Personally, I don't think it would be necessary.

First off, it would be inconsistent, since there were days on this wiki when you could do a rematch without support if the original author was inactive, in which case there would be no support to link to for that battle in particular. wasn't until late May 2012 that support for rematches were absolutely necessary if the author was inactive. Given that there are some circumstances under which rematches are done simply because the author gave permission, it would be inconsistent with the idea of saying support was given. There are also some rematches done by the same author of the original battle, in which case no support or permission was even needed, and there would be no link, which would only increase the inconsistency on warrior pages.

And second, we don't really see any illegal rematches on this wiki these days. In all my time on here, I've only seen rematch that violated the rules that existed for rematches at the time. And when we do see illegal rematches, they get dealt with quickly. Pretty much all rematches we see these days are done legitimately, and everything's explained in the "Rematch Information" heading, so I think that's authentication enough there.

Lastly, most blog posts for rematches provide the source of the support or approval of the rematch, so in many cases adding a link at the end of the rematch information would be doubling over.

That's my opinion on the subject.
