The second Orlando tower begins with a match designed to reward aerial offense while also punishing mistimed risks. In WWE 2K26 World Tour: Divers On Top Match 1, IYO SKY faces Blake Monroe in a normal one-on-one match where dive attack damage is doubled.
That modifier makes IYO an excellent choice, but it does not mean every top-rope opportunity is safe.
Blake demonstrated that early by raising her knees against IYO’s middle-rope dropkick. Later, Blake missed her own attack from the top rope and landed hard, giving IYO an opening to regain control. These two moments showed the central strategy of the match: aerial moves can cause major damage, but only when the opponent is properly stunned.
IYO also had to deal with sustained attacks to the legs. Blake repeatedly targeted the knee and base, which can make aerial offense more difficult and reduce mobility. Protecting the legs and avoiding unnecessary reversals near the ropes helped IYO keep enough movement for the closing stretch.
Strategy Takeaway
The safest way to clear this match is:
- wear Blake down with strikes and grapples first
- wait until she is stunned before climbing
- use the doubled dive damage selectively
- avoid repeated aerial attempts if Blake starts countering
- protect IYO’s legs and regain control before taking another risk
- save a strong finisher or grounded attack for the final cover
IYO eventually countered Blake near the top rope and landed a decisive DDT for the victory. The result moves the Orlando World Tour progression into the Divers On Top tower with a strong opening win.
