WWE Fans Respond To Triple H Social Media Post With Demands To Re-Hire Kairi Sane

This past Friday, WWE executed its annual post-WrestleMania talent cuts, with both main roster and developmental stars being released. While some talent had been cut before returning to the ring and others were let go after struggling to earn TV time, neither was the case for Kairi Sane, who was released despite being featured on "WWE Raw" on a weekly basis and being involved in a storyline with Asuka and IYO SKY.

Over the weekend, fans started a movement online in an attempt to get Sane re-hired, leading #WeWantKairi to trend on X for several days. On Wednesday, WWE CCO Paul "Triple H" Levesque took to X to share a clip of himself helping CM Punk rehearse his WrestleMania entrance, but the responses were flooded with people asking for him to bring "The Pirate Princess" back, with many comments including images of Sane and numerous instances of the #WeWantKairi hashtag.

Earlier this week it was reported that Sane had informed WWE that she wanted to return to her home country of Japan and that her release was not necessarily a financial decision. However, a statement from Sane herself seemed to refute this notion.

This past Monday on "Raw," WWE announced that SKY will face Asuka at Backlash next month, which is a one-one-one match that was originally rumored to take place at WrestleMania. Sane had played an integral role in the feud, with SKY questioning Asuka's seemingly abusive treatment of her partner in the Kabuki Warriors.
