Kairi Sane posted a message on social media on Wednesday, just when her 90-day clause with WWE is believed to have expired. The phrase she shared, "How far will I go... See you soon".
Sane was released by WWE in April as part of a round of staff cuts after WrestleMania. Following her departure, it was reported that the company believed she would eventually return to Japan, something that may have weighed in the decision to include her in that wave of layoffs.
Her post comes at a time when there is still much interest in her future, both due to her contractual situation and the storyline left pending on screen with Asuka and Iyo Sky. Although WWE abruptly ended that angle, Sane's message has reignited speculation about a possible return or a new step in her career.
For now, the wrestler's only public sign has been that brief and direct message, which sounds more like a temporary farewell than a definitive closure. In any case, her case once again highlights how non-compete clauses continue to dictate the movement calendar of several WWE figures.
The wave of layoffs left a wide and striking list, with heavyweight names such as Kairi Sane, Santos Escobar, Aleister Black, Apollo Crews, Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Alba Fyre, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Zoey Stark, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, and Zelina, in addition to several departures in NXT and the WWE ID system. Beyond the individual impact of each departure, the move reinforces the feeling that WWE is completely readjusting its staff on various fronts, from the main roster to the development brands.
