As noted before, Kairi Sane was released from WWE this past Friday as part of a larger batch of talent releases. Sane’s release generated very negative online backlash from fans and also negative reactions within WWE especially in regards to her storyline with IYO SKY and Asuka being abruptly dropped.
PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that rumors of WWE revoking Sane’s release due to the recent online backlash are not true. Johnson reported that there has been no change in Sane’s status with the company since her release.
Johnson reported that Sane has returned to her home country of Japan so there is no chance of her making an appearance on WWE RAW to finish out her storyline with SKY and Asuka.
