Current Match Plans for IYO SKY for WrestleMania 42

Bodyslam+ reported that their sources stated that there has been internal discussions within WWE about plans for IYO SKY to face off against Asuka in a match for this April’s WrestleMania 42 event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was reported that WWE officials have intentionally avoided having long periods of in-ring action between Asuka and SKY due to this match being currently scheduled for WrestleMania.

It was also reported that there have been some recent internal discussions and support about potentially adding Kairi Sane and making the match into a Triple Threat instead for WrestleMania.

SKY has been feuding on and off with The Kabuki Warriors in recent months that originated with The Kabuki Warriors turning on SKY during their time together in Damage CTRL. The Kabuki Warriors themselves have also been dealing with growing friction within over Asuka’s constant bullying and insulting towards Sane in recent months.
