• WWE Changed A Wrestler’s Name At SummerSlam 2022
As seen in the opening match of WWE SummerSlam 2022, Bianca Belair defeated Becky Lynch to retain the RAW Women’s Championship.
After the match, both women showed respect to each other and hugged.
Former Women’s Champion Bayley then made her return from injury and brought former NXT wrestler Dakota Kai and former NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai with her, to confront the “EST of WWE”.
WWE has changed Io Shirai’s name to IYO SKY.
They confirmed it on their website while talking about this post-match angle:
“Bayley brought Dakota Kai and IYO SKY along with her, leaving the WWE Universe stunned. The three made their way into the ring, but as Bayley berated Belair, Lynch stepped in to back up her former rival. The WWE Universe erupted in anticipation of a brawl, but Bayley, Kai, and SKY chose to retreat.”
