WWE fans were in awe as Iyo Sky performed another death-defying stunt in a WarGames match at Survivor Series.

The former world champion, the only superstar to appear in every WarGames women’s singles bout, once again combined for a trash-talker with reckless abandon.

Known as the Genius of the Sky, Iyo lived up to her nickname when she climbed the cage with a special weapon strapped around her neck and shoulders.

It came into play a few minutes later, when she pulled the trash can over her head, essentially blinding her before delivering an epic moonsault to the ground below.

“The absolute balls Iyo has to actually do this blind are insane,” wrote @WiiMattOnX, while fan account @MsIndiWrestling added, “IYO doing a moonsault completely blind is absolutely mental. What a GOAT.’

‘I’ll never get over it. Blindfold yourself and do a moonsault from the top of a cage. That must be terrifying,” wrote wrestler and YouTuber Simon Miller. ‘Iyo Sky is one of a kind. Unbelievable.’

And fan @StacyAlbano joked: “Death, taxes and Iyo flying into a trash can. A tradition like no other! #SurvivorSeries #WarGames’

To make the moment even more spectacular at the same time rising star Tiffany Stratton – the current Mrs. Money In The Bank – hit a Senton Bomb from another corner of the cage.

The match got better and better as it went on, with plenty of standout moments and drama as storylines combined into a battle worthy of WarGames’ legacy.

Tiffany looked like she wanted to cash in her MITB briefcase to her ally Nia Jax or Liv Morgan, but his boyfriend Raquel Rodriguez put a stop to that.

In the end, Rhea Ripley got the win for her team in brutal fashion when she hit an Avalanche Riptide on Liv from the top rope through a table.
