IYO Sky is officially one step away from becoming Queen of the Ring.
The June 15 episode of WWE RAW continued WWE’s road to Night of Champions, with the Queen of the Ring tournament moving into the semifinal stage.
The stakes remain high because the tournament winner will earn a championship opportunity at SummerSlam. That has made every match feel important as WWE’s top women fight to stay alive in the bracket.
Sky entered RAW after defeating Roxanne Perez earlier in the tournament. Across the ring was Raquel Rodriguez, who advanced by beating Bayley.
The matchup gave fans a clear contrast in styles. Rodriguez brought the power, while Sky relied on speed, timing, and her ability to survive under pressure.
Rodriguez controlled parts of the match by using her strength advantage. She was able to slow Sky down and overpower her at key moments.
Sky kept fighting back and had the crowd behind her throughout the match. Every time Rodriguez looked ready to take full control, Sky found a way to stay in it.
That resilience became the difference. After a hard-fought semifinal, Sky pulled out the win and punched her ticket to the Queen of the Ring tournament final.
The victory puts Sky in position for one of the biggest opportunities of her year. Winning the tournament would send her to SummerSlam with a guaranteed title shot.
The other side of the bracket still features major names, including Liv Morgan and Charlotte Flair. Whoever advances will meet Sky in a final with major championship implications.
For now, Sky has done her part. She survived Rodriguez, reached the final, and moved within one victory of claiming the Queen of the Ring crown.
