A top WWE official dropped a cryptic statement after the mass release that happened on Friday. Fans on social media are in disbelief, speculating that their voices have been heard by the company.
On April 24, the biggest wrestling company in the world released a total of 24 superstars, including all six members of The Wyatt Sicks, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega and Kairi Sane, among others.
Thanks for the submission!
There was a ton of backlash from fans on social media, especially about Sane’s release, since her storyline with Asuka and IYO SKY hasn’t had the big payoff.
#WeWantKairi has been trending on social media platforms, with Raw general manager Adam Pearce seemingly hinting that the fans’ voices have been heard once again.
“I never underestimate pro wrestling fans,” Pearce tweeted.
The message by Adam Pearce led to a ton of speculation from fans that the company might have heard their pleas on social media and brought back Kairi Sane. With Monday Night Raw just hours away, some wondered if The Pirate Princess would be rehired.
Here are some of the comments on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Do you know something we don’t know?” a fan asked.
“Did they make the call? #WeWantKairi,” one fan tweeted.
“Just make it happen!” another fan said.
“Shut the hell up! Bring her back! Finish the story!” one fan remarked.
“It’s gonna take more than a few rich men with bad ideas and money to shut fans up,” another fan claimed.
Kairi Sane has had two stints in WWE, from 2016 to 2021 and from 2023 to 2026. She’s a one-time NXT Champion and a three-time Women’s Tag Team Champion.
