Backstage News On Nikki Bella’s Medical Clearance And Its Impact On IYO SKY vs. Asuka At WrestleMania 42

WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins (Brie Bella and Nikki Bella) are scheduled to compete against Charlotte Flair and Alexa, Lyra Valkyria and Bayley, and the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend), in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 42 Night One. However, Nikki has suffered an ankle injury during a brawl with Jax on the March 31st episode of SmackDown and is not yet medically cleared to compete at The Show of Shows.

According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, if Nikki is not medically cleared in time for the event in Las Vegas, Nevada, The Kabuki Warriors will replace The Bella Twins in the Fatal 4-Way Women’s Tag Team Championship Match. Alvarez also mentioned that if Nikki does receive clearance from the WWE medical team, the company will announce a match between IYO SKY and Asuka for the Premium Live Event.

Bodyslam+ further reported that despite WWE revealing the cards for Night One and Night Two, the match between IYO SKY and Asuka is still planned for The Showcase of the Immortals. Notably, SKY recently challenged Asuka to a match at WrestleMania via social media. However, it remains unclear what will happen to SKY if The Kabuki Warriors replace The Bella Twins in the Women’s Tag Team Title Match.
