Just to make sure people don't forget that there's also a SmackDown Women's title to be defended at WrestleMania alongside its potentially headlining red brand equivalent, WWE have announced a Fatal Four Way scheduled for next week to determine champion Asuka's opponent at the Show of Shows.

Following last night's episode of the show, WWE uploaded a video in which roving backstage reporter Kayla Braxton caught up with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville backstage. It was announced that the pair, as well as Carmella and Naomi, will face off to determine The Empress of Tomorrow's opponent come 7 April.

Asuka sneaked her way to the SmackDown Women's Championship at last December's TLC pay-per-view, besting Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch in a ladder match. Since then, the feud - sans Asuka - has been transferred to Raw, leaving the blue belt somewhat on the backburner. Asuka's last defence of her strap came at the Fastlane PPV, where she dispatched one of her potential WrestleMania opponents, Mandy Rose.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
