A WrestleMania 42 match remains unconfirmed, and new details suggest the delay is tied to a developing medical situation involving a WWE Hall of Famer.
According to Bryan Alvarez, the status of The Bella Twins is currently affecting plans for the card, with a decision hinging on whether Nikki Bella is medically cleared. If Nikki can compete, WWE is expected to move forward with a singles match between Iyo Sky and Asuka. However, if she is not cleared, Asuka would instead team with Kairi Sane in the Women’s Tag Team match, replacing The Bella Twins.
The situation leaves some uncertainty regarding Sky’s role if plans change, as her WrestleMania direction could be impacted depending on the outcome.

Nikki Bella was recently seen wearing a walking boot following the March 27 episode of WWE SmackDown, where she rolled her ankle and could be seen limping after the injury, and while she indicated a quick return at the time, she has not yet been officially cleared on television.
Despite the uncertainty, the match in question is currently scheduled for Night 1 of WrestleMania 42, with WWE finalising plans as the event draws closer.
