Kairi Sane Could Return to WWE to Finish Her Angle with Asuka & Iyo Skye

Posted By James Walsh on 05/04/26


Kairi Sane was among several WWE departures announced on April 24th 2026. Following the news of Kairi’s departure, a #WeWantKairi movement trended on Twitter/X.

Although she has been released by WWE, Kairi may not be entirely finished with the company. According to Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com, there is a belief within WWE that she could appear at Backlash this Saturday to wrap up her storyline with Iyo SKY and Asuka. It is not yet known whether this would be a one-time appearance or something more.

“Within WWE, it’s felt there is a better than 50% chance that Kairi shows up at Backlash to at least finish off that storyline,” Alvarez wrote to his subscribers on X. Iyo is scheduled to face Asuka in a singles match at the event.
