Crown Jewel is just around the corner, and WWE has been pulling all stops to make it a grand spectacle. One of the matches that has been speculated for the upcoming premium live event is the WWE Women's Championship bout.
With Bianca Belair's astounding return to SmackDown last week, it looks like WWE has plans for her to take on IYO SKY in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the company might be contemplating a potential title change in this match.
However, there's a good possibility that WWE has dropped plans for a title change, considering SKY's charismatic reign. She has been consistently drawing huge numbers, with her title matches having impressive ratings.
The Genius of the SKY battled Asuka on the September 22 edition of SmackDown, which drew 2.37 million viewership. Moreover, her match against Charlotte Flair on the October 20 edition of the show drew 2.26 million viewership.
The numbers stand as an epitome of her excellence as WWE Women's Champion. With the Damage CTRL member drawing unfathomable ratings, the company might be reluctant to take that title away from her at this point.
Therefore, WWE might have dropped the plans for a potential World Title change at Crown Jewel. IYO SKY has just begun climbing to the top, and the company must have realized that sooner rather than later.
Possibility of IYO SKY defending her title at Crown Jewel
Over the years, WWE has predominantly featured the women's division in the premium live events in Saudi Arabia. The company took a giant leap this year as it will be holding the first-ever Women's Fatal Five-Way Match in the nation.
The multi-person match will be for the Women's World Championship, as Rhea Ripley will be defending her title against Raquel Rodriquez, Nia Jax, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler at Crown Jewel. With WWE already adding a Women's Title match to the card, it is highly unlikely that IYO SKY will be competing at the event.
WWE will possibly avoid another Women's Title match in the upcoming premium live event. Therefore, the possibility of SKY defending her WWE Women's Championship at Crown Jewel is quite low.
Nonetheless, the company has been prominently featuring The Genius of the SKY on SmackDown. She has been impressing the WWE Universe with her charismatic in-ring skills, defending her title on the blue brand.
