Kairi Sane was recently released by WWE alongside several other stars after WrestleMania 42, and she or he has now taken to social media to thank the fans and her peers while also seemingly dismissing some reports about her exit.
After Sane’s departure from WWE, a report claimed that she was released because she wanted to depart the US and return to Japan. In a post on X, Sane stated that she didn’t walk away from WWE.
“What I can say is I do know there’s been a variety of speculation, but I actually love this work, my teammates, and my fans. I’ve never walked away, and I’ve given my all in every thing I do. I hope you are all doing well ❤️,” she said.

The Japanese star’s first run with WWE resulted in 2021, ultimately leading her to return to Japan, where she worked as a WWE ambassador for the ultimate yr of her contract. She eventually returned to WWE in 2023 after wrestling for NJPW following her initial WWE exit. Very similar to the social media movement to bring back R-Truth last yr, fans of Sane have also demanded that WWE re-sign her following her release after WrestleMania 42. Nonetheless, unlike with R-Truth, WWE reportedly has no plans to heed the fans’ requests, with reports indicating that she is already back in her homeland.
Sane could thoroughly return to the US in the longer term with WWE’s key rival, AEW, which was previously considering signing her after she left WWE during her first stint.
