WWE SummerSlam 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

5. IYO SKY’s MITB Flop

Quick pop quiz question! Who's the reigning WWE Women's Champion? It's Asuka, of course, but there are some in company creative meetings who'd likely hesitate before answering. They've pushed the champ so far into the background before SummerSlam that she might as well be a floating title in match graphics.

Then, there's IYO SKY. She's caught between Bayley's ongoing side issue with a revamped Shotzi and trying to muscle in on an already-busy title scene between Asuka, Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair. Wouldn't it be awful if she was booked to cash in her Money In The Bank briefcase at SummerSlam and lose?

Y'know, just 'cause WWE couldn't be arsed to show some restraint.

They don't normally keep that case on women for this long, so the writers might be getting itchy trigger fingers. It'd be rubbish, but they'd blast away one creative headache by having Bayley accidentally cost IYO her cash-in moment, or something similar.
