When the name Kairi Hojo comes up in conversation, there are usually 2 things that fans talk about. One is her talent inside of the ring, she is considered one of the best female wrestler’s in the world. The second is her incredible elbow drop.
If you are unfamiliar with her work, it is worth checking out her elbow drop because it is one of the best in the business today.
It has been reported in the past that Kairi Hojo is on her way to WWE. Here is the latest news on her coming to WWE.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Hojo has been told that she needs to come up with a new finisher when she comes to WWE.
According to Meltzer, she has been told that the elbow drop is “Bayley’s move”. Many people in Japan think that it is ridiculous because the move is something she is very well-known for.
If this turns out to be true and we don’t ever see Hojo use her elbow drop, it will be a shame.
Hojo is one heck of an in-ring performer and she will be fine without the elbow drop but it is a strange decision by WWE, since Bayley rarely uses the elbow drop anyways.

The elbow drop isn’t even Bayley’s, she stole it from Savage…
I wouldn’t mention the Macho Man to Vince, at least not in front of Stephanie.
Maybe you can mention that C.M. Punk used it, too. That may not be a good idea either.
How about Jay Lethal? He uses an elbow-drop and hasn’t pissed off Vince, other than by possibly being a better performer than anyone the WWE has to offer.
