Since Kairi Sane’s release from WWE last Friday, there has been no change in her status. The multi-time Women’s Tag Team Champion was one of the most surprising cuts among over two dozen roster eliminations made by WWE. Notable names among those released include Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, and the members of the Wyatt Family.
Kairi Sane’s Departure from WWE
Kairi Sane’s release has sparked significant outrage among fans, particularly due to her role in the ongoing storyline involving IYO SKY and Asuka. Social media erupted with the hashtag #WeWantKairi, which has been trending consistently since the announcement of her release.
Speculations and Clarifications
Despite rampant speculation suggesting that WWE might reconsider their decision, sources confirm that Kairi Sane will not return. Mike Johnson of PWInsider clarified that claims of her reinstatement or immediate return to Raw are incorrect.
- Kairi Sane is back in Japan.
- There is no chance she will appear on Raw tonight in Laredo, Texas.
- The online campaign has caught WWE’s attention, though Sane remains released.
Impact of Fan Support
Fans have previously influenced WWE’s decisions regarding talent. One recent example is R-Truth, who faced a similar fate last summer. After a significant fan backlash, his release was reversed, and he returned with a new contract shortly thereafter. Currently, he holds the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Damian Priest.
As Monday Night Raw airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) on El-Balad, it remains to be seen how the ongoing fan support for Kairi Sane may affect her future in wrestling.
