The hostility that has been brewing for months between The Kabuki Warriors and the unlikely alliance of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley will finally boil over at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia. The high-stakes encounter is scheduled on Saturday, October 11, 2025. This will be a golden opportunity for Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley to get their revenge on Asuka and Kairi Sane of The Kabuki Warriors.
The root cause of the conflict stems from Iyo Sky’s growing friendship with Rhea Ripley. Their growing friendship angered Asuka, who first asked Iyo Sky to maintain her distance from Rhea Ripley. Asuka, the self-proclaimed mentor, has verbal spats with Rhea Ripley as well, which led to a match between them. A vengeful Asuka viciously attacked Rhea Ripley, and Iyo Sky came to rescue her friend.
"Asuka isn't ready for IYO."

Asuka betrayed Iyo Sky and spat green mist into her eyes. This moment officially cemented Kabuki Warriors as the heels and forced Iyo Sky to team up with Rhea Ripley, whom Asuka despises. The other moment of betrayal came on Monday Night Raw this week when Asuka helped Kairi Sane claim victory over Iyo Sky, and then the two assaulted her after the match.

Though Rhea Ripley had a question about Iyo Sky’s integrity, as her loyalty was towards her family. Iyo Sky asked Rhea Ripley to trust her. Rhea Ripley will return to her home country for Crown Jewel and will have full support from the crowd, but she needs to be cautious of Asuka and her unfair means.

The tag team match between the two teams pits the power and brute force of Rhea Ripley and the aerial mastery of Iyo Sky against the deceptive but aggressive teamwork of Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky. The Kabuki Warrior will hold the tactical advantage over the team of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, owing to their vast experience as a tag team.

The other thing that gives The Kabuki Warriors an edge over Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky is their willingness to bend the rules to benefit them. Rhiyo will need to stay focused and trust each other to win against them in Rhea Ripley’s home. Rhea Ripley would really want to dominate Asuka, but Iyo Sky’s emotions and the cunningness of Asuka might make a clean finish unlikely.

Prediction: The emotionally charged affair is all set to be chaotic. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky are the more powerful duo, but Asuka and her psychological games, and another possible mist attack, might cause a brief distraction. The Kabuki are predicted to win the match as they might capitalize on the distraction. This win will act as a fuel and reignite the war between the two.
A slap to @KAIRI_official?!?

This would protect Rhea Ripley in her home country and keep the deep personal rivalry alive.
