• WWE Wrestlers Are Facing Issues Due To Sponsors On The Ring Mat
On his Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed that WWE wrestlers are facing issues in the ring due to sponsors on the ring mat:
“By the end of the night, the middle of that ring gets really slippery with them logos painted in there. I’ll just say it bro, I noticed. I can’t get running full speed. I’ve gotta be really careful with my feet and my placement, because the logos that they now paint in the middle of the ring.
I started it with PRIME. We were the first in-ring middle of the ring sponsor ever with the logo. It’s not us anymore.
I know this was a thing because before we did that, we were going back and forth with WWE about whether or not it was even possible, because the way they paint it, they wanted to actually stress test the mats and have people wrestle and see if it got oily, and they determined that the type of paint they used was okay and that it wasn’t gonna be slippery.
But then they started using colored paint as well. I don’t know what they’re using now, but I’m telling you, it’s slippery.”

• Real Reason Cody Rhodes Lost The WWE Title In January
WWE has known for a while that Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton would eventually collide on the grandest stage. According to PWInsider and Fightful Select, a match between the two has been the plan for WrestleMania 42 since at least January.
The two stars were reportedly told about this direction over a month ago, even though it wasn’t clear to fans how the story would get there.
Interestingly, one of the main reasons WWE had Cody lose the Undisputed Title in January was to make sure he could be part of the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber matches. The company felt his presence in those matches would help sell more tickets and draw more viewers to those events.
While things in WWE can always change at the last minute, the plan as of late February was still to have Orton face Rhodes in a singles match. Now that Orton has won the Elimination Chamber, everything seems to be moving exactly toward that goal for Las Vegas.
As previously noted, Cody is expected to defeat Drew and become a 3-time WWE Champion this Friday on SmackDown.

• Spoiler On IYO SKY’s WrestleMania 42 Match
With her tag team partner, Rhea Ripley, going after the WWE Women’s Championship, fans have been wondering what’s next for IYO SKY. Well, they finally have an answer: she will have a title match at WrestleMania 42.
Many noticed that IYO’s match against Giulia was pulled from a recent episode of SmackDown. According to Self Made Pro, that delay was completely intentional.
WWE decided to postpone the match for creative reasons, specifically so they could save the first-time showdown for the WrestleMania stage.
Instead of giving the match away on SmackDown, WWE wants to do Giulia vs. IYO SKY for the Women’s United States Championship at WrestleMania 42.
