Iyo Sky, the former WWE Women’s Champion, has amassed a significant following with her remarkable in-ring skills. However, Sky’s stellar run in the WWE has also led to several fans desiring more information about her life away from the cameras, including her current relationship status.
Nevertheless, the WWE fanbase also includes money-minded fans who want insights into the 35-year-old’s financial condition and WWE earnings instead of her personal life and relationships. So, here’s our attempt to quench the inquisitiveness of both parties by discussing Sky’s dating history, WWE earnings, and net worth.
Iyo Sky: Dating History and Current Relationship Status
To date, Sky has appeared on multiple public platforms, but it can be safely said that she prefers keeping her personal life under cover. Most of her interviews are about her professional ventures: training, match schedules, and similar issues.
However, Sky has a history of romantic relationships despite trying to keep them away from the public eye. The Genius of Sky has reportedly been involved in two relationships to date.
1. Kazushige Nosawa (ring name Nosawa Rongai)
It isn’t known whether Sky was dating someone else before this, but her relationship with the World Wonder Ring Stardom (better known as just Stardom) wrestler, Kazushige Nosawa, during her time in the same promotion stands as her first reported romantic relationship.
The couple reportedly were in a relationship in the early 2010s and lived together in the Koto ward of the Tokyo Metropolis. However, a tragic incident strained their relationship, which was probably one of the reasons behind their separation in 2012.
Sky and her then-boyfriend, Nosawa, were arrested in Japan’s Narita International Airport on charges of marijuana possession after they returned from a Mexico trip in May 2012.
In July, a Mexican wrestler, Takuya Sugi, admitted that he had hidden the illegal substances in a couple of paintings they offered to Sky and Nosawa. (via TheSportster) While no reports say so, Sky’s separation from Nosawa later that year might make many assume that this untoward incident took a toll on their relationship.
2. Takaaki Watanabe
Sky’s relationship with fellow NJPW wrestler Takaaki Watanabe garnered more attention than her previous relationship with Kazushige Nosawa. While it’s unknown when the two started seeing each other, Sky and Watanabe (alias EVIL) took their relationship to the next level by getting engaged. (via ITRWrestling)
However, their relationship didn’t last long, as they parted ways in a few years. Both have been tight-lipped about their split, leaving the reason to the fans’ imagination.
Iyo Sky’s Current Relationship Status
For the past few years, Sky’s interviews and social media posts have strictly focused on professional aspects, including storylines and her WWE schedules. Hence, it is rather difficult to determine whether The Genius of Sky is currently involved in a romantic relationship.
However, Sky is reportedly single, dedicating all her energy to uplifting her WWE career. (via TheSportster)
Iyo Sky: Reported WWE Salary and Net Worth
Given the WWE’s secrecy regarding its wrestlers’ salaries, finding them can often be a tough task. However, a few reports can help estimate Sky’s WWE salary.

Sky is certainly one of the top-tier WWE women’s stars of the modern era. She has the ability to draw fans to arenas. The 35-year-old justifies her ring name with an incredible display of high-flying moves that turn her matches into barnburners.
But while the top-tier men’s stars, like CM Punk and John Cena, reportedly take home a seven-figure amount as their WWE salary, Sky receives much less from Triple H and Co., as her reported salary stands at $500,000.
Iyo Sky’s Reported Net Worth
Sky made her pro-wrestling debut at 16 in 2007, a rare achievement. Since then, she has jumped to several promotions, including the NJPW, before finally signing with WWE in 2018.
