For the past month, WWE has seemingly been building towards a one-on-one contest with IYO SKY and Asuka at WrestleMania, but a match between both competitors has yet to be announced. Last week, Asuka called out SKY on “WWE Raw,” which was met with a WrestleMania challenge from “The Genius Of The Sky” on social media. Additionally, SKY had a match with Asuka’s tag team partner Kairi Sane on last night’s “Raw,” and despite the “Empress Of Tomorrow” causing SKY to lose, a match between the two still wasn’t made official for this weekend. Now a new update has emerged on Tuesday’s episode of the “Wrestling Observer Radio,” as Dave Meltzer shared more details regarding the possibility of SKY and Asuka getting on the card.

“She don’t got a match for Mania,” Meltzer stated. “A couple days ago she put up something on social media, which is basically a challenge. ‘Asuka I challenge you for WrestleMania.’ So at that point when she put that up it’s like okay, they’re going to do the match and they’re going to announce the match on Monday cause she’s put up the challenge. You would never do that unless you were told to do it right? So today she took it down. No one has told me it’s dead. The last I heard was that it could happen, but it would probably be moved to Backlash, but it’s not like it’s for sure that it’s going to be moved to Backlash.”

Meltzer also noted that SKY and Asuka would’ve been booked for night two of WrestleMania, but the likely reason the match could be cut is due to Sunday’s card already being timed out and WWE realizing they don’t need another contest added to the show.

Seth Rollins and GUNTHER are set to come to blows at WrestleMania 42, placing Rollins in the path of the man who retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles. “The Visionary” recently went on “The Rich Eisen Show” to preview the match.

“He’s the real deal, that guy, like there’s no joke there,” Rollins said. “He’s legitimate.”

Rollins noted that he’s known GUNTHER since his indie days when he was known as WALTER, and expressed that they’re similar in that they were both underestimated before their rise to the top. Rollins also pointed out that he and GUNTHER only had one in ring encounter seven years ago, and that WrestleMania will be the first time they have a real match since then. Rollins won that match, a 2019 contest on “WWE Raw,” by disqualification.

“I’m not going to make any predictions as far outcome is concerned. What I will predict is that I will put on a show,” Rollins said. “Because it’s WrestleMania and that’s what I do. And so if anybody out there is wondering what version of Seth Rollins we’re going to get, I promise you right now, I will look you dead in the eye, you are going to get the very best version, you are going to get the WrestleMania version of Seth Rollins that you know and are accustomed to. I will bring everything that I have got in Las Vegas.”

It has not been the easiest time between WWE and its fanbase this WrestleMania season, with the promotion having some issues getting fans into the building for both nights of their big event, as well as some consumer unrest regarding certain WrestleMania storylines. But that doesn’t mean WWE has given up on trying to make their customers satisfied, and they have now launched a new initiative that will allow fans several unique opportunities for future WWE rewards.

In a Tuesday morning press release, WWE announced the launch of Club WWE. Despite the suggestion of its name, this is not a WWE themed night club or a relaunch of WWF New York from decades ago, but in fact an insider membership program that will allow WWE fans that is “designed to bring fans closer to WWE than ever before through exclusive access, rewards and experiences.”

“Our fans are the heartbeat of WWE, and everything we do begins with them,” WWE legend John Cena said in a statement. “Club WWE is about bringing that connection to life in a bigger way, through exclusive access, unique experiences and a true sense of community. It’s a premium destination built to reward passion and give our most dedicated fans a meaningful way to engage with WWE all year round.”

Fans will be required to pay a fee for Club WWE membership, though the cost wasn’t revealed in the press release. Among the benefits available to Club members are “exclusive 24-hour ticket presale access to all WWE events around the world,” “a Members-only WWE Shop featuring exclusive collections and early access,” Bonus WWE content, a members-only community forum, “a Points-based rewards system allowing fans to earn credits to redeem and a Premium Welcome Pack for Founding Members.”

WWE promised more details regarding Club WWE will be made available in the coming weeks, including additional benefits and launch timings. A waitlist site has already been set up for those who wish to join the program.

One of the most important parts of Cody Rhodes’ character since he reinvented it after being let go by WWE is his theme song, “Kingdom,” with him detailing why he can never change it.

Rhodes’ theme song is probably one of the most popular ones in all of pro wrestling, which was created by rock band Downstait after Rhodes left WWE in 2016. He spoke about his love for the song during his appearance on “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast,” although he admitted that it can get on one’s nerves when played repeatedly.

“I like Kingdom, the song I come out to, and those guys are great, Downstait’s great. It’s a great song. It’s done amazing things. It’s the only walkout song I think WWE has, that WWE doesn’t own, which I don’t know how we feel about that. But the issue is, I hear it so much that, especially at the end of the night, if I’m doing the rounds and I’m staying and they’re just playing that one song, it gets you,” he said.

Rhodes explained that he won’t ever change his entrance song but caveated that by saying he would have to change it if he turns heel.

“I can say this, it can never change unless I was to go, you know, bad guy, then that song is out, I suppose. But that’s the other thing. I’m locked into it. We’re married together, that song and I,” added Rhodes.

It remains to be seen if Rhodes will replace his theme, considering he has stated time and again that he won’t turn heel. “The American Nightmare,” if things hadn’t gone as per plan, may have not use the “Kingdom” theme on his return to WWE as the band and WWE were in a legal battle over the usage and ownership of the theme song. But things worked out for the best for all parties involved, as Cody Rhodes returned to the promotion at WrestleMania 38 and went on a great run to become the face of WWE.
