She was alone and looked like she was in trouble. It seemed like a difficult moment for her. Would they attack? Just when things looked bleak for Charlotte, music played, and out came Asuka. Asuka’s presence changed everything. Damage CTRL decided not to do anything. They slowly backed away, leaving the ring. Everyone was wondering, what would Asuka do next? She took the microphone but didn’t speak in English. She spoke in Japanese, her language. Not everyone understood, but her message was clear when Bayley spoke next. Bayley made a huge announcement. The news? IYO SKY will face both Charlotte Flair and Asuka at WWE Fastlane in a triple-threat match. A triple threat means all three will fight at the same time, and only one can win.

WWE Smackdown 22nd September: IYO Sky vs. Asuka For WWE Women’s Championship, Bloodline Awaits John Cena
The Friday Night edition is all set to go live from the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ on September 22, 2023. Asuka will have her chance to win back the WWE Women’s Championship as she faces IYO SKY on this week’s episode of “WWE SmackDown” on September 22. This exciting news was revealed during last Friday’s episode of “SmackDown,” exactly two weeks ago. At WWE SummerSlam, Asuka lost her WWE Women’s Championship. In a Triple Threat title match, Bianca Belair emerged as the new champion, defeating both Asuka and Charlotte Flair. But Belair’s reign didn’t last long, as SKY used her Money in the Bank contract to seize the title right then and there. Just a little while ago, SKY successfully defended her championship against Zelina Vega on the August 25 episode of WWE SmackDown. During the previous episode, Asuka made a surprise appearance near the timekeeper’s area. She grabbed SKY’s championship while Dakota Kai was holding it, causing a distraction that led to Shotzi and Flair defeating Damage CTRL. After the match, Asuka and SKY had a tense encounter, with Asuka throwing the championship at SKY’s feet. Following this, Asuka declared backstage that their match would take place on “SmackDown” rather than at the upcoming Fastlane premium live event. It’s worth noting that Asuka and SKY were once a tag team in Japan about a decade ago but have never competed against each other in singles competition, except for an untelevised match at a WWE house show in 2022. SKY won the title at SummerSlam after Belair’s victory over Asuka in a triple-threat match involving Flair. The big question is, will The Genius of the Sky be prepared to take on Asuka? Or is “SmackDown” on the verge of witnessing another reign for The Empress of Tomorrow? Additionally, for this week’s SmackDown, John Cena has been announced. Last week, John Cena had a face-off with his former adversary, The Rock, who has now become his friend. Cena also made a memorable appearance on “The Grayson Waller Effect” and confronted Jimmy Uso in the ring. However, Uso grabbed the microphone from Cena’s hand and ordered him to leave “his” ring. This led to Solo Sikoa, accompanied by Paul Heyman, entering the scene. Sikoa faced off with Cena while Uso pumped up the crowd. Sikoa briefly attacked his brother but then opted to superkick Cena. As Sikoa and Uso started assaulting Cena, AJ Styles rushed to the ring to help. Cena delivered his signature move, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, to Uso and attempted the Attitude Adjustment, but Sikoa intervened just in time. Cena and AJ Styles stood tall together, reminding everyone of their iconic rivalry. The entire Bloodline is waiting for Cena this week on SmackDown. What will happen when Cena takes the microphone and steps into the ring? Could there be interference from The Bloodline? To find out the answers to all these questions, make sure to tune in to Friday Night SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX.

WWE Superstar Gunther Considers Charlotte Flair and IYO SKY to join him for Imperium
In an exclusive interview, WWE Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, mentioned two of the industry’s most influential female stars as potential additions to his faction, Imperium. This comes on the back of the group’s recent move to RAW in the 2023 WWE Draft and ongoing feuds with WWE superstars like Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle. Gunther, along with his current Imperium allies Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser, has been a force to be reckoned with in the WWE. Gunther Names Potential Female Additions to Imperium Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Riju Dasgupta, Gunther made it clear that, while he is content with the current lineup of Imperium, the addition of certain women wrestlers could enhance the stable’s strength and influence. The names he brought up were none other than the high-flying IYO SKY, and the 14-time Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair. “We get asked often if we want additional members or something. I think no, we’re good how we are. I think if we have to choose someone I think it would either be IYO or Charlotte, I would think,” Gunther shared. IYO SKY and Charlotte Flair: Assets to Imperium? Both the women Gunther mentioned have made considerable waves in the world of WWE. IYO SKY, the recent winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank contract, now possesses the power to challenge for a world title at any time she chooses.

Charlotte Flair, on the other hand, is a legendary name in the industry, already one of the most decorated wrestlers in WWE history.

After the group’s switch to RAW from SmackDown in the WWE Draft 2023, Imperium has proven its mettle by engaging in thrilling feuds with some of the biggest names in the WWE.

Will we see IYO SKY or Charlotte Flair join forces with the European trio? Only time will tell what the future holds for these WWE superstars and for Imperium. One thing is certain: whether it expands or not, Imperium will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the WWE universe.
