Both women are getting their praise but you are seeing two sides emphasis two different people. The mainstream outlets are mostly in on praising Bayley....just go look at the post show thing with Charlotte and Punk nothing was said about IYO Fans on the other hand while giving Bayley her shine also are majority giving praise to IYO. In the end though what is gonna matter is whether HHH paid f***ing attention to IYO because if the draft is in a month like I have been hearing (I have not seen an official announcement) then IYO needs to go to Raw immediately and be the one to dethrone Rhea Ripley , if they let IYO's performance lastnight goes to waste then she is better off not signing a new deal when her contract is up early next year. Why does Io need to be the one to defeat Ripley? |

Why does Io need to be the one to defeat Ripley? Who else would you suggest? No one wants Nia as champion She beat Becky and quite frankly Becky has for the past few months felt...off Liv while I like has proven she isn't someone you throw the title on atleast long term to head up the division. IYO proved lastnight how head and shoulders she is bell to bell above any other woman on this roster to ignore that performance and let it go to waste by just sliding her to the midcard would be IMO very f***ing stupid and getting her away from Bianca and Jade that whole lot needs to happen because if she stays on SD she is nothing but fodder to them and again how anyone who watched her lastnight can sit and be like....oh yea that's what she deserves unless they really f***ing hate her for whatever reason. And Rhea's title reign needs to end ...she isn't losing that title to anyone currently on the Raw roster and we saw how much wasted space there has been with her title reign as she just wasted months waiting for the Becky feud to actually start so she could actually ya know be an active champion and not just someone with a title that hung around in the goth club. |

Why does Io need to be the one to defeat Ripley? Probably because she should be a top woman in the company after that performance last night? On the same level as Bianca and Rhea? And Bianca is almost certainly going to be feuding with Jade at some point. And I don't think you can realistically drag Rhea's reign out until Mania next year either, because it's already getting long in the tooth because outside of the Becky feud, there's no one credible for her to feud with on either RAW or Smackdown right now, outside of Bianca, Jade, and maybe Iyo. And I have a feeling Bianca is remaining on Smackdown along with Jade. That's the frustration people have here. Iyo is absolutely a top tier main event level talent, but WWE absolutely refuses to acknowledge it and seems to be sabotaging her with poor creative. Yes she got the co-main event, but almost certainly only because they wanted to give Bayley a huge rub. The only women they want people to see as top level main event level stars are Bayley, Becky, Bianca, Rhea, and Jade. If they wanted Iyo to be seen on that level, they could have easily told Punk, Charlotte, and others to talk her up in interviews. Hell, even Bayley didn't give Iyo much credit during the post show press conference. She mentioned Iyo was a good competitor, but then spent more time absolutely gushing about how Rhea, Bianca, Jade, etc are the future. Just look at Iyo's title run. They did the bare minimum, or possibly even lower than that to actually portray her as someone for fans to be invested in. This is why this thread is incredibly negative and hostile towards anything that doesn't push her towards the top. Because it absolutely feels like WWE is intentionally sabotaging her because they have their handpicked chosen ones and don't want to deviate from that. For lack of a better phrase, she's basically seen as a B+ level talent at the best of times when she should be an A+ level talent and on the same level as Rhea and Bianca. It's just WWE doesn't want to actually invest in building her up to that level. |

https://www.instagram.com/p/C5gOiAVLP_X Wonder if she's just thanking the fans or this is a "I'm taking a break or leaving WWE" post. She has a bunch of coworkers in the responses thanking her as well, so I dunno. Guess we'll see. |

I think it is a combination of her being grateful but also taking some time off...she was the most consistent champion pretty much since she won it , on every house show etc so I can believe she gets some much needed down time and comes back as a full fledged babyface...maybe depending on how the draft plays out for her. Because I think if she was leaving the company wholesale she would post something much much more indepth summarzing every feeling and giving thanks to everyone she could name. |

That Rose Plant into a flip was freaking awesome. It was a great match but that was amazing. I was hoping Iyo would win but honestly, they put on a great match tonight so I'm good with the end result.

More than anything IMO she needed that performance just for herself.
Because if she doesn't know it yet she should because she reminded everyone who is still the best damn womens wrestler in the world and top 10 regardless of gender.

Isn't she still under contract until early next year? Yeah, probably a thank you for the reign and possibly a well-earned vacation. |

Yeah, but I also wouldn't be shocked if she requested her release or something, and WWE probably wouldn't fight it either. She's talked several times about how she misses being in Japan more often, and before she signed a new deal, said that she was strongly considering retirement at the time, but had goals left to fulfill in WWE. No idea if all of those goals were accomplished or not, as she didn't specify what they were. |

If Iyo asked for her release, we would have heard of it by now, IMO. Sean Ross Sapp was out there breaking that Matt Hardy's AEW deal was up at 3AM. If stuff like that happened, he knows.

There is no way in hell IMO she walks away from WWE right now not after lastnight....now when her contract is officially up who knows what choice she makes then.
Also IYO pretty much goes to Japan weekly according to her describing her schedule after she would do all her house shows for the week she would jet off to Japan for like 3 days and then fly back in time for SD and was pretty much doing that loop her entire time as champion.

AEW employee and podcast talking person Mark Henry was complaining on his show that Kairi “didn’t respect the business” because *checks notes* …she stayed in the ring too long during Bianca/Naomi/Jade’s entrance, and that they should have shot on her for it. What a man baby nitpick overreaction.

What a man baby nitpick overreaction. He says a lot of dumb things on Busted Open and is super-protective of Jade. It's a bad combination when both those things intersect. |

What a man baby nitpick overreaction. Bubba Ray also encouraged that as well, apparently. They REALLY hate Kairi on Busted Open for some reason. |
