Natalya: IYO SKY Makes Everybody Level Up

Stephanie Vaquer captured the WWE Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza, defeating IYO SKY for the vacant title.

Speaking to the Toronto Sun, Natalya gave her thoughts on the bout.

“IYO SKY makes everybody level up. I will come right out and say that IYO’s work is outstanding as far as being super consistent. The fact that Stephanie beat IYO, their energy matches. I think, personally, the girls stole the show. I’m biased, but I thought they both did amazing and I’m so happy for Stephanie,” she said.

Natalya praised Stephanie’s promo on Raw as well.

Circling back to the match, Natalya said, “You could feel their passion, and that’s what I love. They didn’t have a really deep story because Stephanie was going through a sickness and wasn’t feeling good. They couldn’t build this deep story on TV because she wasn’t there. They told a story that night in the ring. They did what they had to do to make it compelling. It was great. It’s not just like, ‘That was a great girls’ match.’ No, that was an outstanding match. I’m excited to see Stephanie dive into some more matches like that with maybe a deeper story. IYO SKY is unbelievable and everything IYO does, she levels up and brings people up to her level. I think Stephanie is going to be the same way with whoever she works. Her performances so far have been very consistent. Overall, it’s going to level up the Raw women’s division.”
