The Kabuki Warriors betrayed Iyo Sky during last week’s WWE Raw!
In the main event of last week’s Raw, Rhea Ripley pinned Asuka to secure the win in their clash. However, what went down after the main event shocked fans as The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), after weeks of teasing, finally turned heel.
After the loss, Asuka attacked Ripley with the mist and ordered Sane to inflict further punishment. Iyo Sky rushed into the ring to stop Asuka, who had no plans to do so as she, in turn, turned on Iyo and ordered Sane to deliver the insane elbow to close the show.
Following the attack on Ripley’s part and betrayal on Iyo’s part, let us take a look at the top three things they can do ahead of the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel PLE.
3. Isolate Asuka
One thing that has stood out in multiple segments and interactions is that Kairi Sane is fighting against her will to follow through on Asuka’s order. Sane was in tears last week while attacking Sky, although she still stood by Asuka. Ripley and Sky can use mind games to manipulate Sane and turn her against Asuka.
The Kabuki Warriors together might spoil the part for both Ripley and Sky; pitting the two against each other would make sure the numbers game can be neutralized.
2. One-on-One competition

The four women are considered some of the best in-ring technicians WWE has, and if Ripley and Sky decide to go on their separate paths to deal with the Kabuki Warriors’ problem, fans might witness singles clashes featuring the four women.
There is a possibility of Sky considering Asuka and Sane’s family, and therefore trying to reason with them and bury the hatchet. On the other hand, Ripley would definitely want to bash Asuka for the beatdown last week.
1. Tag Team clash in Perth
If isolating Asuka and even going their separate ways does not work, then Ripley and Sky can just team up to challenge the Kabuki Warriors, and what better place to do it than Ripley’s backyard at Crown Jewel. The seventh edition of the PLE will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
Ripley and Sky already share incredible in-ring chemistry, and with Kairi and Asuka now in the opposite corner, fans in Perth can expect a thrilling showdown filled with high-flying, jaw-dropping action.
