Dave Meltzer believes IYO SKY will not have a match at WrestleMania 42 this weekend and that her bout with Asuka has likely been pushed back to Backlash.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer pointed to two indicators that led him to that conclusion. The first was IYO SKY posting a public challenge to Asuka on social media a few days ago, then quietly deleting it.

"You would never do that unless you were told to do it," Meltzer said. "So today she took it down. So that tells me, when I thought that it was, no one has told me it's dead. The last I heard was that it could happen, but it would probably is going to be moved to Backlash."

The second was IYO SKY's clean loss to Jade Cargill on Friday's SmackDown.

"When I saw her do that job for Jade on Friday, the way she did it, and it was clean and everything, I thought they've made their decision. She's not going to be on the show. Because if she was going to be on the show, they would have done a different finish in a different way. She was there to just be fodder, to be a nice win for Jade Cargill."

Meltzer added that despite the apparent decision, IYO SKY has a strong case for being on the card based on her work over the last year.

"You could make a very good case that she's the best wrestler in the company, and she's over. She's not over like Ripley, but people like her, she gets her match, gets over. If you're going, who, based on their work over the last year and everything, and getting over in the ring, who deserves it? She deserves it."
