As the hash tag #WeWantKairi took over social media yesterday, backstage personality Jackie Redmond threw her support behind Kairi Sane…only to delete her post later on. Kairi Sane was one of the superstars released on Friday.

Sane’s friend and sometime partner wrote a tribute to Sane:

“I understand that everyone, as an athlete, eventually faces a turning point when thinking about their life and career, but I feel so heartbroken that it came at such an unexpected time 💔 Kairi was truly loved by all her colleagues, not just as a performer but as a person.

“She was kinder than anyone, a little airheaded in the most endearing way, funny, charming, and my proud best friend. A comrade-in-arms who faced countless hardships in America, shed so many tears, and grew together with me. It’s so hard to accept that Kairi won’t be in the passenger seat of the rental car anymore, but… I’m absolutely certain that with her innate talent and the incredible knowledge and experience she’s gained in WWE, Kairi’s new journey will be something truly amazing.

“From the bottom of my heart, I wish for my beloved Kairi’s success and happiness.

I love you so much, Kairi. We’ll be best friends forever and always!”

AAA made a big announcement last night. Let the speculation run wild.

NXT invaded Dade City last night. Here are the results:

Tate Wilder defeats Viktor Zanov
Wendy Choo defeats Meghan Walker (making her NXT debut)
OTM: Bronco Nima and Lucien Price defeat Braxton Cole and Tristan Angels
Kam Hendrix defeats Kai Kavari
WWE Women’s Speed Championship Title Match: Champion Wren Sinclair defeats Layla Diggs
The Dark State: Osiris Griffin / Saquon Shugars / Dion Lennox / Cutler James defeat Shiloh Hill / Drake Morreaux / Harlem Lewis / EK Prosper
Kendal Grey defeats Karmen Petrovic
Romeo Moreno and Noam Dar defeat Brooks Jensen and Harley Riggins
NXT Women’s North American Championship Title Match: Champion Tatum Paxley defeats Nikkita Lyons

We thought WWE management made decisions about who faces who but Raw GM Adam Pearce has announced that WWE World Champion Roman Reigns will decide if Jacob Fatu can challenge for the title at Backlash. Also on Raw it will be Penta versus Rusev and Bayley, Lyra Valkyria versus Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. An appearance by Seth Rollins will start things.

Ivy Nile competed in the 2026 NPC/IFBB Professional League GRL PWR Championship, a fitness competition. She took home three wins: Women’s Physique Overall, Women’s Bodybuilding and Women’s Physique (Open Class A).
