IYO SKY is one of the most beloved stars on the WWE roster today. She recently faced her long-time rival Mayu Iwatani at Marigold Grand Destiny at the prestigious Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. Following her match with Mayu, SKY shed some light on the Locomotion German Suplex she used in the match which she doesn't use in WWE.

SKY and Mayu shared the ring multiple times in STARDOM Wrestling. The duo was famously known as "Thunder Rock" in the promotion and held the Goddesses of STARDOM titles for over 407 days. They also had many singles matches with each other before IYO joined WWE.

While speaking on the Press Conference of the show, SKY revealed that she doesn't use the Locomotion German Suplex in WWE.

“No, I don’t do them like that anymore. I haven’t done it even once in America, have I? Three consecutive German suplexes?; Mayu probably didn’t want to take it, so she might have resisted desperately, but I had no choice but to throw her! It became a match where I pushed myself beyond my physical and mental limits.” she said.
