In what seems is a direct response to a report by the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, Kairi Sane has made a statement concerning her departure from WWE.
Meltzer reported about her release that she decided she wanted to move back to Japan.
“The reason she was cut was I think that she had kind of indicated that she wanted to move back to Japan. The reality is, this is not a money issue, you know what I mean? It’s like this company makes, whatever it is, I mean the revenue is between UFC and them, the revenue’s in the billions of dollars. So, you know what I mean? To keep a cohesive storyline and it’s just not that expensive to do. I mean they probably, I don’t want to say squander, because I’m sure that squandering is not the right word, but they probably spend way more on things that are inconsequential in many ways compared to that.”
Sane set the record straight in an X post stating:
“What I can say is I know there’s been a lot of speculation, but I truly love this work, my teammates, and my fans. I’ve never walked away, and I’ve given my all in everything I do. I hope you’re all doing well,” she wrote.
