Here's hoping they let her go wild and just start putting on banger after banger after banger. I know that's Sheamus and Drew's thing but I think it fits here too. Seriously hope they just let her run wild and prove what she can do.

I just wish she had left the group before she cashed in. Don’t like the idea of her being champion while still being under Bayley’s boot.

Once agian are we supposed to celebrate a heel winning the title? I love Iyo but i just find it odd how heels have been winning titles recently and they are getting cheered and congratuled for it? I hope she gets a nice reign as she really is one of the best in the world.

Legitimately one of my favorite moments of the year. Hopefully she gets booked well as champ.

It also helps that by all accounts, Iyo is one of the nicest women in the locker room and universally respected.

I think Iyo is one of the best wrestlers on Earth and am happy she's finally champ, but I'm still really tired of the MITB cash-in as a booking crutch to give champs moments like this after beatdowns or injuries or long matches or whatever. It's just so cheap and lazy. Did it include the classic "have the briefcase holding mostly lose leading into the cash-in" booking? Io/IYO is all-world, arguably the best there is in women's wrestling, they really do just need to book to her strengths and she can be a top level champion for them.

She didn’t win a match as the briefcase holder, but it was only two matches, so it wasn’t some severely damaging thing.

Congrats to her, now she can put WWE Women's Champion on her resume and it's more than deserved.

Glad for Iyo, but they've made a literal clown out of Asuka once again - did not survive even Round 1. 😂

I still have no idea what happened, I was in and out of a NyQuil coma for most of SummerSlam and woke up to her raising the belt. Awesome for IYO tho

We’ll see…but given WWEs track record the women’s division discussion will likely be insufferable by Friday. lol
Well deserved and hopefully it’s a good reign before she loses to Bianca or Charlotte.

I'm really pleased for Iyo but Asuka being sacrificed for other people overshadows everything, as usual. They don't deserve her.

This is the english translation of the tweet IYO sent out after she won the womens title lastnight.

Yeah, putting quibbles with the match and Asuka dropping the title already aside, Iyo as new champ makes me happy.

I found this to be the only good thing to happen with the women last night.

I don’t watch much on the regular shows is Candice still around? If so build her up and have Io Vs Candice again. Then maybe Io vs Asuka at the Rumble.

Candice is on Raw so unless she just hops over to SD not likely to see this and even then she has absoloutley nothing behind her right now and WWE would have to get behind her in a big big way and I honestly do not see it happening for her anytime soon outside of her being in the tag division.

Your anime opening could never. Seriously just turn them into a super babyface group.

IYO winning just brings me back to this video and what Sara says at the start of the video really does define what a hell of a journey Io has been on.
Considered the best in the world and never needed to leave that pedestal of not just best Joshi but the best womens wrestler in the world but she cast that aside to prove it to a global audience and crazy that a year ago she was this close to heading back to STARDOM.
There are very few that have that drive to just be willing to start over in practically every way even after being considered the best in your field for years and years and doing everything there was to do already.
I live and die on the hill Io is the best womens wrestler of her generation.
