Fans anticipating Kairi Sane’s return to WWE after her recent release are likely to be let down by her subsequent actions following the promotion’s latest roster reductions.

PWInsider dismissed rumors of Sane’s potential WWE comeback. Their report indicates that Sane has already returned to Japan, which renders her appearance highly improbable for the April 27, 2026, episode of Monday Night RAW, scheduled to take place in Laredo, Texas.
Despite the ” #WeWantKairi” trend circulating on social media throughout the weekend, PWInsider confirms that “her status remains unchanged.”
Therefore, a sudden return akin to R-Truth’s 2025 comeback post-departure should not be anticipated. Consequently, her narrative arc involving Asuka and Iyo Sky might regrettably remain unfinished.

Regrettably, WWE performs a series of roster reductions annually. Sane was included among several well-known personalities released from the promotion, concluding her second tenure which commenced in 2023.

Among other significant talent departures were members of the Wyatt Sicks faction, namely Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. Additionally, the real-life married duo Aleister Black and Zelina Vega were released, as were The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin), Apollo Crews, and Zoey Stark.
Sane responded to her release with poise, posting on X (previously Twitter): “I am genuinely thankful to have individuals like you supporting me. Thank you for your constant presence. I will embark on my next journey… at my own pace [sailboat emoji.] Until then… I love you [red heart emoji.].”
The future direction of Sane’s career remains uncertain. Given her return to Japan, possibilities include rejoining promotions like World Wonder Ring Stardom or New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).
