WWE has removed a popular star from a Raw advertisement amid reports of a «complicated» future for the talented performer.
WWE is in the midst of a complex situation with one of the company’s best female stars.
According to a report from Fightful Select (h/t 411Mania), former NXT Women’s Champion Kairi Sane’s current WWE status is “complicated” due to a recent injury she suffered: “Fightful Select reports that Kairi Sane has a ‘pretty complicated’ status in WWE after her head injury in May. She suffered a huge cut on her head after being thrown into the steel steps by Nia Jax during a RAW taping. Back in May, there were plans for Sane to go to Japan and work as an ambassador for WWE there. However, there is no word on how that would have impacted her in-ring career.”
The site added that plans for Sane to become an ambassador have been delayed, or possibly even ended altogether, due to Covid-19: “When sources were asked if that role would involve WWE’s rumored expansion into Japan with NXT, they said there is no expansion due to the Covid-19 pandemic… Many in the company have been ‘radio silent’ about her status, although there are several who want her to keep wrestling. The general consensus about Sane seems to be positive, but it’s unknown how things have progressed in the past month.”
Now comes the latest indication that Sane’s future in WWE remains quite unclear. WWE was briefly advertising Sane to appear in Asuka’s corner for a champion vs. champion match on Monday’s already-taped edition of Raw in what was widely viewed as a potential way to write Sane off TV:
However, WWE has since removed Sane from that advertisement, as seen in the tweet below:
Sane has dealt with multiple major head injuries in recent months, notably suffering a significant concussion at WWE TLC last December that kept her out of action for several weeks.
