IYO SKY advances to WWE Speed Women’s title tournament finals

IYO SKY is heading to the WWE Speed Women’s Championship tournament finals.

A semifinal victory over Naomi on today’s WWE Speed episode secured SKY’s spot in the finals. After avoiding a split-legged moonsault from Naomi, SKY hit a double underhook backbreaker and her own Over the Moonsault to get the win with 24 seconds remaining of the three-minute time limit.

It will be SKY vs. either Kairi Sane or Candice LeRae in the finals. Sane and LeRae’s semifinal match is airing on Speed at noon Eastern time next Wednesday (October 9). The show is broadcast exclusively on X/Twitter.

If Sane defeats LeRae, it will be an all-Damage CTRL final. SKY & Sane are tag team partners and — in addition to competing in this Speed tournament — are looking to challenge Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.

SKY defeated Lyra Valkyria in the first round of the tournament, while Sane and LeRae’s respective victories were against Elektra Lopez and Piper Niven.

The tournament winner will become the second champion on WWE Speed. Andrade won the men’s WWE Speed title from inaugural champion Ricochet this June.
