Cynthia is not being promoted as a Dragon Trainer. It was just an initial mistranslation of the title that gave us that image.
I think the lack of news is just a result of the episode still being far away enough for there not to be any yet.
Cynthia has had plenty of focus episodes too. And...
That was BW trying to make Axew look strong while keeping it marketable. Now that Iris is no longer in the spotlight, that no longer applies, so Axew has been allowed to evolve into Haxorus and learn strong moves to believably make it strong.
This is the scenario I was thinking too. I don't mind Iris losing, as long as she can prove to Cynthia that she can hold her own. Maybe Iris could even score a KO or two before going down.
Iris deserves to show how much she's grown. Iris may not have as many fans as, say, Misty, but she's redeemed herself in the eyes of many during Journeys. I think this battle would be even more amazing if they directly referenced their previous "battle" in BW and show how much Iris has grown since.
