However, Rhea Ripley intervened, igniting a heated confrontation with Belair. The two titans clashed fiercely, exchanging powerful blows. Just when it seemed Ripley had the upper hand with a counter on IYO, Bianca struck back with another breathtaking KOD.

But in a dazzling twist, IYO SKY soared from the top rope, defying gravity, and landed her stunning Over the Moonsault on Belair, securing the decisive pin and solidifying her historic triumph.
