IYO SKY Comments on Her Next Goal Being to Elevate Women’s Division More

Denise Salcedo held a recent interview with IYO SKY. One of the topics discussed included SKY’s thoughts about how she wants to elevate WWE’s Women’s division more for the next goal in her wrestling career.

“I wanted to become the champion. I checked the bucket. But I still can do something else. I can support everybody. I can elevate my career still, and I want to elevate women’s division more. So that is my next goal.”

SKY also gave her thoughts about her reasons for her successes in her WWE career.

“I [am] always ready to wrestle. If I have day off, I go to gym. I do kickboxing, jujutsu, and not only do flipping move[s].
I [am] always practicing so many things like martial arts. I don’t use [them] in ring, but it’s good for my conditioning, so that [has] so much helped me. That’s why I [became] the champion.”
