Kairi Sane could return to WWE to wrap up her storyline with Asuka and IYO SKY

IYO SKY and Asuka will close their rivalry with a one-on-one match at WWE Backlash. A fight that could have an unexpected and pleasant surprise. According to Bryan Alvarez, from Wrestling Observer, the company could bring Kairi Sane back for that night with the aim of ending this story in the most satisfying way possible.

"In WWE, there is a feeling that there is more than a 50% chance that Kairi will appear at Backlash to at least close that story"

Sane was one of the talents affected in the latest wave of layoffs carried out by WWE after WrestleMania 42. Her departure was one of the most talked about and criticized, as "The Pirate Princess" was one of the most beloved women by fans and her own locker room colleagues. In addition, Kairi was a recurring character in the company's television programming.

Sane has been involved from the beginning in the rivalry between IYO SKY and Asuka. Kairi's role was intended to be crucial for the resolution of the conflict, as the wrestler was torn between abandoning "The Empress of Tomorrow" due to her constant mistreatment or sticking with her out of loyalty. With this possible return, WWE could finally portray on screen Sane's decision, thus closing this story in the most complete way possible.

It is worth noting that the wrestler is fulfilling her 90-day non-compete clause, present in her WWE contract. This would not prevent her from appearing on a show of this company. It remains to be seen if Sane will finally appear at Backlash, and what the fans' reaction would be to having her back, even if only for one night.
