3) Possible Women’s Royal Rumble Surprise (Part 2)
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Kairi Sane hasbeen discussed for the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
“Kairi Sane hasn’t competed for WWE in a year and a half, but we’ve heard that her name has been pitched as a possible Royal Rumble entry for this weekend. Sane left the United States in the Summer of 2020 and returned to Japan, where she’s remained with WWE in an official capacity as an ambassador. She’s also done commentary work for WWE in Japan.”
My Take:
- I would love to see Kairi back. I miss her too.
