Mini bio
Starting with her sister.
Before WWE fans knew her as IYO SKY, she wrestled as Io Shirai. She debuted in March 2007 alongside her older sister Mio, then worked across Japan and Mexico. Stardom became the setting for her singles breakthrough, including two reigns as World of Stardom Champion.
Taking her style worldwide.
WWE announced her signing in Tokyo in 2018. She brought a blend of aerial moves, strikes and technical wrestling to NXT, winning its Women’s Championship at TakeOver: In Your House in June 2020 by defeating Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley.
From Damage CTRL to world titles.
At SummerSlam 2022, she joined Bayley and Dakota Kai as Damage CTRL. A year later, she cashed in Money in the Bank on Bianca Belair at SummerSlam to win the WWE Women’s Championship. In 2025 she captured the Women’s World Championship from Rhea Ripley and retained it against Ripley and Belair at WrestleMania 41.
New partnerships and a crown.
In January 2026 she and Ripley became WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. That June, SKY beat Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring final, earning another world title opportunity at SummerSlam.
