The electrifying atmosphere of Survivor Series: WarGames is upon us, and one name is creating an undeniable buzz: Iyo Sky. Known as the ‘Genius of the Sky,’ this Japanese sensation is no stranger to the brutal WarGames structure, having previously showcased her high-flying, death-defying antics multiple times. As anticipation builds, fans are eager to see what new level of chaos Iyo Sky will bring to the steel cage this year, especially with her enigmatic new partner.

The Road to WarGames: Unpacking the Rivalry

The stage for this year’s WarGames match was dramatically set on the November 10 episode of WWE RAW. The Women’s Tag Team Championship saw an unexpected turn as Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss lost their titles to the formidable duo of Asuka and Kairi Sane, collectively known as The Kabuki Warriors. The post-match celebration, however, quickly devolved into a brutal ambush, with The Kabuki Warriors joined by Lash Legend and Nia Jax in a vicious assault on Flair and Bliss.

It was in this moment of turmoil that Iyo Sky, alongside Rhea Ripley, emerged to even the odds, sparking a rivalry that has since escalated. Over the subsequent weeks, the teams solidified, with AJ Lee bolstering the babyfaces and Becky Lynch joining the heels, ensuring a star-studded lineup ready for combat within the dual rings of WarGames. The team dynamics promise an unforgettable spectacle, but it’s Iyo Sky’s unique contribution that has truly captured attention.

Iyo Sky’s Secret Weapon: Introducing ‘Mr. Trashcan’

In a move that only the ‘Genius of the Sky’ could conceive, Iyo Sky recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal her planned sixth member for the WarGames match. Instead of a fellow competitor, she introduced the world to… ‘Mr. Trashcan’!

This isn’t merely a playful jest; Iyo Sky has a storied history of masterfully incorporating a trash can into her most memorable, high-impact maneuvers. Fans recall her daring moonsaults from the top of the WarGames cage, often using a strategically placed trash can to amplify the impact on her opponents. This ingenious use of a seemingly mundane object has become a signature of her WarGames performances, a testament to her creativity and willingness to push boundaries.

A Legacy of Innovation in the Steel Cage

Indeed, the 35-year-old Japanese star has successfully executed this audacious stunt in previous WarGames matches, including the 2023 and 2024 editions. The question now looms large: will Iyo Sky achieve a hat-trick, once again launching herself from the perilous heights of the cage with ‘Mr. Trashcan’ as her accomplice? Her ability to turn an ordinary prop into a weapon of mass destruction is a spectacle unique to the ‘Genius of the Sky’ and a highlight fans eagerly await at Survivor Series.

October proved to be a monumental month for WWE and its global stars. Following the Crown Jewel event, WWE embarked on a two-night tour of Japan. During this time, Iyo Sky extended her stay, seizing a significant opportunity to compete in the Marigold Grand Destiny 2025 event. This saw her main-eventing against the legendary Mayu Iwatani, a match that not only showcased her unparalleled skill but also deeply resonated with her.

After securing a hard-fought victory, the former WWE Women’s World Champion shared an emotional message on X, expressing profound gratitude for the experience. Her words highlighted a blend of nostalgia, pain, and ultimate satisfaction, underscoring her enduring passion for professional wrestling and her roots in Japan. This return to her origins further solidified her status as a global icon, proving that whether in a WWE ring or a Japanese arena, Iyo Sky consistently delivers performances that leave an indelible mark.
