10 Superstars Most Responsible For WWE's New Boom Period

Cream always rises to the top. Especially when that cream is one of the best wrestlers in the world.

During her days as Io Shirai on NXT, SKY proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that she was destined to be a major player in wrestling. From her brilliant in-ring work to her genuine connection with the fans, there was no chance she wouldn't make it. The only worry was that she wouldn't make it on the main roster under the supervision of Vince McMahon.

Asuka would be the biggest case in point, who, despite having multiple title reigns, has never been positioned as the epicentre of the women's division.

When SKY did make it to the main roster, there was palpable excitement, despite being woefully miscast as a villain as part of the returning Bayley's Damage CTRL stable. Tagging with Dakota Kai, the duo had their momentum stalled by not winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships immediately, but they battled on and had a couple of unmemorable reigns with the belts.

But the fans gravitated towards the former NXT Women's Champion, and as the seeds were sewn for her eventual split from Bayley, SKY went into Money In The Bank 2023 as the red hot favourite for the briefcase. Her ingenious route to victory was met with a standing ovation and every teased cash in since has had the fans on the edge of their seat.

When she does cash in, the entire arena will shake.
