BREAKING: No Chance Of Ex-WWE Champion’s Appearance On 4/27 RAW

The upcoming edition of Monday Night RAW is just around the corner. However, a former WWE champion will not be a part of the show.

The Stamford-based promotion made massive cuts last week, letting go of as many as 26 superstars. The names include Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Alba Fyre, Zoey Stark, Apollo Crews, Santos Escobar, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Andre Chase, Dante Chen, Tyra Mae Steele, Sirena Linton, Tyriek Igwe, Tyson Dupont, Trill London, Luca Crusifino, Malik Blade, Chris Island, Francois Prinsloo, and Carlee Bright.

All of the aforementioned stars are getting tremendous support from fellow wrestlers and fans alike since the news about their exits surfaced. Kairi Sane is especially making the headlines due to #WeWantKairi trending across social media. This led to rumors floating around that WWE might bring back the Japanese star, as something similar has happened with R-Truth before.

Sadly, that is not the case this time around. According to PWInsider, neither Sane’s WWE release has been rescinded, nor will she appear on tonight’s RAW to give a finishing touch to her storyline with Asuka. In fact, the report also added that The Pirate Princess is already back in Japan.

PWInsider.com has been asked by a number of readers about claims the Kairi Sane WWE release had been rescinded or whether she could appear on tonight’s Raw to finish out her storyline. PWInsider.com can confirm that neither of those claims are correct. While Sane was trending on Twitter for quite a long time, there has been no change in her status. We can also confirm that Sane has already returned to Japan, so there’s no chance of her appearing on Raw.

No claims about Kairi Sane’s release being rescinded, or appearing to finish out the Iyo Sky/Asuka storyline are correct.

I’m truly grateful to have people like you by my side. Thank you for always being with me. I’ll set sail… in my own time. Until then… I love you.
