The women's division once again starred in a great main event on WWE Raw, in a match between former champions where Rhea Ripley managed to defeat Asuka. However, what happened next left fans shocked: The Kabuki Warriors betrayed their friend IYO SKY, who had come out to defend Rhea.

Ripley and Asuka had an intense match. The fight was full of strikes and holds, with both wrestlers refusing to give in. However, tension in Asuka's corner became palpable when Kairi Sane hesitated to intervene at her partner's request, which ultimately cost Asuka the victory.

The final result was just the beginning of chaos. Despite her defeat, a furious Asuka spat her Green Mist in Rhea Ripley's face, blinding her completely. Asuka demanded that Kairi Sane attack her, but her partner's indecision led to IYO SKY stepping in. IYO tried to calm her friends down, which seemed to work at first, until Asuka turned around and betrayed her with a direct backfist to the face.

With tears in her eyes, Kairi Sane finally gave in to Asuka's orders and mercilessly attacked IYO SKY. After leaving a defenseless Rhea Ripley with a kick, Asuka ordered Kairi to finish off her compatriot. With a mix of sadness and anger, Kairi leaped from the corner with her Insane Elbow onto IYO.
