In a message to Marigold fans, the former WWE Women’s Champion shared her excitement about stepping back into the ring with Iwatani.

“Marigold fans, long time, no see. It’s WWE Superstar IYO SKY. So why am I here? There’s one reason. Mayu Iwatani! Over the past few years, when you and I didn’t meet, we’ve each walked such wonderful paths. Let’s speak to our hearts’ content and tell our story inside of the ring.

October 26 at Marigold’s Ryogoku Kokugikan show, Mayu Iwatani vs. IYO SKY is official! Hey Mayu, let’s shock the world with an amazing match we’ll have. See you soon!”

SKY and Iwatani have a long history together from their STARDOM days, having faced each other multiple times between 2013 to 2018.

The event will take place a week after WWE’s Supershow live events in Japan.

• Top WWE Star is a Free Agent

Logan Paul first appeared in WWE in 2021 during the Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn feud on the road to WrestleMania 37. He then signed a contract with the company a year later and became a part of the roster.

Ahead of RAW’s move to Netflix earlier this year, the former United States Champion moved from SmackDown to the red brand during the WWE Transfer Window. However, his status within the company has changed now.

According to WrestleVotes, Paul is currently listed internally within the WWE roster as a free agent, meaning creative has the freedom to work him in to either RAW or SmackDown storylines when required.

The YouTuber last appeared on WWE programming at Clash In Paris last month, where he lost to John Cena.

• Jazmyn Nyx’s WWE NXT Salary Revealed

NXT star Jazmyn Nyx is leaving WWE. The company wanted to retain Nyx but refused to adjust its contract offer.

According to Fightful Select, Nyx was said to be earning around $75,000 per year, and the same amount was offered to her in a new multi-year deal. It’s unclear if the new contract would have included pay increases over time.

For comparison, while new recruits can make significantly less than that figure, several NXT talents are reportedly on six-figure salaries – in some cases even exceeding WWE’s main roster minimum base pay of $350,000 (like Jordynne Grace, who is on a main roster salary in NXT).

When a fan on Instagram suggested that NXT wrestlers typically earn between $80,000 and $150,000, Nyx responded that there wouldn’t be an issue if that were accurate. One fellow NXT performer also told Fightful that Nyx likely took home less than $60,000 after taxes, while still covering expenses such as wrestling gear and travel.
