Kairi Sane was shockingly released from WWE, and amid several reports, new details have emerged about the decision.

The April 25 cuts saw a handful of wrestlers let go. Apart from Sane, The Wyatt Sicks, Aleister Black, Kairi Sane, and Zelina Vega have also been released.

As per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Sane indicated she wanted to move back to Japan, prompting the company to release her despite being featured in an active storyline.

"The Kairi thing, the reason she was cut was I think that she had kinda indicated that she wanted to move back (to Japan)," Meltzer stated.

"The reality is, this is not a money issue. This company makes... whatever it is. The revenue between UFC and WWE and throwing everything in, the revenue's in the billions of dollars."

WrestleVotes reported that WWE has no plans to reverse the release despite fan chants of "We Want Kairi" breaking out on Raw. The source explained that the company cannot set a precedent of reversing releases every time fans voice their displeasure.

"The big part here is — could we see a reversal much like R-Truth? No. They didn't want to bring Truth back — they caved in, broke down, and said, 'Come on back.' You can't do that again within a calendar year, because every time the critics or voices get too loud, people are going to expect that talent to get brought back," WrestleVotes stated.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider confirmed that Sane has already returned to Japan, eliminating any possibility of her appearing on Raw to conclude her storyline with IYO SKY and Asuka. Johnson also dismissed claims that the release had been rescinded.

Kairi Sane departed the company amid an active storyline with Asuka and IYO Sky. The angle centered on Asuka manipulating Sane and isolating her from Sky, with fans expecting a payoff at WrestleMania 42 that never happened.
