Peter Rosenberg responds to IYO SKY clip, tells wrestlers ‘don’t bother with these dives’

When he interacts with WWE talent, radio host and commentator Peter Rosenberg advises them to avoid doing moves like suicide dives.

A clip from Monday’s Raw has been going around social media showing IYO SKY coming up short while trying to hit Asuka with a dive. While attempting the move, SKY contacted the ropes and wasn’t able to get enough air, falling on her head/neck before reaching her intended target. Rosenberg responded to the clip by saying that he wishes wrestlers would avoid moves like this because of how little upside they have.

“This is why I tell whoever I can at evolve and even on the main roster — don’t bother with these dives,” Rosenberg wrote.” They are all risk — no reward. If you successfully hit a suicide dive in 2026 no one cares, But if you mess it up you could truly harm yourself! Don’t do it.”

Rosenberg is part of the commentary team for WWE Evolve, which focuses on Performance Center recruits and WWE ID prospects. He also is a panelist on PLE pre-shows and post-shows and hosts SiriusXM’s Cheap Heat.

After receiving some pushback from fans for making a comment like this as a non-wrestler, Rosenberg posted a follow-up.

“People seem upset I posted this. It came only from a place of sincere care,” he wrote. “Iyo is amazing and one of the best on earth and it still presents a huge risk. I just think the risks outweigh the reward. I say this as a huge fan and someone who is privileged enough to be up close and personal with this business. I am not a wrestler and never put my body on the line. My respect for those who do it is undying. That said — I have opinions for a living . And my opinion is this move is not dope enough to be worth it anymore.”

SKY lost to Raquel Rodriguez on Monday’s Raw after Asuka and Kairi Sane got involved. A match between SKY and Asuka could potentially be added to the card for WrestleMania 42.

Announce team revealed for WWE Evolve

The commentary team for WWE Evolve has been revealed ahead of its debut next week.

After Shawn Michaels announced on ESPN Radio that Pete Rosenberg would be the voice for the upcoming show, Rosenberg on social media wrote that Mr. Stone would also be part of the announce team when the show debuts next Wednesday on Tubi, going head-to-head with AEW Dynamite.

“I have wanted to do play by play my whole life and I am so so excited to be the voice of @WWE Evolve alongside my man @MrStoneWWE…wrestling fans are going to love this show…First episode airs Wednesday night at 8 pm on @Tubi!!! Thank you @ShawnMichaels for this amazing announcement!,” he wrote.

It was reported recently in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the show would be headed creatively by Gabe Sapolsky and would be similar to WWE’s previous program Level Up, though it will have its own angles and storylines.

R-Truth regains WWE 24/7 title from Peter Rosenberg

Pre-show panelist Peter Rosenberg is no longer WWE 24/7 Champion.

While Rosenberg was on the air co-hosting The Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York 98.7 FM and the YES Network today, there was a bit where R-Truth and a referee snuck into Rosenberg’s hotel room through a balcony. R-Truth confronted Rosenberg and pinned him to regain the 24/7 title.

Rosenberg had pinned R-Truth to win the 24/7 title during a segment on last night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view. After tricking R-Truth into thinking John Cena was there, Rosenberg low blowed R-Truth and pinned him to become 24/7 Champion.

Rosenberg was part of the pre-show panel for the Royal Rumble. He then won the 24/7 title from R-Truth during a panel segment on the Royal Rumble main card. Earlier in the night, R-Truth had lost the 24/7 title to Alicia Fox during the women’s Royal Rumble match but won it right back.

Rosenberg hosts The Michael Kay Show with Michael Kay and Don La Greca. Video of R-Truth regaining the 24/7 title from him is available to watch below:
