Fans could have rallied for Kairi Sane to be rehired by WWE following her release, however the Japanese wrestler’s future could also be as a part of AEW.
Sane was amongst those released from WWE in April 2026, despite being in the course of a program on the time that included Asuka and IYO SKY.
On social media, fans have noticed that Sane recently began following Tony Khan on Instagram, sparking discussion of Sane being fascinated about joining AEW.
Sane is currently subject to a 90-day non-compete clause with WWE, stopping her from wrestling/signing with one other company for months.
In WWE, Sane is a former WWE NXT Women’s Champion and multi-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, having held the gold with Asuka.
