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.
