Backstage Update on Kairi’s Talks With AEW For Potential Deal

As noted before, Kairi Sane was released by WWE this past April as part of a larger batch of releases and departures. Kairi had hired notable wrestling agent Barry Bloom as her new manager to represent her for new contract negotiations and has been in recent talks with AEW for a potential deal.

Fightful Select reported that their sources stated that Kairi has yet to sign an official contract with AEW nor is she currently planned to make an appearance at All Out 2026.

One source spoken to reportedly stated that it would be nearly legally impossible for Kairi to appear at All Out as things currently stand.

It was reported that conversations between Kari and AEW are still ongoing and the current expectation is that she would be on a dual contract with another promotion if she gets signed.
