself in Tokyo’s Harajuku district. Sporting a casual look and a relaxed vibe, SKY confirmed she’s in Japan for a quick visit.

“I’m enjoying my brief Tokyo life. Part 1 Cat street, Harajuku.”

This update finally gives clarity to her sudden absence. Her last WWE appearance came at Crown Jewel in Australia last month, where she teamed with Rhea Ripley in a tag team match against Asuka and Kairi Sane. That bout fueled rumors of tension brewing between the former Damage CTRL allies—but nothing more has developed on-screen.

Despite not being on RAW recently, SKY remains one of the top in-ring talents in WWE. Her fans are already speculating about her next move, especially with unresolved storylines involving Asuka and Kairi Sane still hanging in the air.

For now, it seems she’s recharging in her home country before making her next WWE move.
