IYO SKY's WWE contract was set to expire just one month after her SummerSlam 2022 return.
The reigning WWE Women's Champion revealed this tidbit of information when discussing with Tokyo Sports how she considered leaving WWE for a return to the Japanese wrestling scene.
"I thought about it (returning to Japan)," the Damage CTRL member said. "It wasn’t that I didn’t like America, but that if there was nothing I could do here, I thought that if I went to Japan, there would be more things I could do. And I have grown a lot since I left Japan, so I was confident that I could show a different kind of work in Japan this time."
'The Genius of the Sky' continued, "It was my policy not to give up. I set a goal to work hard until the contract was over, and I stayed there for about a year. I appeared at SummerSlam 2022 when my contract was about to end in one month."
