Kairi Sane’s WWE Release Stands As Company Sets Asuka–IYO SKY For Backlash

Reports place Sane back in Japan, leaving a fan-favorite storyline without a payoff.

Overview

  • PWInsider says the Friday roster cut remains in effect and that Kairi Sane has returned to Japan.
  • Fans rallied behind the #WeWantKairi push, and WWE interviewer Jackie Redmond posted support then deleted it.
  • Following Monday’s Raw angle, Triple H announced IYO SKY vs. Asuka for Backlash on May 9 in Tampa.
  • On Tuesday night, Sane posted that she has “never walked away” and has given her all, without hinting at a return.
  • Wrestling Observer reports her exit followed her desire to move back to Japan, which cut short the Kabuki Warriors arc with Asuka and IYO.
