Charlotte Flair Is Most Looking Forward To IYO SKY Vs Asuka At WWE Backlash 2026: I Think They’re Gonna Do A Hell Of A Job

Charlotte Flair says she is most looking forward to the singles match between IYO SKY and Asuka at WWE Backlash 2026.

The feud between IYO SKY and Asuka has been going for almost 3 quarters of a year, initially also featuring Kairi Sane before her WWE exit last month. Now, a fellow WWE superstar has discussed their upcoming bout at this weekend’s WWE Backlash event, noting it is the bout she is most looking forward to at the event.

While speaking on SportsCenter in a new interview, Charlotte Flair noted that SKY vs Asuka is the bout she is looking forward to the most at the event.

“This isn’t because I’m biased about the women, but definitely IYO SKY versus Asuka. I have a lot of history with Asuka. I ended her undefeated streak. I’ve had the opportunity to face IYO multiple times. They’re both international superstars, I think. Given the time and the story that they have, they could potentially steal the show, and I have no doubt that they will, and that’s just not me saying it as a woman just praising a female match, they’re that talented, and they have a special style, you can see with their entrances, and also the story, if people go back, IYO And Asuka were in Damage CTRL for the last two years led by Bayley. I think they’re gonna do a hell of a job.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Charlotte spoke about Fatal Influence. You can read more about that here.
