Bianca Belair went on to show her freakish strength at BackLash by performing a one-armed military press on Iyo Sky. The move was perfectly executed, but not that well for the Damage Control member. Sky had a scary fall that might have landed her in a serious injury. The EST of WWE showed the wrestling universe she has immense power as she hit Iyo Sky with a one-arm military press. However, during the impressive spot, Sky fell hard on her face and might have been hurt severely. But the former NXT Women’s Champion completed the match and also did several high spots against Belair.

The San Juan crowd was in support of Io Sky as she received a huge pop during her entrance. Furthermore, Belair was booed inside the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot arena in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Hence, the concerns for the Damage Control member were more after she fell from a height of over 6ft.

Remember kids, a one armed body press in a wrestling match is cool until the person being pressed gets dropped right on their face. #RawWomensTitle #WWEBacklash #BiancaBelair #IoSky

The incident caught a lot of viewers by surprise.
Holy fuck get the title off Bianca. Girl alimony just killed io sky with that 1 hand shit.
Also this crowd would lose it if IO SKY won. She definitely deserves it. So much better then Bianca. #WWEBacklash

Bianca Belair has no technique at all, she is strong, but she has no grace at all as Champion :/ Io Sky has much more dominance. And idc if it's me, but Bianca is Botching a lot… And WTF with that one arm grab??? She exposed Io's face to the mat. Irresponsable. #WWEBacklash
