Rikishi has sent a message and made an announcement about what's happening at WrestleMania weekend. What might this mean for Jey Uso?

The WWE Hall of Famer said that now that WrestleMania weekend was over, it was time for WrestleCon. He said he would be present signing pictures, autographs, new Bloodline YEET T-shirts, customized Jacob Fatu belts, and other merchandise. He asked fans to come meet him, get the new “YEET” belt, and meet him in Las Vegas.

In February 2025, it was reported that The Queen had ended her marriage with Andrade El Idolo. The former couple, who married in 2022, finalized their divorce two years later in October 2024. As of this writing, the exact reasons for the split between the two WWE Superstars are not fully public.

During a recent interview with Sherri Shepherd on her show, Charlotte Flair admitted she struggled with feelings of failure after her divorce from the 35-year-old star. The former SmackDown Women's Champion feared judgment and the shame of another divorce.

Sonya Deville was part of the WWE roster for several years. After competing in season six of Tough Enough, she earned a contract with the Stamford-based promotion. She started wrestling on NXT for two years before she was moved to the main roster, where she formed a team with Mandy Rose. On the main roster, she got lost in the shuffle of the women's division. Even after spending several years on the main roster, Deville captured the Women's Tag Team Titles once but got injured during her reign. When she returned from injury, she formed Pure Fusion Collective with Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark. Despite being featured regularly on TV, WWE didn't renew her contract earlier this year, and she was released from the company.

According to PWInsider, Sonya Deville will attend Invicta 61 this Friday at the Grand Hotel & Casino in Shawnee, Oklahoma. However, her reason for attending is still unknown.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select was asked a question regarding The Empress of Tomorrow's future. The wrestling insider revealed he had last heard about Asuka when a pitch was made for her to have a WrestleMania match. However, that hasn't taken shape, and the veteran's name has not been brought up by the creative team after their last pitch.

Moreover, the wrestling insider stated there was no indication either on whether she was cleared to return to in-ring competition yet. The worrying update suggests that Asuka is most likely going to miss WrestleMania 41.
